Eh. Definitely related to many of her complaints but some just sounded whiny. Honestly, I chose it because it’s a quick easy read to help me get a head start on my reading challenge 😉

This was a cute little book that had rants, some I related to, some I thought other people didn't hate as much as I do, and some that were first world problems that I didn't see how it could piss someone off.
Also shout out to this book empathizing my thoughts on soup!

In the midst of this global pandemic, I really needed a lighthearted book that I could read to ease some of my stress and anxiety. 101 Things That Piss Me Off delivered!
Rachel Ballinger is a Youtuber that I watch. I bought this book to support her and get a taste of her quick-witted humor, but it sat on my shelf for a while. While COVID-19 rages on, it seemed like a fitting time to read this book and have a few very much needed laughs.
In this book, Rachel Ballinger uses her satirical humor to pinpoint and expose everyday truths, ironies, and annoyances of the modern world. She offers 101 things that piss her off, as the title suggests. While the concept may seem silly, the 101 things are relatable and encourage readers to ponder about the small pet peeves of their own lives.
Some of the things that piss both Rachel Ballinger and I off are:
- When people type haha or lol- I hate this soooo much. My overthinking mind cannot interpret these for the life of me. Like are they really laughing?! Are they simply typing it because they just texted an ugly truth and they are trying to cover it up?! The awkwardness! Actually all abbreviations. Like “sry” and “wbu”- if you care enough about me, type the whole sentence!
- poop splash- yeah.... enough said.
- pockets on girl jeans- Right?! How are girls supposed to fit anything into such tiny pockets? Gosh!
- When people look over your soldier at your device screen- COME ON! Respect my personal space and business!
Some of these are real knee slappers!

Okay, so I am a huuuuge fan of YouTube and Rachel is one of my favorite content creators, I really love her "You know what pisses me off!" rants. They always make me laugh and sometimes even make me want to grab my torch and pitchfork and exclaim my hatred for the exact same things. I knew I had to have this book from the moment it was announced. As you might have seen from one of my previous updates, I was a little disappointed that there weren't really any stories to go along with the list items or things that piss Rachel off, but near the middle of the book I realized how absolutely long the book would be if Rachel had written a true story to go along with 101 listed items. I enjoyed the book for what it is, literally a list of 101 things that piss Rachel off. I would recommend this book to fans of Rachel's YouTube channel, but I don't think I would recommend it to anyone unfamiliar with her content. There were times in the book when I laughed out loud at Rachel's insights and drawings, so I give the book 4 stars. It will tide me over until one of the Ballinger's finally writes a whole book about their crazy experiences through their journeys to YouTube (and Netflix) fame.
