Now on to Embracing Etiquette with Teresa...
Unwitting Rudeness
Lack of poor table manners and talking overly loud due to a hearing problem are unintentional but rude. Smacking, hitting the plate or glassware with a utensil, and chewing with your mouth open are just a few of the manners we are referring to.
Monday we will cover Bottom-of theBarrel Behavior.
See you soon,
