    How the do we get to these perverted social norms? How stunted does a person’s logic have to be to forget that business cards are, and have always been, a standard way to quickly exchange information in an easily retained form? Shouldn’t they only warrant the same cultural etiquette as any exchange of personal information?

    If a person asked …
    If a person asked me for a second businesscard, I would be happy. It means the card means enough to them that they would openly admit that they have misplaced it.

    There is no shame in asking for a new one. It shows appreciation. I totally disagree with Syndie on that one.
