Unfortunately for the writer, Miss Manners takes the opposite view.
When using such bathrooms — at work, at a restaurant or elsewhere — I have no inclination to respond vocally to a knock . The door is locked and the knocking person will quickly discover that upon trying to enter.
I have polled my friend group about this and we are evenly divided on knock vs. handle. What’s your take?: Miss Manners votes for knocking. She herself finds it quite jarring to hear a bathroom door being jangled, particularly when there is a remote chance that she forgot to lock it.: My best friend and I have very frank and open communications on most topics, but there is one issue I feel very unsure about properly handling.
It seems rude to not acknowledge the occasion, but given the state of their marriage, I can’t come up with a way to tactfully commemorate their milestone. Is there any good way to handle this situation?: Birthdays are not always happy and mornings are not always good. Greetings and commemorations are not commandments that recipients are expected to follow.
