Plus: I don’t know she’s even there until I’m walloped by her perfume.
: My husband and I love to cook. We often host small dinner parties for up to eight people, which is the max that our small dining room can comfortably hold.Miss Manners: I’m stunned by my father’s request for the wedding dinner
I wonder this because I come from a culture in which impromptu dinner invites don’t raise an eyebrow, but where I live now, dinner parties seem to be more formal affairs. And since we are being frank, the honesty that Miss Manners intends you to practice is to explain why the invitation is coming so late, not that they will be seated next to your neighbor’s husband, who is a crashing boor.I started a new job as a mental health technician, and one of the therapists I work with always has a cloud of perfume around her. It is so bad that every time she walks into the same room as me, her perfume triggers my asthma and I have to leave the room.
I would just avoid this woman, but I am supposed to update her on what I have observed with the patients. Also, I can’t avoid her because I cannot see her: I have severely low vision, and cannot see that she is nearby until I smell her perfume.
