I want to clarify that I am not leisurely spending time in the restroom or engaging in phone conversations. What is the appropriate response to these rude and impatient co-workers?
To address this issue, stand still between your co-worker and the bathroom door. Look concerned and apologetic as you ask if everything is alright.
In our increasingly digital world, people sometimes forget that their expressions and reactions are still visible to others in person. This gentle reminder will not only draw attention to their impatience but also make them more uncomfortable the longer you engage in discussing and apologizing for the situation.
Dear Miss Manners: When waiting in the doctor’s office treatment room, should I stand to greet the doctor when they enter? Does it depend on their gender? I am a man in my sixties from the South, and I still use “ma’am” and “sir.”
Regardless of whether you are dressed or undressed, remember that the doctor’s visit is not a social occasion. It is acceptable to greet the doctor without standing up.
Dear Miss Manners: I am a dog lover and my friends are aware of this. I often receive dog-related gifts from them. One of my friends gave me a product for my dogs that I don’t use. I expressed my gratitude for the thoughtful gift but kept it aside with the intention of giving it to another friend at a later time.
Months later, the same friend noticed the unused item while at my home. In a moment of forgetfulness, I asked them if they would like the product since I had no use for it. Immediately, I realized my mistake, but it was too late. My friend graciously accepted the offer, but I could sense that my actions had hurt their feelings. Should I have addressed the situation in the moment, and if so, what should I have said? Is there anything I can do now to make up for my poor behavior? I am deeply remorseful about this incident.
We are all prone to making mistakes, and it is important to take responsibility for them. In this case, a sincere and heartfelt apology
