Saving Face: How to Lie, Fake, and Maneuver Your Way Out of Life's Most Awkward Situations

By Andy Robin and Gregg Kavet

Book Overview

Little fixes for life's BIG faux pas

Figuring out which salad fork to use is a relative no-brainer, but what's the protocol for using a lockless bathroom or getting caught regifting?
Saving Face daringly examines dozens of our worst-case social scenarios. Using helpful illustrations and a "toolbox" of general techniques and technologies, you'll learn what to do if caught:

Arriving without a gift Forgetting a name Being served horrible food Starting or ending a workplace romance Sitting next to your boss on a plane Mistakenly thinking someone's coming on to you Clogging someone else's toilet Getting rid of guests Leaving a bad phone message

From the office to the dining room to the appearance of freeloading cousins at your doorstep, you'll confidently turn snafus into saves and finesse those social situations once destined for disaster.

Customer Reviews

silly little thing

A silly little book about getting away with murder and lesser things

Silly and Fun

Saving Face is a silly, fun book that as another reviewer has already stated is a perfect "bathroom book". Buy it if you enjoyed Seinfeld.

Fun Book!

Savingface is a fun book to have in your bathroom, on the table next to your favorite chair, or on your desk. However, the best place...in your hands. The writers hit the hilarity nail on the head and make you think and laugh... "I've been there" and "I'ld like to share a story or two for savingface* II".
