“Yes, you should try to get away from assholes, but don’t be an idiot about it.”
Having had a lengthy career in Asshole Survival, I was eager
to find some further tips to broaden my arsenal in taking them on. Sadly, I
just felt a little vindicated about my usual methodologies and concerned that I
may have fallen victim one too many times to denial. The feeling that the person was perhaps suffering a temporary
blip and really, deep down they must be inherently nice. That explains the last few years of dating at any rate.
I heard an interview with the author on a podcast on the abc and was eager to learn more.
So as I set out on the train to my place of work, where
there are a number of prize examples, I pondered on my efforts to escape and
dove deep into the pages. I'm not going to say it made for a happy read.
Would I recommend this book? Not unreservedly, but yes. It has some great tips and is well written. Ultimately its up to the reader to ensure they are not treated like dirt. Blocking assholes on every communication device is a sure fire winner when you can.
4 out of 5 assholes are a pain in the butt.
