A Completely Unromantic Collection of Very Bad Decisions
Have you ever looked around and thought:
This was not the right place.
Of course you have.
Everyone has.
This book is a tribute to those moments.
From awkward rooms and questionable locations to poor timing and even worse confidence, This Was Not the Right Place is a collection of painfully familiar situations where common sense briefly left the building.
With sharp humor, dry observation, and just enough emotional damage, Hugo Stinkwell explores the universal truth we all try to forget:
Sometimes desire arrives faster than logic.
These stories are not about romance.
They are about regret, silence, thin walls, bad lighting, and places that should have known better.
Inside you'll find:
- painfully awkward situations
- locations that quietly judged everyone involved
- moments that felt like a good idea for approximately seven seconds
- and the kind of memories that return at 2 a.m. without warning
This is not a guide.
This is not advice.
It's a collection of moments we survived - and would rather not discuss.
Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent adult humor, uncomfortable laughter, and the relief of realizing:
At least it didn't only happen to me.
