The article addresses two common dining etiquette questions. The first concerns a situation where a friend orders desserts for the table without consulting others, putting pressure on those who may not want to participate. The advice suggests clearly declining dessert upfront to avoid awkwardness. The second question involves the challenge of placing small evening clutches during a meal—while placing bags on the table is often frowned upon for etiquette reasons, there are practicality issues with keeping them elsewhere. Both queries highlight social norms surrounding dining interactions.
Thank you, but I'm not having dessert today. But you all go ahead.
If I place the clutch in my lap under my napkin, it frequently slides to the floor.
Why the manufacturing industry has not caught on to the fact that women carry small evening clutches is baffling.
