And you and I

Emily Post

Sometimes I wonder why we continue to follow the rules of decency and etiquette even when we are solitary. Like, why do I feel the need to wrap a towel around myself after bathing? Why do I bother matching my clothes? Why did I used to refuse to urinate in the shower? Why, when it would be so much easier to pick up and eat with my hands, am I sitting here trying to eat this piece of fish with a pair of chopsticks?

You're weird. I pee in the shower every single day.

As for dropping the kids off...

Your attitudes toward etiquette and propriety mimic the customs of the giants of Brobdingnac.
Why is it that such behaviors are considered improper and who was it that decided such? It is intriguing, to say the least, to think that civilizations differ so much on what is and is not considered polite.
