"750 Ways to Annoy People" is bam, bam, bam, one crazy thing after another, from beginning to end. This book is easy-to-read and very, very funny. I highly recommend "750 Ways to Annoy People." If this book doesn't make you laugh, you need to see a shrink!

I don't even know why I ordered this. Perhaps because of some good reviews. But I just don't get it. Not funny. Not useful. Just a waste of money. Let me save you some money by giving you a way to annoy people: Pick you nose in public. All the book is not this tastless but just as useless.

Pick a page - Pick any story - it will bring to memory some very funny things that have happened in your life. I love # 80 about the home improvement phone calls - you'll love it to. Go ahead - pick an number - pick any page, YOU will love Shaffers approach to "Survival Of The Annoyed". Read # 159 on page 35 and use the "Unknown Syndrome" to fill out those pesky credit card offers.... Same with any phone solicitation - go along with everything and then give your address as "Unknown" What ever you do, don't mow your lawn - shave it. Instructions on page 45. Have fun, Shaffer really knows his humor. GREAT.

This book tries to be amusing. It ranges from the absurd "eating oatmeal with your hands" to the illegally outrageous suggestion to report a single neighbor for wife-beating. Very UN-amusing.

There are better ways to spend your time. This book could have been condensed into one of those annoying emails that always manage to be forwarded to you. You know the kind of email that you skim and immediately delete? Well, that's what this book is like.

Sorry. Not recommended.

While visiting the home of a business acquaintance in suburban Philly, I saw "750 Ways to Annoy People" sitting on a coffee table in his den. So, I picked it up, started flipping through the pages, and smiles and unexpected bursts of laughter instantly ensued. My friend said the book has the same effect on everyone, and that's why he's had it sitting in the same spot for over two years. Then I remembered that a year or so ago I'd heard a wild radio interview with the author while driving from the airport into Anchorage, Alaska (of all places). I remember he was banging things and ranting about bad table manners, ways to annoy people at work and everything else. Anyway, the point I want to make is that this is an really funny book. It's easy-to-read, it will keep a smile on your face, and it gets your mind spinning in a slightly warped but positive direction right away. It makes you think of all of the idiots, malcontents, pretentious bores, neurotics, social morons, and anarchists out there - including (dare I say?) some of my own annoying friends and relatives. Nothing is off-limits but, to my surprise, it gets the job done without any profanity, which seemed to add to the book's weirdness. Yes, I do like this little gem, and I highly recommend it. It's one of those timeless attention-getters and laugh-givers that's going to stay right on my coffee table, too, for a long, long time.

...and if you don't, you need help! This is one hilarious guy who's written one hilarious book. This book is filled with side-splitting, step-by-step instruction on how to annoy your neighbor, coworker, or pastor. You need this book to help you destress after a long day at work because "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine." "750 Ways to Annoy People" is the medicine you need and author W. Shaffer Fox is the doctor who can prescribe it to you! Get it today! This book is a timeless humor classic that has yet to be discovered by the masses! I've gotten a few copies to give as gifts to friends. Believe me, you'll want to do the same thing too!

This book is a little Jewel of humor. Not only will it entertain you, but it's great to pass around at parties. Everyone will find something funny in this slightly outrageous collection. Would like to see more from Shaffer Fox.

This book is REALLY FUNNY! It is so STUPID! It had me smiling and laughing the whole time. It also made me think about a lot of people I know. There were times I had to put it down because I was laughing so hard!

Brilliantl!

I ordered "750 Ways to Annoy People" after hearing it discussed on a Chicago radio station. It is definitely the funniest humor book I have ever read. Kudos to the author. He and his book deserve, and get, my five stars!

How can a sane man come up with so many warped/annoying experiences? I met this Shaffer guy, and agree with the other reader who says they need him in Russia - (or Washington) He's funny, the book is funny - but brings ton's of memories to mind... all very annoying. Russia and Washington need him desperately. How about it Shaffer? How about replacing Clinton? Your next book can be *10,000 WAYS TO ANNOY PEOPLE.
