Back in the day people- I suppose mainly men-tipped their hats to one another. That hat tip was served as a sign of recognition, respect, or gratitude. Or sometimes it just plainly was a “hello”. Nowadays, I’m not too sure hat tipping occurs. There was an annual live […]
The guy blocked me. He was exasperated. He was flustered. He was annoying. Although, as I will note everyone has a different comfort level regarding covid and possible covid exposure. I get that completely and I try very hard to be respectful. I work in healthcare and thus […]
For the past few years, cell phones seemed to be primarily used for texting, tweeting, and everything else but talking. Then the year of covid-19 hit and talking on cell phones has made a comeback. All sorts of phone calls are happening again. However, phone etiquette remains abysmally […]

When I travel abroad, I am often quite fascinated by the restrooms. Bathrooms can serve as cultural windows and thus I often use the restroom right after I land in a new country. It gives you immediate insights into what you are about to find. I know this […]
