Synopsis: &“Rule no. 1: Buy this book, laugh out loud, become a better person.&” —Jason Alexander 488 Rules for Life is not a self-help book, because it&’s not you who needs help—it&’s other people. Whether they&’re walking and texting, asphyxiating you on public transport with their noxious perfume cloud, or leaving one useless square of toilet paper on the roll, people just don&’t know the rules. But now, thanks to Australian comedian Kitty Flanagan&’s comprehensive guide to modern behavior, our world will soon be a much better place. A place where people don&’t ruin the fruit salad by putting banana in it . . . where your co-workers refrain from reheating their fish curry in the office microwave . . . where middle-aged men don&’t have ponytails. What started as a joke on Kitty Flanagan&’s popular segment on ABC-TV&’s The Weekly is now a quintessential reference book with the power to change society. (Or, at least, make it a bit less irritating.)
