DEAR MISS MANNERS: I will soon be attending my 50th law school reunion. I expect that, at least once, I will be in the company of a certain married couple, as both people were law school classmates of mine.

If it irritates you beyond polite tolerance, you may say, “Ah! I see another classmate. I’ll leave you two alone to enjoy each other’s company.”Asking Eric: We’re miffed that our kindness would be rewarded with a snubDear Annie: We check in on our elderly neighbor, but she needs full-time care ... what can we do?If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
