Letter writer contemplates tricking friends into cage-diving with great white sharks.
Now they are saying that if I come visit, they will do something I want, as long as there is a low risk of getting sick, injured or killed. They said no to roller coasters and skydiving.
I have found an option to go cage-diving with great white sharks, no scuba certification required. Would I be in the wrong just to tell them we are going whale-watching, and then, once the shore is out of sight, tell them we are actually going diving with sharks?Miss Manners if it is okay to trick your friends into doing something dangerous? What is wrong with just going out for coffee?She further wonders how your PhD is relevant.
After the meal, I saw that people began to leave. In conversation with the mother-in-law of the expectant mother, I mentioned, “When she starts to open the gifts …” The MIL said that she would not be opening the gifts at the shower; she’d open them at home. She said this was the new thing, although she was not fond of the idea. Of course, I did not say anything.I have never been to a baby shower where this was done. I know it’s common at weddings, but I’ve not seen it at showers.
What Miss Manners does object to is being rude to one’s guests. Just because the purpose of the party is to accumulate inventory does not mean that one has to act as if it is.
