Plus: I’m appalled at this change in college graduation ceremonies.
In my neighborhood, periodically, there are open houses. I like to go to them to see the layout of the houses and get decorating ideas.Miss Manners: My departing co-worker offered me a gift. Was my response out of line?
Otherwise, an open house may be considered open. As Miss Manners discourages guests from asking for house tours, and everyone from peeking into windows, this seems a harmless way to satisfy the curiosity people have about the way others live.Something apparently shifted between my son’s college graduation ceremony in 2019 and my daughter’s.
Those of us still trying to enjoy the full ceremony — and those whose graduates were at the end of the alphabet — were forced to deal with people squeezing past our knees as they left the aisles.: It always puzzles Miss Manners when those who object to rudeness accuse themselves — however disingenuously — of failure to keep up with progress. You are not required to follow progress that is headed downward into lack of consideration for others.
