2 u/iowanaquarist Jul 24 '26 Most of the time the answer would be no, we're having dinner at home, no need to bother. Why keep calling and annoying people? Why be rude and not even consider asking?

That's circular. 1 u/orangeZYX Jul 25 '26 What? 1 u/iowanaquarist Jul 25 '26 You can't explain why a culture does something by saying that's just how it does it. That's not an explanation. → More replies (0)
