Little Book of Etiquette Book

A lot of this was common sense if you were raised properly. You just need to stop and think before you do something and really you should never ask a woman when she is due, ever, unless you have seen the sonogram. Save yourself the embarrassment! Many of the place settings and table items I was unaware of because I have never gone/hosted a formal dinner. I also have never been to a restaurant that has a "captain" who is the lead server of the night and probably never will as that kind of place makes me feel nervous and out of my element. Some of the answers are just bite your tongue as you don't want to make an uncomfortable situation more uncomfortable. Times have definitely changed which Ms. Post added why we have some of the customs still.
