- 0:20Speaker 1: Are you a polite person? I hope you are. I
- 0:22Speaker 1: think most of our listeners are. But maybe you're polite,
- 0:26Speaker 1: but you're not polite. Like you think you're being polite,
- 0:29Speaker 1: but you're not being polite. And here's where we're going,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and involves Thanksgiving.
- 0:33Speaker 2: It involves Thanksgiving things that we may be doing which
- 0:36Speaker 2: we think, oh this is cool, but the host may
- 0:39Speaker 2: find rude.
- 0:41Speaker 3: And I've done one of these, by the way, have
- 0:42Speaker 3: you you're gonna mention it all right?
- 0:44Speaker 2: One of them is you're invited to a Thanksgiving dinner, right,
- 0:46Speaker 2: you're the guest, you're not the host, and you bring
- 0:50Speaker 2: over some large leftover containers, you know, empties.
- 0:54Speaker 3: I did that one time.
- 0:55Speaker 2: You did?
- 0:55Speaker 1: Yeah, well they weren't large containers. Okay, But I've been
- 0:58Speaker 1: going to this house many many years, and they were
- 1:00Speaker 1: like family to me, and they always talk about, hey,
- 1:03Speaker 1: take some food home, and they would always give me stuff. Right,
- 1:06Speaker 1: I thought I'd be proactive and bring my own stuff,
- 1:09Speaker 1: my own tumperware.
- 1:10Speaker 2: See then, But it sounds like it's cool in your
- 1:13Speaker 2: situation because you always brought stuff home.
- 1:15Speaker 3: But if you're a first time or somewhere, or if.
- 1:17Speaker 2: You don't have the understanding in advance, like because maybe
- 1:20Speaker 2: they need the leftovers for their family. True, which tends
- 1:23Speaker 2: to happen to me when I go to my sister
- 1:25Speaker 2: in law. She makes such great food, but I understand
- 1:27Speaker 2: she's got to feed people, so she will give me
- 1:31Speaker 2: a little bit. But I don't go walking in with
- 1:33Speaker 2: containers like expecting then I'm going to walk away with
- 1:36Speaker 2: a ton of leftovers. It's not cool if you provide
- 1:40Speaker 2: your expertise on how to cook and prepare the food.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Right, is not going to like that.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Just enjoy the fact that you've been invited over. Be quiet,
- 1:51Speaker 1: sit on the couch, have a drink, and let the
- 1:53Speaker 1: meal be starved.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Right, bringing ingredients for a dish that the host has
- 1:57Speaker 2: to put together like they may not have time or
- 2:00Speaker 2: the space in the oven to now add in another
- 2:03Speaker 2: dish that they've actually got to work on there. They
- 2:05Speaker 2: kind of have timed everything out, asking if you can
- 2:08Speaker 2: help repeatedly. So, yeah, it's polite to one time say hey,
- 2:13Speaker 2: can I help with anything? And if they say no, no,
- 2:16Speaker 2: I've got it, just leave it alone.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Well maybe twice, not once. I would. I would probably
- 2:21Speaker 3: say it twice to go confirm, go in twice. Yeah,
- 2:23Speaker 3: but going about it.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Don't be annoying about it. Yeah, offering to cook when
- 2:27Speaker 2: you can't, like your skills are limits it I've done that.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I really can't do a damn thing.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Please say no, right, and then suggesting to change the
- 2:38Speaker 2: place settings. The host has decided where guests would sit.
- 2:42Speaker 2: And even if you think you just want to keep
- 2:44Speaker 2: the peace, you know you're next to an uncle who
- 2:46Speaker 2: has something to say.
- 2:47Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.
- 2:48Speaker 2: It's really not your gig, it's not your job. Let
- 2:51Speaker 2: the host make all these calls.
