Don't You Just Hate That? 2nd Edition: 947 of Life's Little Annoyances Paperback – September 29, 2020

A great 2nd addition. We loved the first one and had pre-ordered this one. Typically at a random time one of us will pick it up and tell the other one to pick a number. Then laugh our assess off. Scott nails it each and every time. Apparently getting married and having 2 kids since the first book has kept his wit intact.

I really liked reading these in short bursts. There was so much that was relatable. Let's face it. There is so much that we deal with as people that is laughable and I like that this book doesn't take itself too seriously. We can either add a touch of humor to what we can, or become cynical and become disillusioned. There wasn't much to this book, however I found it to be a decent read. Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley.

Every time someone picks it up, it always starts conversation about one of the topics in the book… It’s great!!

This is a cute little book about things that annoy the average person. Overall, this isn’t a bad idea for a book. It’s a bit repetitive, in my opinion. A lot of things in here are very specific to an average person. Written by a straight, cis/het, white man, many things in here can seem petty and not worth mentioning.In addition to the 947 things mentioned, it has interludes with very specific “I hate that” moments from different professionals (a voice actor, a female bartender, etc.). Personally, I find these a bit more relatable than the other 947 things the original author state. Still, things like that would annoy a casting director, for example, don’t really affect 99% of the rest of us, so even these can be a bit out there.Still, this is a cute little book. It’s not meant to be read cover-to-cover, but is something to sit down to flip through when you have 5 minutes to spare. I can still recommend it to the right audience, so long as you know where it’s coming from.

This book is quite validating for me. I often get annoyed with dumb stuff and it sometimes makes me feel like I'm crazy. After reading some of this book, I now realize that I might be more normal than I thought. I find myself nodding and laughing at almost every page in this book.My wife says this book should be a part of my biography...she's a hater.If you also get annoyed by seemingly dumb stuff on a regular basis, you should check this book out. You might not feel crazy anymore!

I’m not as excited about this one as I had hoped to be. It sounded like a funny premise and while some of the entries did make me chuckle a bit, overall I didn’t think it was that hilarious. There are some relatable things in it and some that aren’t, which is fine also. And while I don’t disagree that those things are life”: annoyances, it just wasn’t that entertaining for me to read.

I got this little book as a gift for a friend who I know will appreciate it. But whenever I get a chance, I find myself reading it, gingerly turning the pages so as not to make it look used before giving it away. It's a fun read, and the yellow pages are top lists made by "professionals" rather than the author, such as baristas and stand up comedians. It's Seinfeldian and a lot of fun. I'm going to need the 1st edition.

It's painful to try and read this book, it was either written by kids or someone who doesn't speak English- those are the only explanations I can think of because the things in this are just STRANGE and not really funny. One of the annoying things it mentions is a 6 year old and a 5 year old kid of theirs kicking each other (Very specific, not relatable for most of us) In fact- most of the "annoying" things in this book are specific to the author of the book and the whole book isn't relateable. It's truly terrible and I don't know whether to throw it away or donate it because the thought of some poor soul spending money on it and then reading the junk makes me sad. I'll probably just toss it in the trash.
