Life’s Little Annoyances: True Tales of People Who Just Can’t Take It Any More
By Ian Urbina
Times Books, 192 pages, $15

Deter repeat offenses with a layer of salt on the pint of Ben & Jerry’s.) Most of the pet-peeve bases are covered, but every curmudgeon will find a few of their own obsessions lacking attention in these pages–enough to be peeved.
