When did society become so thoughtless? It s a topic that has been simmering for years, and Lynne Truss says it s now reached the boiling point. Taking on the boorish behavior that for some has become a point of pride, Talk to the Hand is a rallying cry for courtesy. Like Eats, Shoots \u0026amp; Leaves, Talk to the Hand is not a stuffy guidebook, and is sure to inspire spirited conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy hasn t your nephew ever thanked you for your carefully selected gift? What makes your contractor think it s fine to snub you in the midst of a major renovation? Why do crowds spawn selfishness? What accounts for the appalling treatment you receive in stores (if you re lucky enough to get a clerk s attention at all)? Most important, what will it take to roll back a culture that applauds those who are disrespectful? In a recent U.S. survey, 79 percent of adults said that lack of courtesy was a serious problem. For anyone who s fed up with the brutality inflicted by modern manners (or lack thereof), Talk to the Hand is a colorful call to arms from the wittiest defender of the civilized world.\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Gotham Books","offers":[{"title":"Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Homean D Bolt the Door | Lynne Truss | Book | 9781592401710 | Used: Very Good | Language \u0026 Writing 1373619","offer_id":48743067320472,"sku":"1373619","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51R06e6h3JL.jpg?v=1773858265","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/talk-to-the-hand-the-utter-bloody-rudeness-of-the-world-today-or-six-good-reasons-to-stay-homean-d-bolt-the-door","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
