If you’re anything like me, COVID wasn’t kind to your social skills. For example, before the pandemi-lovato, I said things like “please”, “thank you”, and “Sorry for existing, can I get a burrito with white rice?” Now, I mute myself to burp, stage-4 manspread – and eat spaghetti with my hands!

Because masks are today’s trash, yesterday’s treasure – and that extra 70% of face can be used to judge identify me – I crafted this handy lil quiz to help us recalibrate for a post-COVID world. You know, one with hugs!

Rest assured, SALLY SKEPTIC, this bad boy has been loosely adapted lol, so loose from the Etiquette School of America – so you can be absolutely certain that you’re getting tips from the experts – and not some slime ball with a platform!

Keep track of your correct answers – and NO peeking. That’s, like, so rude.
