Description

Gentle Readers worldwide enjoy the wit and mirth of Miss Manners. There is no kinder parry and riposte to the requests for a ruling of another’s wrongdoing, breach of etiquette, or a justification of one’s actions.

[Miss Manners] gently suggests that people making up their own rules and deciding which courtesies they want to observe, and which they don’t, is exactly the problem that has been identified as incivility and lack of consideration.
