The term 'foisty' originated from an unknown source, and some people still use knives to transfer meat from serving plates to their own.
The design of knives with rounded points became popular during the court of Louis 14th due to fears of assassination. However, an interesting side note is that people used to use knives to stamp and transfer meat from serving plates to their own plates, which is now considered bad manners. The origin of the term "foisty" is still unknown, and Jordan once reviewed people's Christmas decorations on social media under the hashtag #pickytree. A listener, Daniel, recently discovered the Howdy podcast and is currently catching up on all episodes. In his letter, he mentioned that his girlfriend's coworker attempted to flirt with her despite knowing she was in a relationship.

Electrical fire in laundry cupboard: A faulty timer caused an electrical fire. React quickly, know fire extinguisher types, and have working smoke detectors.
Electrical fires can be dangerous and unpredictable. The speaker experienced an electrical fire in their laundry cupboard, which they discovered while investigating an odd popping noise. The fire was serious, and the speaker and their roommates, Lucas and Daryl, reacted quickly. Lucas turned off the electricity and attempted to put out the fire with kitchen flour, but the wrong type was used and the fire worsened. The fire brigade arrived and saved the day, but if they had been even a few minutes later, the entire floor could have been engulfed in flames. The cause of the fire was a faulty timer on the heating system, which had been badly wired from the start. The incident highlights the importance of having working smoke detectors and knowing how to respond to a fire emergency. It also underscores the potential risks of using the wrong type of fire extinguisher.
Handling Unsolicited Parenting Advice: Gracefully receive unsolicited advice, consider it, but don't feel obligated to act on it. Partner can intervene if needed.
Unsolicited advice can be a common issue in various aspects of life, whether it's about telling a story, raising a child, or even tumble drying clothes. In the case of Katie's letter, she was seeking advice on how to handle her mother-in-law's unsolicited parenting advice during her pregnancy. The speaker suggested taking the advice on board but not acting on it, or having her partner intervene if necessary. The speaker also shared his own experience of dealing with unsolicited advice and joked about it. The discussion highlights the importance of handling unsolicited advice with grace and discretion, and not causing unnecessary conflict. It's a reminder that people often give advice without being asked, and it's up to us to decide how to receive and respond to it.
Politeness and respect in social media interactions: Maintain strong friendships by being polite and respectful, even when interacting with repetitive content on social media.
Even though people may have different preferences when it comes to social media platforms, it's important to be polite and respectful when interacting with others. Laura and her friend, Tee, both enjoy scrolling through social media, but they have different platforms of choice – TikTok for Laura and Instagram reels for Tee. Despite having seen many of the same videos, Laura feels caught in a dilemma about telling Tee that she's already seen the content. The etiquette of responding to old videos or jokes with laughter emojis, even if you've seen them before, is a common practice to keep the conversation going and make the other person feel appreciated. This tradition can be compared to the way our grandparents used to share cartoons or jokes with us, expecting us to react positively even if we've heard them before. By being polite and respectful, we can maintain strong friendships and keep the conversation flowing, even when dealing with repetitive content.
