The Jerk with the Cell Phone: A Survival Guide for the Rest of Us

Summary: A Must Read For All Cell Users
Review: 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.

Summary: Brilliant advice in handling a touchy situation.
Review: 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!
