ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Darcy and it's about etiquette. Here's her email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I recently took myself out to lunch during a break from work. I do this often, as I enjoy my own company. Yesterday though, when I was getting ready to leave the restaurant, I was saying a friendly goodbye to the hostess when she stopped me and told me I had food in my teeth. I was humiliated and embarrassed. I immediately went to the ladies' room and took care of the food, but I couldn't believe that a stranger would say something to me like that. A good friend or family member, absolutely, but a stranger?!?!? That seemed so wrong to me. When I told a friend who I work with about it, she said I should be glad the person told me, stranger or not. I disagree. I think it was way overstepping. What do you think? Thanks so much.DarcyWell, I'm with Darcy's coworker on this one...
