Etiquette and Unsolicited Advice

 

Vintage etiquette advice from Miss Manners in the 1990’s, that still holds true today.

Judith Martin, who writes the syndicated “Miss Manners” column, said: “The first rule of giving advice is you only give it when it's sought. It's rude to go around giving advice to people who haven't asked for it. And it's futile, too, because they won't take it. It's more than a rule of etiquette. It's a rule of practicality.”– Santa Cruz Sentinel, 1992
