I disagree with the two I got wrong here - napkin on your chair is gross, you've potentially been using it to wipe your mouth, and may do so again. Unless you have specifically signalled them, or there are other people at the table to do so, waiting staff should not start clearing you're table while you're not there. The other one, the 'white tie', isn't so much wrong as just archaic. And specifically American, it seems, I had never heard of it.
100% agree. I've never seen a napkin placed on a chair, ever.
Load More Replies...I went to my pharmacy bringing back my old medicine (antibiotics, cough medicine,...) to get safely rid of it and they suggested I should just flush it down the toilet. I refused with "Why should I add antibiotics to the water cycle?! It's just hard to filter out." and they took it back but a bit grumpily. (🇩🇪) Just insist.
Ar my pharmacy they have special bins for it that you can't get things out of once deposited.
Load More Replies...Too much American terminology. I largely grasped what was being asked, but we used different terms for things, such as Lasting Power of Attorney, which allows you to act on behalf of someone up until their d***h, as which point the Will takes over. And the reason the man walks on the outside was originally to protect the lady from horses, other traffic came later.
