Question from Audrey:
I started getting my hair cut at a new place a few months ago. The guy at the front desk who makes the appointments, takes the payment, etc, is very friendly and we always chat, but I never asked his name. I’ve been there 4 times now and I don’t know his name. How do I ask what his name is the next time I’m there without it seeming awkward, since I’ve been there so many times already?

?I have a question about airplane etiquette.

Question from Kate:
I am in the supermarket, idling around the onions. I see an acquaintance, or someone from work with whom I would normally exchange pleasantries and move on. We do indeed exchange a few words and go our separate ways, in opposite directions. However, in the next aisle we are coming towards each other again. I know from our speed and direction that we will continue to cross over in each subsequent aisle. What shall I do?
