Modern Manners: Don't whisper

7/11/2019

Just because someone is whispering doesn't mean that they are gossiping or being mean, but it's not a good look. When people are whispering in front of other people it makes everyone else feel awkward and excludes others from the conversation. We can all remember an occasion when someone cupped their hand to their mouth and whispered something in their friend's ear. You can help but wonder what they are saying and if they are talking about you. If you can't say something in front of the whole group, save it for later, or don't say it at all.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Not only does it look untidy, but it gets in the way when people are trying to walk past. It doesn't take much effort - just push it in when you leave the desk or table.

It's holiday season and many of you will be getting there by plane. There is nothing worse than having someone kick the back of your seat the whole way there. Airplanes are confined spaces so be considerate of your fellow travellers.

RSVP stands for répondez s'il vous plaît, which is French for please respond. It is important to respond to any invitation, but especially one with an RSVP so that the host knows how many people to cater for. Here are some tips:
  • Never ask a host who else is coming;
  • It is impolite to change your mind after you have responded, even if a better offer comes up;
  • Respond earlier rather than later;
  • Formal invitations to weddings sometimes have an RSVP card that you can complete and post back;
  • Often the host will let you know how they want you to respond by leaving their email address or phone number;
  • It's rude to ask if you can bring someone unless the invitation specifies 'and guest' or 'and partner.'
