It’s painfully easy to spot bad manners. Whether it’s dinner guests fielding phone calls in the middle of a meal with you, pre-occupied parents running you off the sidewalk with their doublewide stroller, or Neandarthals clipping their toenails on the subway, the long-revered wisdom of Emily Post can seem downright prehistoric. So what, exactly, do good manners look like in this day and age? In WOULD IT KILL YOU TO STOP DOING THAT? A Modern Guide to Manners the extremely witty and formidable investigative humorist Henry Alford aims to find out.
