Better to Be Pissed Off Than Pissed On: A Collection of Rants, Truths, and Other Inconvenient Realities

Modern life somehow turned every simple task into a supervised activity.

Better to Be Pissed Off Than Pissed On is a sharp, funny collection of observational essays about the everyday nonsense people are expected to tolerate politely.

Self-checkout machines that still require an employee. Delivery updates that say everything except where the package is. Customer service responses that apologize without fixing anything. Workplace buzzwords. Password resets. Public stupidity. Bureaucratic nonsense. Social media behavior. All the little moments that make a person look around and think, “I know I’m not the only one seeing this.”

This is not a self-help book. There are no breathing exercises, productivity hacks, or lessons about gratitude.

It’s a humor book about modern life, broken systems, ridiculous expectations, and the quiet suspicion that being annoyed might just mean you’re paying attention.

If you’ve ever been told to “calm down” while being clearly surrounded by nonsense, this book is probably for you.
