A field manual for anyone who's ever liked humanity better in theory.
Let's be honest-most days, it's not life that's the problem. It's the people. Life Was Fine Until People is a brutally observant, darkly funny collection of darkly funny essays and reluctant epiphanies from a seasoned curmudgeon just trying to survive civilization with his sanity intact.
From forced cheer and small talk to customer service purgatory and neighborhood Facebook groups, this book charts the daily absurdities of existence with tongue firmly in cheek and a quarter-teaspoon of sarcasm. It's not self-help. It's self-preservation-part anthropology, part therapy. Filtered through caffeine, disappointment, and a deep respect for silence.
If you've ever muttered "I can't do people today," congratulations: you've found your handbook. Honest, skeptical, and occasionally profound by accident, Life Was Fine Until People reminds us that misery loves company-preferably quiet company that doesn't overshare.
Perfect for fans of dry humor, human observation, and coffee-fueled realism. Not recommended for the relentlessly cheerful.
