I really enjoy reading Danny Wallace's columns in ShortList magazine, and this book is a compilation of some of his best, which are all stories about things happen in his day-to-day life. The book is at its best when he finds himself in some difficult situation and finds himself just making things worst, or where he is completely bemused by the way other people in a particular situation are behaving.
Since a lot of these seem to be the sort of things that could happen to me, I find it all easy to identify with.
