Mrs. Manners: I’m sorry my husband accepted inappropriate gifts from a co-worker.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: A woman my husband works with bought him five work shirts. (This is something that happens to my coworker very often.) I told him that I thought this was inappropriate and that he should return these.

But he liked the shirts and decided to wear them instead of returning them. He even went and bought another one on his own, and it turned out they cost over $100 each.

There’s a lot of context here, but I don’t think it’s necessary to share it all.

kind reader: There is no doubt. You can ask your husband what he would think about a male co-worker buying you expensive jewelry.
