Miss Manners: Electronic Door Codes and Morning Greetings
So, picture this: you have an electronic door code at your place, and your relatives know it. They’ve used it before for legit reasons, like grabbing stuff for you when you were in the hospital or beating you to the house for dinner during a storm. But now you’re wondering, when is it all good for them to punch in that code and waltz in? Miss Manners says, “None times.” ‘Cause, you know, they go from being helpful fam to straight-up creepy intruders.
Now, let’s talk morning etiquette. You stumble downstairs, bleary-eyed and in need of caffeine, and you’re faced with a dilemma: who says “hello” first? Is it the one already chillin’ downstairs or the newcomer entering the room? Does gender play a role in this morning ritual? Miss Manners keeps it real with, “Nah.” There’s no official rule here. Whoever spots the other person first should be the one to kick things off with a friendly greeting. And please, no surprise attacks from behind while someone’s trying to make coffee. Not cool, dude.
