@kiki_astor: What would you say in this situation? Traditional etiquette says that you could respond in a way that changes the subject, if it makes you uncomfortable, and without accusing the other person of anything… The goal is to keep the peace. But sometimes, traditional etiquette is not enough. This should nip any negative behavior in the bud or at least give you peace. #S#SocialSkillsE#EtiquetteTipsE#EtiquetteAdviceE#EtiquetteM#MannersE#EleganceCoachO#OldMoneyLifestyleC#CocktailPartyP#PopPsychologySocialAnthropology.

Auntie Kiki, I know that fashion changes throughout the years so I need to ask: Are Birkenstocks with socks ever appropriate at school, or any other occasion for the matter?? 😂😂 I don’t know what to

Would have pushed them into an uncanny valley of ohh, really darling? I’m dying to know the details! Slowly making them derealize themselves.

Yes, this method works for me every time. Married to a politician so I live with it. Mean people who just want to make you feel bad.

‘Oh? Good for them i suppose.’ W/ a generally flat & disinterested affect then moving on is my go to. Can stop & slightly confuse some of the real gossipy malicious types 😂

I answer with a big smile and “I’ve been hated by better people.” Big shrug and carry on.

I say “oh. Ok.” with such disinterest, I think it usually makes them feel silly.
