Etiquette Tip

If you haven't seen someone in a year, don't greet them with "Hey, have you gained weight?"

Although you'd think that would be obvious, personal experience suggests otherwise. (And no, I haven't, thanks.) People don't always heed the call of the obvious.

Hence the warning label on the dryer at the laundromat: "Remove all pets and children before starting machine."

And the (literally) 50 people who've hit "Reply All" to an email that starts with "Please do not use reply all in response to this email."

Somedays, I just give up.
