Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
I’m flying to corporate headquarters for a daylong meeting with stakeholders next week. I just received the itinerary, and lunch, happy hour and dinner will be provided for us.
The host did not eat any of my crackers until I was about to leave. She tasted one, declared it delicious, then dumped the entire bowl on her platter. The gathering was over and we were all leaving at the same time. So while your friend’s timing was unfortunate, it was reasonable, in Miss Manners’ estimation, for her to have expected that the crackers were a present and now belonged to her. And apparently only to her.My wife is an accomplished photographer, and we just had our living room repainted and redecorated. Unbeknownst to me, she had one of her photos blown up to a 3-foot-by-4-foot canvas print and wants to hang it in the newly minted living room.
