The utter bloody rudeness of everyday life (or six good reasons to stay home and bolt the door) (Used)

Talk to the Hand is not a book about manners or etiquette. It is about the rudeness of the modern world, and the sense of outrage that infects us every day as we discover that other people are — generally speaking — crass, selfish and inconsiderate. In her follow-up to the bestselling Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Lynne Truss examines six areas of modern rudeness — from the disappearance of "please" and "thank you" to call-centre hell and the general erosion of civility — asking why rudeness has become a universal flashpoint. Part rant, part rallying cry for courtesy, it's a witty, carefully researched look at how everyday behaviour has deteriorated.
