A funny (funny-peculiar, not funny-haha) moment last night: we were a group of three - Skip, me and our agent - at Milla's delicious show. A newish acquaintance came up to us on line; he was there alone and asked if he could join us at our table. We said sure, kept the checks separate but had a lovely time.
After the show, the three of us who had come there together got up to leave, and the person who had joined us said something about feeling like we were deserting him. I found that odd, he had just joined our party once we were there, had come alone. I wasn't sure what consideration we were supposed to give him, and I said VERY good-naturedly that we had to get back to walk the dogs, and reminded him that he had come without us to begin with. It's not like we had plans together.
The fellow seemed to see my point quickly, but was i being inconsiderate? Once he had joined our table on the spur of the moment, should we have considered what he wanted to do in deciding when it was time to leave?
Where's Emily Post when you need her?
