I've been trying to think of even one example of this since I first saw this post, and can't - but maybe that's just my experience.
I
do think that, when 60- and 70-year-old alumnae come to visit, and the elevator's broken, which means they have to walk up 20 flights of 15 stairs each, smart actives would at the very least offer them a seat and a cold drink. I
have unfortunately, seen these elder alumnae panting and not offered a thing. Now, that gets my dander up!
GP's suggestion is good - when all else fails, ask questions. We had celebrities both visit & live in our house, which made for some interesting conversation!
