Letter writer asks if tattoos in the workplace are okay.

My 27-year-old granddaughter says most people her age have tattoos, and don’t even cover them up at work. Is this the new norm? I thought legitimate businesses made employees cover them up.things here that Miss Manners would like to avoid: finding out what you believe constitutes a “legitimate business,” and challenging workplace policies that have already been established and with which everyone seems to be content.

It’s happened many times, in nearly an identical way each time, and I am just as flummoxed for a response in my 40s as I was in my teens. How would Miss Manners suggest I respond?I recently bought a fairly expensive set of deck furniture , which I use frequently. The problem is that there is always cat hair all over the furniture.

Against my better judgment, I tried to clean the furniture with a roller brush, but the cat hair will not come off. I can't use my vacuum, because then it would have cat hair inside it and I'd have to get rid of it.
