People. PEOPLE. WHYYYYY ARE YOU LIKE THIS??
I've worked for five years as a shop assistant and I swear on God people are really THAT dumb, like I was going crazy FR.
This was a quite funny book tho, but I didn't have the time of my life reading it, so 3 stars are enough u.u
I liked it a lot but didn't laugh out loud like other people did... I guess I don't find human stupidity to be funny. But I do find the book very interesting and some of the anecdotes put a smile on my face.
It was a quick, enjoyable read. Most of the bloopers were quite funny. Even when they say the most ridiculous things, the Brits are just fascinating. However, I do have some doubts that some of dialogue actually happened, it seemed too far-fetched at times. Nevertheless, fun read.
