How to Tell Someone They Are Being Rude

It used to be there were etiquette experts, people who would tell you the polite way to handle any situation. I think one was called Miss Manners. It’s tempting to assume they went away because people don’t care enough about being polite to read their advice, but I suspect most of them got out of the job because it required them to spend their entire day reading requests for help from rude people. You know that would wear on you. I doubt many of them bothered to say “please.”

Note from Missy: On that note, if any of you are in the market for a good advice column, I strongly recommend Ask a Manager.  Even though I’m self-employed, I still read it eagerly every dang day.
