Miss Conduct

A feature of the Globe Magazine

Life is full of misunderstandings, missteps, and awkward encounters: You sent a gift to someone, but the recipient never said thank you. Wracked by angst over whether your friend received the gift, you debate whether to ask and risk making your friend appear ungrateful. Or perhaps you don't want to evenly split a restaurant tab if you've had only a salad. Should you pay less and look like a cheapskate?

Miss Conduct is here to help. Just fill out the simple form below and describe your quandary succinctly. Your question and Miss Conduct's answer may appear in a future issue of the Globe Magazine.
