In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to someone who was bothered by rudeness during a 9/11 service.
I was on an Alaskan cruise in September. On September 11 the ship made an announcement at about noon that we would have a minute of silence to commemorate 9/11.Within a few seconds there was dead silence among the hundreds of people there, many of which were probably not Americans.I was tempted to walk over with an image of the World Trade Center on my phone to explain what was going on without speaking.
However, I did not do anything but reverently bow my head as the minute passed. They continued to talk during the whole observance.If I was visiting a country where I did not know the language and everyone was suddenly silent I would have followed the crowd and been silent myself.If you are traveling in a country where you don’t speak or understand the language, announcements can sound like white noise.
And if you are with other excited people and deeply engaged in conversation, you might not notice that others have fallen silent. I don’t think it was necessary for you to flash a photo of this tragedy in order to drive your point home, but approaching the table, making eye contact, and making the universal symbols for “quiet” and “praying” might have alerted the group for the need to pay respect.or send a letter to Ask Amy, P.O.
