How to Behave: A Guide to Modern Manners for the Socially Challenged

How to Behave: A Guide to Modern Manners for the Socially Challenged

by Caroline Tiger (Author)

Synopsis

Do plastic bag shufflings in a movie theater drive you crazy? Do you wonder whether it's proper to pass a roller blader on the right or left? Have you or has someone you know ever been subjected to "rain rage"? Have you ever pondered why no one in your local grocery store seems to understand the rules of basic shopping cart navigation and right-of-way? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, How to Behave is the book you've been waiting for: a hip, irreverent, but entirely practical manual that tells you all you need to know about day-to-day survival in every venue. You'll learn how to share elbow space on an airplane armrest, how to confront a noisy filmgoer, and the proper way to position yourself when boarding a crowded elevator. Much more than a simple etiquette book, How to Behave is a real-life guide to living in the real world.
