Miss Manners: Co-workers suddenly inviting themselves over
Dear Miss Manners: I just moved into a new home, and I wanted to keep that information private at the place where I am temporarily working. I'm not particularly close to anyone there. Several people are nice to me but not to the point of being friends. Well, word got out about my house, and now several people have invited themselves over or hinted as much. None of these people have ever socialized with me, so I find it odd and awkward that they would suddenly invite themselves.

Miss Manners: When ‘you make me sick' is meant as a compliment
Dear Miss Manners: I have skills and interests that are rather unusual in modern times. I enjoy these hobbies immensely, though I make a point of not bringing them up with new acquaintances, since they are not likely to make a two-way conversation flow. When I meet a friend of a friend, however, my interests are invariably a part of the introduction, usually followed by a comment like, 'She's so good at everything, it makes me sick!'
