WTF? How to Survive 101 of Life's Worst F*#!-ing Situations

Adams Media, 232 pp.

The most sarcastic pint-sized survival book to land on shelves, WTF?: How to Survive 101 of Life?s Worst F*#!-ing Situations is an account of every shitty situation that's as awkward to deal with as it is to talk about. And it has an answer for everything. Not invited to the cool kids' party? Let the cops know you've seen them "doing narcotics." Girlfriend wants you to cut down on Internet porn? Please her (and still yourself) by switching to DVDs.

WTF comes with various options, ranging from passive-aggressive to just plain crazy ("Some jerk cuts you off in traffic? Step 1) flip him the bird … Step 4) follow him home and kill him"). Some chapters are complete with little nuggets of experience: "Up Close & Personal" tells a story of a cheap honeymoon in Cancun during hurricane season, and although co-author Anthony W. Haddad didn't take the advice offered in the book and go surfing, he did shout out Brody from Point Break, commending him for doing so.

Ten chapters separated by issues from "Every Days of Life" to "Dealing with the Mrs." may not remedy all of life's little situations, but at least the laughter will take the edge off.
