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! Welcome to Awesome Etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette

through the lens of consideration, respect, and honesty. On today's show, we take your questions on

paying back generous family members,

firmly defining dietary restrictions when attending parties,

using best regards when corresponding with strangers and adequately thinking your host for giving up their bed.

For awesome etiquette sustaining members, our question of the week is about people who borrow things and don't put them back where they belong.

Plus, your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript on etiquette kindergarten.

All that coming up.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of our home offices in Vermont and is proud to be produced by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Pooja Gup the Sending.

And I'm Dan Post Sending.

And it is so good to have you on the show.

This is kind of, this is, you know, so many things.

I'm a little nervous.

I'm excited.

Me too.

Me too.

And I'm happy that Lizzie, so Lizzie is on a vacation, which is why I'm here.
