Regular price $22.99 $18.39 Sale

Adhesive tape tends to get sticky and tangled, milk can spill, and toast sometimes burns. Chewing gum likes to sneak into your stomach, marker ink often bleeds through paper and stains the table, straws capsize in a glass of juice, ice cream melts, and socks like to explore the back of the washing machine. You get invited to a birthday party and forget the gift, toilet paper runs out when you need it most, the hairdresser gets carried away with the haircut, it starts to rain and you don't have an umbrella... We all experience similar tragedies. This guide, the first of two volumes that have sold over half a million copies in Japan and are only now beginning to be translated in the West, compiles them by level of danger and frequency, and offers strategies to overcome them successfully and with a laugh. It can be memorized, and more apprehensive readers can keep it close at hand. In any case, we can now stop worrying about the small daily miseries.
