      Nonsense. A guest is someone invited or otherwise allowed on the promise on civil terms by the those authorized to decide who gets to be on the premise, typically excluding those providing goods and/or services to the establishment on the premise.

        Yeah, being a guest under those conditions would be a really big whoop. "Did you have a good weekend?" "Sure. I was allowed on the premises of some friends, and I had a really . . . lukewarm time."

          Knowing all of this is critical: https://www.amazon.com/Emily-Posts-Etiquette-19th-Manners/dp/0062439251/ref=sr_1_3?crid=OPF2GRFNFU69&dchild=1&keywords=etiquette+book+emily+post&qid=1628344270&sprefix=etiquette+book+emily+%2Caps%2C204&sr=8-3

          Whether or not you follow it is another matter.

            I worked with a surgeon who insisted that a 7:30 case meant the knife hits the skin at 7:30. Woe to the resident who didn't have the patient on the table, asleep, prepped and draped in time for a 7:30 incision.

            "Good afternoon!" he would say to the resident. "I got our patient all ready. Why don't you go make some rounds while I relieve this man of his gallbladder."

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Huge pet peeve of mine. Corollary to that one is "Never enter a room when you're talking."

                As someone who spent countless hours waiting for late surgeons, this hits home. I can understand emergencies delaying you at other places, but unless someone's dying, there's no excuse for not showing up at 7:30 for a 7:30 case.

                We usually do Thanksgiving buffet-style. A while ago, we had some guests for TG. One of them loaded his plate with food, and was done eating before everyone was even seated.

                  Mortifying.

                  Education is extremely important.

                      You know I started reading this post and then, I just don't know what happened I blacked out or something. What year is it, is COVID still a thing?
