Do you think the world is going to shit? And that manners are being thrown out the window? And that common sense and common courtesy are becoming uncommon? And that you are now dealing with idiots that bit too often?
You are not alone.
We are all collectively treating each other worse than ever before. We talk to each other like dickheads. We drive like wankers. We leave piss on the toilet seat. We shake hands as if they've turned into floppy fish. We treat money as the be-all and end-all.
Yann thinks this is down to us slowly losing touch with our own humanity. In other words, we care more about ourselves than the person next to us.
Sure, capitalism and technology are partly to blame.
But at the end of the day, if we don't start treating each other a little better, we're all truly fucked. There's no way in hell we'll be able to work together long enough to resolve the catastrophic problems coming our way.
To that end, 127 Reasons Why You Are An Idiot is chock full of 127 hilarious, sweary, sarcastic, hard-hitting rants about everyday things that everyday idiots do, with quasi-serious, tongue-in-cheek exercises to help idiots be less idiotic.
Rants include:
- Queue cutting
- Cancel culture
- Buying rounds
- Splitting the bill
- Holding the door open
- Ignoring reserved seating
- Treating pets as humans
- Tailgating
- Reclining plane seats
- Taking the mick
- Conspiracy theorists
& many more!
No one is innocent of being an idiot, including you. It is impossible to read this book and not realise at least one or two ways you've started to not give a shit about your fellow human.
Yann hopes that, instead of being a little bitch about it, you'll use all the reality checks you'll receive to become a better person who is more aware of how their actions affect others.
Entertainment: Guaranteed
Fucks Given: Zero
