There’s no way I was keeping this item in my house — but that wasn’t her fault.

The idea that it is possible to harass someone in a low-key way is, Miss Manners realizes, not unique to you. But she cannot help noticing that the illogic of simultaneously hyping and downplaying whatever happened is what led to your present confusion.

If you were harassed, then you may have a duty to warn your friend about Jason, if not necessarily to ruin his business. If, instead, the behavior was merely annoying or insulting, without being harassing, then your instinct not to drag your friend into it was the right one.When one has received a book as a present, should one wait until skimming or reading the book in order to comment on it in the thank-you response? Or should the thank-you be immediate, saving all comments on the book for another communication?Thank the giver now, before reading the book.

I assume this is because they realize they have dialed the wrong number. But I was under the impression that it’s rude to hang up silently, and that one should apologize briefly. When wrong-number callers say something, at least I know that the phone call was not an important call with a dropped connection.

If you, as the mis-caller, can hang up quickly enough to believe, in your heart, that the call did not go through, she is willing to overlook a single, stray beep from another home electronic device she never really wanted.
