Tough Talk: November 18, 2024

Tough Talk,

We just had a wonderful dinner party with several couples.  Shortly thereafter, we received a very nice gift, but the address label was torn off.  I’m not sure how to thank everyone and not offend the couples who didn’t send anything – not even a thank you note.  How should I handle this TT? (Cushing, Washington,)

Kush,

Send a thank you message to everyone and tell people who didn’t send anything that they should be ashamed of themselves in a very snide and condescending manner.  Don’t worry about hurt feelings.
