Plus: Must I schedule my parties around their dogs’ routine?
GENTLE READER:
But this is not why Miss Manners so phrases the problem. She does it to avoid the insuperable etiquette problem of demanding someone’s citizenship as a condition of doing business. If the requested number of repetitions is insupportable, blame the connection and ask if the representative can speak very, very slowly so that you can understand.I have, on multiple occasions, invited my fiance and his best friends over for dinner.
The main excuse is that they need to feed their dogs at a certain time. I find it infuriating that my party is to be planned around their dogs’ eating needs. But also, I feel very disrespected, being told when my party will start. I have my own reasons for why I want to start the evening earlier — and I am the host. Why should their reasons override my party’s start time?
