F*** You Very Much: The surprising truth about why people are so rude by Danny Wallace
3.0
3.5
This was a really interesting book to read. I now know why my brain refuses to tune out of phone calls on speakerphone despite doing my best attempt to ignore the sound. It talks about a lot of fascinating experiments around the subject matter. I didn't know about a lot of them so it was eye opening. I mean, the fact that your surgeon could be effected by the rudeness of a stranger is scary. It made think about those times that we had stuff going on and might have come across as rude to others without meaning to do so. Or we know that person who has a habit of taking their bad mood onto people who never deserve it. I mean, just go into a shop and stand by the tills. You will see a lot of horrible human behaviour. It's like the old saying "We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions", which is very true for a lot of people including myself. I do wish there were more chapters about rudeness on the internet as that is becoming a huge problem. So I would've loved to see if there were more research in that area. But I enjoyed the book neverless and I would reccomend it.
