The article discusses a viral TikTok video by influencer Bronte Rose, who advocates for introducing oneself at the beginning of phone calls. Highlighting a growing trend of convenience over etiquette, the video sparked debates on whether such introductions are necessary. Rose argues that it is common courtesy and beneficial for clarity, even if many others may not practice it. The conversation reflects broader concerns about declining social skills and the discomfort some feel during direct communication.
"When I am calling a restaurant or anywhere, I say, 'Hi, my name is Bronte. I'm just wondering if you have a table for two tonight?'"
