JERK ON THE CELL PHONE BOOK

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A BOOK ON CELL PHONE ETIQUETTE. THIS IS IT! FUNNY & TO THE POINT. I WILL PURCHASE MORE FOR ALL MY NIECES & NEPHEWS BEFORE THEY DEVELOP "BAD HABITS"!

Best Book on Cell Phone Jerks Ever written!!

This book is the best book Ihave ever read on the subject of cellphone jerks. i could not put it down, it was that realistic about cell phone jerks. the book is part serious and part hilarious, it strikes just the right balance, in my opinion. It covers most of the situations where you will encounter these rude people and it also gives helpful hints on how to deal with them without being confrontational.I had just lost a beloved pet when i checked the mail to find this delightful book. It uplifted my mood immediately. If people who abuse cellphones constantly aggravate you, you need this survival guide! I heartily recommend it.

Humorous , but also enlightening!

As one of, it seems, the few people about me without a cell phone I really enjoyed this book. Written more as a 'commentary', and by a user and devotee of cellphones! The common irritant of so many people yelling into their phone is explained: they can't find their own volume control, and assume because they can't hear, they can't be heard! Very, very valid comments all through; I imagine too true for some!

A Must Read For All Cell Users

I'm a big Roz Chast (New Yorker) fan so the cover was a big selling point for me. I was going to give this book to my girlfriend for Xmas, she's the worst...we'll be having dinner and she'll talk on her phone to other people! I ended up reading it and I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if I would have the guts to give a stranger one of the cards, but I'm going to use them on my friend next chance I get. The stories are hilarious--there's even one in a coffin.

Brilliant advice in handling a touchy situation.

Not just a string of jokes about how rude people can be on their cell phones. Yes, there are plenty of real-life stories that we can all relate to, but this book also humorously takes an issue that is increasingly common and gives The Rest of Us a plan of action. (By the way. You don't have to hate cell phones to love this book. In fact, I consider the cell phone a necessity of life.) Three things can happen when you read this book: 1.You use the tips to politely stop the cell phone jerks in their tracks. (80 percent of the time.) 2.You use the tips and it does absolutely no good. (20 percent of the time.) 3.You find out you're a cell phone jerk and you stop acting that way. That last one will get you. Everyone at some point has exhibited less than polite behavior while using the cell phone. If you can stop yourself, that's half the battle!
