Those grumpy whingers on TV, no matter how charming, do not have a monopoly on the crap which life dumps on us. Every day, we are driven to distraction when the latest idiocy is jammed down our throats. The red mist rises, our hands jerk into fists, and our blood pressure rises to the level our GPs warned us about. Grumpy? Never mind grumpy. This is about stuff which turns me into a murderous sore with a bare head. It has been written to remind us how irritated we all are by the life-garbage which lands on us every day. I want you to say, "Yes, YES, that pisses me off too", and go looking for a dog to bite.
This book looks at stuff which irritates us, drives us mad, saps our souls like vampires. Is this a personal profile of my spleen? No. I talked to dozens of people and two things happened. First, they agreed with my list. Then, they added to it. So this is an unscientific poll of stuff which hacks off a very large percentage of the populace -- including you!
Airports, The Archers, Goat cheese, Bangalore, Big business, Vacuum cleaners, Dogshit, Exercise, Fireworks, Tennis grunting, Jellyfish, Lawyers, Instruction manuals, Piers Morgan, Lavatory deodorants, Soap operas, Politicians, Quangos, Video recorders, Snakes, White vans, Wagnerian Operas, Yachts, Religious zealots, etc., etc., etc. That's only a handful or so to whet your appetite -- there are almost two hundred in this book.
If you are as pissed off, irritated, disappointed, sceptical and as bloody annoyed at life's rubbish as I am, then I Can't Take Any More Crap! will be your Bible, your Little Red Book, your indispensable Verbal Toolkit, a Thesaurus of your hates, and your Constitution.
