Dear Eric: I have to speak up about “Left Unanswered’s” letter. The letter was about a 50-year-old who was frustrated that a 70-year-old friend didn’t pick up the phone when called. You advised that the younger friend accept this habit and work around it.
I live in the Midwest and people here are so polite and shy of anything that might be a confrontation. That includes not wanting to help people through tactful honesty.
If you saw somebody with toilet paper sticking out of their waistband, wouldn’t you say something?…
