Certain matters in life benefit from asking a second opinion. From the small, "Do these shoes match my outfit?" to the very large, "How does one write a condolence note?" asking for help can never, ever hurt.
So opens the forum! Please send any etiquette related questions you may have and I will do my best to answer them.

Things.That.I.Loathe
1) The smell, taste, and texture of gingerbread. There shall be no gingerbread house decorating nor associated merry-making in my household come any December.
2) Kate Gosselin's hair"style". It's a lady's reverse-mullet, an homage to Carol Brady, a hairstylist's cruel joke.
3) The shocking decline of sending thank you notes. It's an absolute given that if someone gives you a gift that person stands to be properly thanked. Thanking by email or text is out of the question as it is clearly an easy out for you.
4) Lladro porcelain figures. A more expensive version of Hallmark's "Little Moments". Same amount of tackiness.
5) People taking up more than one seat on a bus, train, plane, subway. This is not a slap to people who are overweight, rather a call to those who feel as if they and their possessions merit double or triple the space.
6) Anklets. I think bracelets should remain on wrists alone.
