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

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dampost Center 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 what to do when a lost dog shows up at your door,

whether you should send condolences to a best friend

whose ex-husband has passed away, and how to express disagreements in a shared community

while keeping things collegial. For community members, your bonus question is about what to do

when a hostess gift you gave turns out to be headed for the Facebook marketplace.

Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where I get the

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