METERYou must not let the weather on the dining room table. No one needs to feel beaten, but it was something that began to be noted in etiquette books during the Middle Ages. In the past it was considered dangerous to hold back, then the dog was blamed, and today it is rude to even write the word. (Those who read this should know that I failed to persuade my editor-in-chief to write the most common word for climate stress. We abstain for etiquette reasons, she says).
From time to time during The crisis of the crown, I have found myself wondering what Magdalena Ribbing would have thought of all this, if she had been with us a while longer. Society etiquette changes, sometimes rapidly. Telling people that they are too close until recently was considered unpleasant, but today the roles have changed. Nowadays, anyone who takes a puff on someone’s neck is stomping on them, sometimes without thinking, because people have been doing it. Reaching out for a hug, or a world-famous kiss on the cheek, was seen until March as a gesture of warmth in many fields, but today it is almost offensive in its covidity. Coughing in public has gained the same status as loosening up at the dining room table. What is that person doing among the people? Keep the air in your body at all costs or stay home. You can cough when you are alone.
