Let's face it: most people irritate us. Hexes for the Modern Age is a tongue-in-cheek approach to giving these folks a taste of their own medicine. While inspired by witches' curses of the past, this is a gift book of 120 funny spells specific to the smartphone-obsessed, overworked, hipster-drenched reality of the present day.
Organized by category—love, traffic, work, pets, weddings, and so on—each hex is accompanied by an irreverent, Demetri Martin-type line drawing.
Spells include:
May a full-size parking space that appears to be open actually be taken up by a tiny Vespa scooter…but only when you're already running super late.
May you mess up trying to give someone a fake phone number and accidentally give them your actual number.
May you start turning into your parents way earlier than you expected.
May you watch in dismay as your Uber goes in the wrong direction on the little map and you get close to missing your flight.
May all the cords to your electronics become entangled in a massive death coil.
And many, many more!
This small book, with a spell and illustration on every page, is perfect for anyone who wants a little modern-day revenge.
