Is there a way we can ask to use the equipment while they finish conversations elsewhere?

Miss Manners, in her advice column published on May 13, 2025, in The Dallas Morning News, addresses various etiquette concerns submitted by readers. She advises a person troubled by a friend's constant bragging about their children to subtly shift the conversation to more general topics or express genuine interest in other aspects of their friend's life. Another reader seeks guidance on handling a noisy neighbor; Miss Manners suggests a polite conversation about the noise, possibly offering a compromise like using headphones. Lastly, she responds to a query about wedding invitations, recommending that the couple should only invite those they genuinely wish to celebrate with, and to consider the feelings of those not invited by not discussing the event openly on social media. Throughout her responses, Miss Manners emphasizes the importance of tact, respect, and clear communication in maintaining harmonious relationships.
