From the Publisher

If you're wondering which fork to use, this is not the book for you. How to Behave is designed for people in real-life situations, not Victorian make-believe. It offers witty, unpretentious answers to the questions we all ask: How do I deal with loud eaters and wrapper crinklers? How do you cope with a cheapskate date? Is it polite to not offer suntan lotion to friend? How do I deal with an impostor in the supermarket express lane? At the gym, what do you say to someone who hogs the treadmill? Sensible advice for anybody who has ever suffered from cell phone rage.
