I generally like Sedaris, and this was an interesting idea, but I didn't enjoy it. The first piece that ended with a shocking twist was fresh, but the same mechanism was used repeatedly and reductively. I get it--people are awful and not cute and benign like little bunnies. If I want to read stories that simply provide repetitive examples of this idea, I'll read Chuck Palahniuk.
