I have not told my friend about Jason’s meanness and bullying because I don’t need to drag her into it. Unfortunately, she gave me a gift that was made by Jason and his wife.
Now I feel bad, as my friend spent a good amount of money for this item. I am wondering if I should have gently advised her of the situation, graciously declined the gift and let her pass it along to someone who would have appreciated it. She is totally unaware of the hurt this man and his wife have caused me and she was very generous with this gift.GENTLE READER: The idea that it is possible to harass someone in a low-key way is, Miss Manners realizes, not unique to you.
GENTLE READER: Thank the giver now, before reading the book. If you then like it, it will give you something to talk about when next you meet. If you hate the book, but are asked about it, you can repeat how much you are looking forward to reading it.DEAR MISS MANNERS: Answering the phone is not my job, but I still do so about 10 or 12 times a day. Often, people hang up without saying anything.
