And yes, this post is totally unrelated to the title.
Or maybe not. I've been wanting to smack someone hard on her face for a while now. Someone who's traipsing on thin ice where my hospitality and kindness are concerned. I can tolerate careless attitude to a certain extent. But please oh please do not overdo it.
Who said social graces come as a part of the whole I-was-born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-my-mouth package? It's so not true.
Sometimes, I question my own sanity and common sense. Just because others can't maintain a minimum sense of decorum!
I'm not a perfect woman but when I'm a guest in someone's else dwelling, I make sure I be on my best behavior! Taking my irascibleness (I won't even look it up because I'm annoyed) into consideration, writing down a set of house rules and frame it by the door sounds better and better by each passing minute. I shouldn't be keeping my temper in check while I'm in my own house. I certainly wouldn't!
And leave your shoes/slippers out!
I would like to keep going on about how one's discourtesy can antagonise me to the point that I, in turn, forget my own manners and all the diplomacy I managed to acquire in my 20 and odd years fly through the window, and lose my cool; it's best I put a lid on it for tonight.
While we're still on the topic of etiquette, is it better to serve a guest food or tell him/her to "help yourself"?
Personally I wouldn't mind the latter.
