Maybe it's just that you don't know how to use social courtesy.

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post Senate.

Act as host and hostess.

They know that courtesy means showing respect, thinking of the other person, real friendliness.

Hello.

And welcome to awesome etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette through the lens of consideration,

respect, and honesty.

On today's show, we take your etiquette questions about wedding etiquette follow-ups,

when annual parties don't happen, asking strangers to watch your stuff, a scheduling issue that resulted in bad email etiquette, and leaving a surprise party before the guest of honor arrives.

Plus, your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript from Emily Post, reflecting on how she approached etiquette after almost 30 years writing about the topic.

For Awesome Etiquette sustaining members,

your extra question of the week is about a housewarming

slash stock the bar party and how it really comes across.

You can listen to your ads-free version of the show

with its extra question by downloading it at awesomeetiquet.com.

All that is coming up.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of Vermont Public Radio and is proud to be produced in Burlington, Vermont by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Lizzie Post.
