She wants to force us to pay for the honeymoon.
However, if you have been expressly asked not to do that, Miss Manners does not feel that you are obliged to deliver some compensation. By all means, give to charity, with or without their names, but do not consider that payment due.: I tested positive for COVID-19 and prepared to quarantine for 10 days. A dear friend sent me a takeout gift card and told me to treat myself to a nice meal while stuck at home.
Two days later, it turned out that my test had been a false positive, and I was able to stop quarantining. Would it be rude to return the gift that my friend gave me, assuming that I would have a much longer quarantine? Or would it be rude to keep the gift?: Normally, returning a present is an insult, but these are not normal times nor normal circumstances. Still, it would be awkward, and Miss Manners can think of something better than the risk of seeming to say, “I’m fine, so I don’t need your generosity.
: In my career, I’ve been told by co-workers that I “must be OCD” because my workspace is organized and uncluttered. In every instance, the commenter has a messy workspace. Out of politeness, I never go to their area and tell them they “must be a slob or a hoarder.” Shouldn’t they avoid the OCD label for me?Miss Manners would reply, “What a shame we can’t all follow your excellent example,” while gesturing at those overloaded desks and trying very hard not to smirk.GENTLE READER
