Interrupting a conversation in progress is, of course, rude. When the restaurant leaves diners to fend for themselves, fellow guests are often the best source of information: Excuse me. We have reservations. Are you waiting to check in? Do you know if we have to? Miss Manners finds this to be effective both in determining the best course of action and, occasionally, in embarrassing the restaurant into improving its signage.
But then, if you fight so conspicuously that you have to leave, the restaurant may be relieved not to serve you.
Building a friendship with a colleague can be challenging if one party excessively shares personal details and interrogates the other. Set boundaries firmly but kindly to avoid conflicts in confidential issues.
