Another interesting recommendation from a work friend…
I’d like to give this 5 stars - the stories were funny and it was an easy read. However, purely for the physical cringing and secondhand embarrassment it caused me, I’ll shave off half a star. Honestly, how can one man have so many tales of gaucherie? 4.5 overall

If you work in an office...... read it.
Short sharp cringe stories that make you want to curl up inside and die...... if it were you.
However, as it is not me i found it fucking hilarious.
However, however...... might need counciling as it brings back with a crash all the stupid shit you have done and cringe all over again.
