In today's Miss Manners column, advice columnist Judith Martin answers a reader's question about whether to greet fellow retirees in their pajamas. You can send your questions to Miss Manners through her email, [email protected] MISS MANNERS: My friends and I live in a retirement community that takes good care of us, in part by putting little levers near the tops of our apartment doors that our security personnel flip up at night.
Should we greet the person in this situation or just keep walking, looking straight ahead?GENTLE READER: Perhaps, as this is a retirement establishment, Miss Manners can invoke the Newspaper-on-the-Porch rule without being asked what on earth she means. How would a newspaper land on the porch unless you left your laptop there and it wasn’t stolen? The meaning is that a brief moment of visibility, even when not dressed for public view, should be politely ignored.
