Mineral make-up that’s not tested on animals.

Ugh, yes. My office uses TP that feels like tracing paper, it’s so thin and weird. UGHHHHH.

How is this buried in the grey? DETAILS PLEASE.

Haha yes, Miss Manners is the best. Though really, I think most basic etiquette questions can be answered based off of one question: “Does this thing I want to do actually inconvenience and/or hurt others?”

The proper etiquette on guests is that if you invite someone who is in a relationship, you must also invite their significant other (regardless of whether they have been together for a month or a decade). Significant others are not considered “+1” as they are part of a social unit and should be invited by name on the…

I think the lesson there would be that the bride should have asked her bridesmaid for her budget before putting her on national television where she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t afford it...

Yeah, I never balk at high-price items on registries for this reason, as long as there are a nice range of mid- and low-price options as well.

“If that word ‘marriage’ is really, really that important to you, I can go with it.”

OMG is that what that is? I thought it was some sort of diseased carrot-finger.

Is his chest just really weird?

called a customer “a worthless trophy wife cum dumpster” in front of her kids

Well at least he didn’t spill his coffee! #priorities

I can’t think of any type of commercial I loathe more as a group.

I love the snarkiness of this response, but the “one-year” rule is for wedding gifts, not thank you notes. Proper thank you note etiquette is to send thank you notes as soon as possible after receiving the gift, certainly within a month or two.

Eh, I’ve been to a potluck wedding and it was not good. Trust me, don’t do it. Your guests don’t want to be your caterers (everyone talked about this behind the couple’s back - no one knew what was going on and it was a huge hassle to travel with food). Either host the guest list you can afford to feed, or have a…
