I was trying to give my regrets, and she said, “That’s not good enough.”
: My long-distance niece, whom I only see every few years, hung up on me when I called to give my regrets that I could not make it to her wedding.I explained that we had a prepaid, nonrefundable vacation planned, and that we would like to make it up to her by taking the newlyweds out to dinner the next time we traveled there.GENTLE READER
Miss Manners applauds your effort to apologize, noting only that you would have provided less fuel had you been less specific about your planned compensation.: When my husband passed away and I moved to a condo with my two dogs, I hired a cleaning person to clean every three weeks. Fast-forward three years. Now she has a baby strapped to her back while she cleans, and usually brings a helper. She’s done in an hour or so. The service is now pretty haphazard, and she clearly does not instruct her helper properly about my preferences. It takes me a while to put everything back where it belongs when they are finished, including furniture!Harriette Cole: I finally told my parents I’ll be leaving the U.S.
