Plus: My co-worker was so mean about my small mistake.
: Our daughter and our future son-in-law selected three meal options for their wedding: one beef, one chicken and one vegetarian pasta.Miss Manners: I confronted the bride about the exclusion, and she got defensive
My dad learned of the meal options through a conversation this week. He texted me the next day, saying that he and his girlfriend “would like to enjoy the meal at the wedding” and therefore want me to request fish for them — either salmon or whitefish. I am not a fan of such raw language. I do not try to control the speech of others, but if I were the patient, I would feel jarred by hearing these unpleasantries from those caring for me at my bedside.
However, Common Sense, seconded by Miss Manners, counsels against putting too much faith in the power of anesthesia. Or in believing that things are as bad as they are reported on television.: I had given a co-worker some wrong information — nothing life-threatening, just the wrong date for something. Instead of just correcting me calmly, she got mad and barked the correct date at me with this mean expression on her face and a very rude tone.
