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

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and...

...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

questions on navigating COVID in the present day, when you feel left out of a wedding party, and kids attending funerals.

For community members, your question of the week is about the increase in tipping practices.

Plus, your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where we introduce our latest featured trainer Hayden Wilson.

All that's 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 Dan Post Sending. And I'm Lizzie Post and cousin, I stepped in it this week.

Oh, no. Just to make you all feel good that like Dan and I have these moments in our lives too.

I have taken care of the lakehouse right now, always super enjoyable.

Love the couple that's renting the little cottage next door.

And we hang out quite a bit.

And I think I previously talked about them having me over for dinner and that like ridiculously good dessert we had.

Well, they have a friend up.

They're all doing a Spartan race this weekend.

And we all went to go see my friend do a little music and like have a little food and drink at a local spot.

And I meet their friend who I managed to call like three other names other than his name.
