The Rudest Question You've Definitely Asked This Week

It's the time of the year when you have to rub up against other people in all kinds of ways. And so obviously Jessie, Holly and Em needed to bring an updated etiquette guide. So, what's a great question, what's a rude one and do you always, always need to give a gift receipt?

And, are you struggling to make a big decision about the new year? Of course you are. We have a new framework to help: Is this a Hat, Haircut or Tattoo problem?

Plus, a dilemma for the ages: Is a straight man cheating if he continually 'likes' another woman’s Instagram posts? Thankfully, a court has cleared this up.

And of course, recommendations: Something to make life easier, something to make yourself smell lovely and something to make the Gen Xers feel smug.

Support independent women's media

Em recommends the Ouai hair and body mist in the scent St Barts

Jessie recommends the Dinner Ladies Christmas dishes

Holly recommends the essay in the New York Times, Is Gen X Actually the Greatest Generation? and creating a lucky dip of loved Christmas movies using an empty jar.
