In this revised, updated, and expanded version of the bestselling How to Be a Gentleman, Bridges addresses new issues such as airport security, Bluetooth and BlackBerry usage, and appropriate internet and instant message communication. Still featured are topics ranging from how to receive a compliment to how to act at funerals. Certain to be the must-have guide for the modern gentleman, this revised edition will echo the success of its predecessor.

A GENTLEMAN AND HIS CELL PHONE

Although cell phones have become ubiquitous in the modern world, a gentleman does his best to use his cell phone in the most unobtrusive manner possible. He knows that, while many may consider a cell phone to be a necessity, there is no reason he should be obnoxious when using one. In fact,cell phones, and even wireless headsets, have become so common that no one is likely to be impressed by the fact that a gentleman owns one. He need not flaunt his newest gadgets, no matter how expensive or cutting-edge they may be, in hopes of impressing others with his social or professional status. A gentleman who seeks to shore up his self-image by the use of gadgetry, especially among strangers, is a very needy gentleman indeed. 


A GENTLEMAN GOES TO DINNER

If a gentleman wishes to eat the garnish on his dinner plate, he does so.
After business hours, a gentleman turns his cell phone to the vibrate mode as soon as he is seated at his table at a restaurant. He does not check his text
messages, much less send text messages, while seated at the table.

A gentleman follows the same protocol when dining in a private home-even if it is his own home, and especially if he is serving as host.
 
A gentleman leaves a tip in a restaurant or a bar-including coffee bars-but he is under no constraint to do so at a fast-food establishment. To
recognize good service, he leaves at least 15 percent of his total bill. Excellent, attentive service justifies a tip of 20 percent or more. If the service
has been minimally acceptable, however, a gentleman may leave only 10 percent. If he is so dissatisfied that he feels the urge to leave less, he
leaves nothing and explains his actions to the manager. Angrily leaving a dime or a quarter demonstrates that the customer and the server are
equally illmannered.
 

When determining his tip, a gentleman must decide for himself whether he wishes to tip on the final total of his bill or on the pretax total, which
includes only the cost of his food and drink. Although he may sometimes find it difficult to separate the tax from his total bill, a gentleman feels no
necessity to tip on the percentage of his tab that is headed for the government coffers. He may simply find it more convenient to tip on the total bill,
but that decision is his, and his alone. He need not explain it to his server or to his fellow diners.
