So many people need to hear, and understand:

If someone gives you a compliment, it's perfectly okay to just say, "Thank you." You don't have to make an excuse, you don't have to compliment them back, and you certainly don't have to try to deflect or contradict the compliment. You can just say, "Thank you," and even add "that's very kind."

(You *can* compliment back, if you want, sure. But it's not obligatory.)

What is your stance with food at the table? I have heard that this is not an appropriate practice for some, but as a food loving American, every table I have been at has almost always had food during the game.

Watch me... I will even eat in character!

Why are some people so frigging rude?
Got followed by some rando on fetlife this morning, because he liked my pictures of my pvc stuff yesterday then sent me lots of Pvt messages demanding I give him my WhatsApp number or telegram name.
Needless to say he got blocked
I mean please at least have the decency to chat a little first πŸ™„πŸ‘€

Another thing that is now a lost art- pleases and than yous. People just expect things done now and have no appreciable for those who are doing it. Makes me sad 😞

Has anyone else noticed a lot of nasty ageist comments going around? I guess it's just what the trolls think they got to troll me with...

OK. If someone says something you don't like or think is offensive, maybe don't scream first and ask questions later. But *definitely* don't scream first, ask questions, realise it's your mistake and assume it's your right to decide that there's no harm done. And *double definitely* don't edit the thread so you don't look like a c*nt. Be a grown up and say sorry.
The end.

ChatGPT: Etiquette Butler!

If you have any questions about being uncouth, or of presenting bad form, ChatGPT is here to correct you!

1. Don't cut your spaghetti with a knife and fork! Swirl the spaghetti on your fork using a spoon. No slurping, you sloth!

2. No slurping your soup, either, you scat! When you are finishing your soup tilt the bowl AWAY from you, and not toward you to get the most of the last drop.

Did I say, "No Slurping, Ever?"
