On today’s show we take your questions on contributing to a trip as a birthday gift, fielding rude messages from clients, asking for a father’s blessing after the ceremony, and thanking friends for letting you live with them. For Awesome Etiquette sustaining members your question is about voicing concerns about pets you are pet sitting for. Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute and a postscript on punctuality and patience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.
