TAKE IT: Compliments for People Who Don’t Like Compliments and Are Not Easily Offended

by Tim Brown, Cameron Goedde, Noelle Rose

C,T,N,K are four of the funniest people you will ever meet. They are like F.R.I.E.N.D.S meets The Real World meets a potato. Stuffed into cubicles for multiple years they went crazy and then found their creative outlet in passing around strange corporate compliments and playing harmless jokes on unsuspecting colleagues. This book is a compilation of their best compliments and some new compliments too that would not meet HR standards. If you are feeling down reading this book might make you feel worse or better. If you are trying to win over a weird lover this should be your guide. Regardless I am pretty sure you should buy this compliment book as a present for someone you hate because then you would be friends and that would be awesome.

“I don’t know if I just got kissed or punched.” D. Moore

“These people are just really weird.” M. Tabor

“I read a compliment to a friend and they kind of fake chuckled.” C. Brown
