Was I out of bounds to request he wear headphones?
Certainly this is rude. Bristle as this young man might, you did nothing wrong by politely and reasonably asking him to use headphones in a public place.
Over this time, my friend has mentioned me as a very dear friend, and the widower is inclined to share a piece of jewelry with me. It is a vintage designer piece — a choker, I believe. I am happy to receive it as a loving response to his loss. I believe there is no protocol for the preemptive acknowledgment of a gift. It will be at least three months before I receive it, after he has placed it in my friend’s hands to deliver to me. I am a most sincere and constant writer of formal thank-you notes, so you might understand my dilemma.No one ever complained about too many thank-you letters. Well, only if they were bemoaning their own deficiencies in writing them, of course. And fortunately, you do not complain about that.
