Episode 533 - Leftover Party
Your Awesome Etiquette podcast episode for the week. Plus, your weekly etiquette challenge, the Monday joke, and an etiquette extra throwing a Leftovers Party.
On today’s show, we take your questions on how to handle unsolicited nicknames, when your downstairs neighbor gets a new sound system, and dealing with a friend who sends many, many texts. For community members, we have a bonus question about too much texting. Plus, your weekly challenge, etiquette salute, and postscript segment on the leftover party.
Etiquette Extra - Happy Thanksgiving
A holiday all about giving thanks, showing gratitude, spending time with family and friends, sharing good food, entertaining, visiting and maybe even some football. We love it, and have all the etiquette you need to set the table, turn down the guest room or talk politics without ruining the meal.
Check Out our thanksgiving etiquette resources for everything from how to set the thanksgiving table to avoiding political pitfalls with friends and family.

Weekly Podcast Etiquette Challenge
This week’s challenge is inspired by a recent project we’ve worked on and this week’s Thanksgiving Day holiday. Your challenge is to think of someone who brings out the best in you. It doesn’t matter how you are connected to this person. Once you have them in your mind and why they bring out the best in you (or what that best looks like), write a thank-you note telling them how they inspire you to be your best and what you notice about that impact.
As we kick off this holiday week we want to pause for a moment to appreciate all of you. The holiday gathering energy will likely be ramping up as the week goes on, and for now we want to take a deep breath and remember how lucky we are to spend a bit of each week with all of you. Thank you for your attention and care. You keep us going and help to make the world a kinder place.
See you Wednesday for a special holiday post.
All the best,
Lizzie and Dan
Happy Monday Joke
