... I don’t think I’ve ever completed a sentence around her. ...
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have a good friend who always interrupts me in a conversation. I don’t think I’ve ever completed a sentence around her! Then she proceeds to tell me she has a brother, cousin, neighbor, etc. who has gone through whatever I’m trying to express. Help! What do I do??
If you assume an attentive, beatific, static and, above all, silent smile , she will lose interest and either wander off or ask what you think of what she just said.This eventually works on even the wildest humans, which Miss Manners knows from having spent a great deal of time observing them in their natural habitat. Not having spent much time in the woods, she makes no similar claim about actual wild animals -- no matter how chatty they may be.DEAR MISS MANNERS: I don’t drink coffee.
So, after a meal at the home of friends, whether old or new, when coffee is offered, I always decline. However, I long for a cup of something to join the rest. Usually I just sip from my water glass, but that’s difficult if coffee is served away from the dinner table. GENTLE READER: The etiquette rule that prevents guests from asking for things not offered is not absolute.
