" Amusing, if very US centric, accounts of things that piss you off, and a few ways to get your own back. "

" I really was prepared to love this book, and there were parts that I did get a kick out of. But I've worked as a clerk and a telemarketer back in the day, and I've been behind a direct mail campaign--and too many of the anecdotes were sticking it to the people who really didn't have the power to change any given annoying policy. After a while (and I did sit down and read the whole thing in one gulp which may be part of the problem), I started cringing. "

" Some of these anecdotes made me chuckle, but a lot of them left a really bad taste in my mouth. I think the world might be a better place if people channeled their passive-aggressive energies into doing something that really mattered. "

" This book is an advertisement for passive aggressive behavior. Some of the stories were very funny, but some were punishing the people who really had no control over the situation. Some of the annoyed people were brilliant, some just needed to get a life. Mildly amusing, though. "

" Fun to read about how other people deal with "annoyances", many used the things I've done to "fix" those problems, but most in this book go further than me. I wished there had been longer pauses or ringing bells, or something between the segments instead of just jumping into the next. "
