Synopsis
A celebration of the endless variety of passive aggressive behavior, this book will provide comfort and inspiration to everyone who has ever gritted his teeth and dreamed of sweet retribution against the stubborn irritants of modern life., What can you do when the world is pushing you over the edge? More than you think. For some of us, it's the automated voice that answers the phone when we'd rather talk to a real person. For others, it's the fact that Starbucks insists on calling its smallest-sized coffee "tall." Or perhaps it's those pesky subscription cards that fall out of magazines. Whatever it is, each of us finds some aspect of everyday life to be particularly maddening, and we often long to lash out at these stubborn irritants of modern life. In "Life's Little Annoyances", Ian Urbina chronicles the lengths to which some people will go when they have endured their pet peeves long enough and are not going to take it any more. It is a compendium of human inventiveness, by turns juvenile and petty, but in other ways inspired and deeply satisfying. We meet the junk-mail recipient who sends back unwanted "business reply" envelopes weighted down with sheet metal, so the mailers will have to pay the postage. We commiserate with the woman who was fed up with the colleague who kept helping himself to her lunch cookies, so she replaced them with dog biscuits that looked like biscotti. And we revel in the seemingly endless number of tactics people use to vent their anger at telemarketers, loud cellphone talkers, spammers, and others who impose themselves on us. A celebration of the endless variety of passive aggressive behavior, "Life's Little Annoyances" will provide comfort and inspiration to everyone who has ever gritted his teeth and dreamed of sweet retribution against the slings and arrows of outrageous people., What can you do when the world is pushing you over the edge?

His favorite childhood prank is serving him well in dealing with annoying people. Whenever someone parks in a space reserved for the disabled, he leaves a note on the windshield that says, "I'm so sorry I hit your car. It doesn't look like the damage was severe." Then he signs a name but he makes it just messy enough to be illegible. "It works best if the person owns a fancy car," says the thirty-one-year-old student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. "The driver scrambles around trying to find the damage, and then they're also faced with the decision of whether to call and report it to the police even though they are parked in an illegal space." And if he is feeling particularly perverse, Myers adds a phone number to the note. "The best is to use a phone number for a group that advocates on behalf of the disabled," he says. Book jacket.
