Would it kill you to stop doing that? : a modern guide to manners

A few years ago, humorist and journalist Henry Alford found himself 'reverse-apologizing'; offering apologies for other people, on their behalf, when they failed to do so themselves. Ever since, he's realized he needed to take a closer look at manners. Here he interviews experts both likely and unlikely. He provides answers to questions like, 'Why shouldn't you ask a cabdriver where's he's from?', and 'Why is posting baby pictures on Facebook a fraught activity?'.
