In this episode, Nick and Leah answer listener questions about dressing for galas when the invitation is vague, pushing in chairs after dining, taking cookies prematurely from buffets, and much more.

What is the etiquette around asking multiple questions in a single text message? Should anything be done when a deceased colleague’s LinkedIn account continues to post automated updates? When finished with a meal, is it proper to push in your chair before leaving the table? Is it acceptable to take cookies from a birthday dessert buffet before “Happy Birthday” is sung? If you ask someone for something, they decline, and then discard it later, is that rude?
