The letter published in the Miss Manners advice column describes a situation involving a young job seeker who applied for a summer position earlier in the year. After expressing interest in a job opening in February, the applicant was invited to an interview with the potential employer. According to the letter, the interview went well, and the employer indicated positive interest in hiring the candidate. However, due to timing, the employer’s work season began before the applicant had completed college studies. During the conversation, the employer encouraged the applicant to stay in contact and assured them that he would follow up once the academic term was finished. Relying on this expectation, the applicant made efforts to remain in touch and wait for further communication. Despite these attempts, the employer did not respond again, leaving the applicant without clarity or closure regarding the job opportunity. The situation highlights a common issue in modern hiring practices often referred to as “ghosting,” where one party—frequently employers—fails to respond after initial engagement or interviews. The letter frames the emotional and practical uncertainty that can arise when a candidate is left without a clear yes or no answer after what seemed like a promising interview. It also reflects broader etiquette concerns about professional communication, particularly the expectation of courtesy in hiring processes and the difficulty applicants face when communication abruptly stops. The column addresses the social norms surrounding follow-up behavior and the frustration experienced when those norms are not met in professional settings.

How Unequal Bill Splitting Affects Your Finances and Social Etiquette in the UK
📰 Original title: The big bill split: Why being polite – and your mate’s cocktail – is costing you £244 a year

Many Brits frequently overpay on shared bills to avoid awkward conversations about money, a phenomenon described as the 'politeness penalty'. Research by Zopa Bank reveals that one in three people regularly pay more than their fair share when dining out, often losing around £240 per year. Young adults, particularly those aged 25 to 34, are the most affected. The awkwardness often arises from not wanting to calculate or argue about who owes what, and this cultural reluctance to discuss money contrasts with countries like Denmark, where bills are typically paid individually or itemised by servers. Digital tools such as Splitwise, Monzo, and Zopa aim to simplify splitting costs, yet repayment issues remain common, with some people needing multiple reminders to collect owed money. While generosity can boost happiness, particularly when paying for close friends, the social expectation to cover acquaintances’ expenses can be stressful. Experts suggest addressing payment methods upfront to avoid discomfort, ensuring fairness without causing friction. With the UK facing economic pressures, negotiating shared costs equitably may help individuals protect both their finances and relationships.

6 small things that make you a guest hosts love having over
So, question for y'all: are we back to shaking hands? I was so relieved when, early in the pandemic, we stopped doing that, and I had hoped it would not come back, but then yesterday FOUR people wanted to shake my hand on meeting me, and the other week, a doctor I saw also wanted to shake my hand. Is the handshake back? And more importantly, how do you (politely) get out of it when a hand is offered?
Would it be weird if I started having conversations and discussions between my two accounts? I mean, if I started to responding to some of my kolektiva posts from my beige.party account, and vice versa? I could have whole conversations with myself! 🤣
Could be funny, could be lame. I guess it would depend on how I did it. But it's almost tempting.
The one thing I would never do is boost or like a post on one account from the other. Frankly, I don't boost or favorite my own posts •ever•. I know that you CAN, but it just feels cheap to me!
I wish there was some kind of a guide to the etiquette of Mastodon, and to online posting in general. Wouldn't that be cool?
Is wearing earbuds in the grocery store antisocial?

Could those who think it's acceptable #mastodon

thanks
