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 questions

on unfortunately hating a book club and needing to get out of it,

teaching an eight-year-old to chew with their mouth closed, and tipping a friend's apartment building valet.

For community members, your question of the week is about bringing alcohol to a sober friend's house.

Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where Dan and I reminisce and look to the future as we celebrate episode 600 of awesome etiquette.

All that's coming up.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from our snowy home offices in Vermont and is proudly produced by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Lizzie Post.

And I'm Dan Post Sending.

Happy 600th, cousin.

Happy 600th to you, too, Lizzie Post.

Thank you so much.

We did it.

Another great big round, even number. I know, I know. If only the weeks of the year were 50s. We've made it thus far. We've made it thus far.

I know, I know.

If only the weeks of the year were 50, not 52, it would be, you know.

But no, it does feel really good to get to get to another kind of milestone with the show.
