Episode 489 - Hold the Door

On today’s show, we take your questions on teaching kids manners in public, handling homemade gifts, hosting gifts for team dinners, and getting a gift but not being able to return the favor. For Awesome Etiquette Community Members, our question is about strangers sleeping on you on the plane. Plus, your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript on the practice and meaning of holding doors.
