In WOULD IT KILL YOU TO STOP DOING THAT he interviews experts both likely (Miss Manners, Tim Gunn) and unlikely (a former prisoner, an army sergeant). He volunteers himself as a tour guide for foreigners visiting New York City, and as an online etiquette coach for his friends. He travels to Japan. He teaches Miss Manners how to steal a cab. He designates the World's Most Annoying Bride.
Providing 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?', this hilarious and non-elitist book looks past the standard ''dos'' and ''don't's'' of good form, in search of ways we can treat each other better.
