Don't be that guy: A collection of 60 annoying guys we all know and wish we didn't by Colin Nissan and Sean Farrell is one of those books that you buy and wish you didn't spend the money on it. It is trying to be funny by inserting lots of graphics, but is just bland. I think that, within the American
stereotypical society, some of the annoying guys from this book are spot
on but things get blurry depending on sexual orientation, type of
relationship there is amongst those guys and level of comfort between
them.
Let me explain this book in regards with how close I get to their categories. I am comfortable being naked at the gym because I don't think there is anything shameful in being nude in front of other guys, we all have the same thing down there. I did take my boyfriend at the gym and it was fun, though the category is about the guys who bring their girlfriends and size differences make the guy always having to adjust the machines. I don't mind if guys look at my penis while I am in the steam room, it's just part of my body. Should I feel offended if someone looks at my toes? Yes I am the kind of guy who emails porn that might haunt your dreams, but I do it to close friends who do the same to me, it's called "sex-ed the hard way". I wear a perma-scruff because I hate shaving and rather trim my overgrown beard. I talk to other guys while we pee at work, I don't find it offensive because usually we talk while going in there and continue the convo while we're doing our business. Last one: I listen to Dave Matthews Band, deal with it.
Guys that I also find annoying: guys who verbally encourage themselves while working out, guys who know more about sports than we wish they did, guys in pornos who don't wear condoms (bareback is hot, but promoting safety is more important), guys who wear winter hats indoors (or during summer days), guys who over-hug (if you're not my boyfriend of an ex, stay away from me), guys who think we have a special handshake, bar-backs who stand around while we need drinks and the list can go on.
The book is one of those that you always find discounted. Those kind of books that you buy from a newspaper stand at the train station to fill your time during the trip and don't mind forgetting it in the hotel room or using it as toilet paper in case of dire necessity.
