How do you handle this situation?

I pull out my Epictetus Enchiridion pamphlet and read my usual passage in circumstances like that.
>Don't demand that things happen as you wish, but which that they happen as they do happen, and you wil go on wel.

Masturbate over a hateful letter you wrote, and mail it to the publisher of the book.

If it is recently published, I take a note of it and send an email to the publisher with all the typos I found in the book. I have no idea whether this is appreciated or not, but my godfather once told me that publishers would send out free books to people who did this.

I mostly read epubs, there's usually a typo in every other sentence. Don't care anymore.

It actually pisses me off so fucking much. Especially if it's a book I purchased new. How does that get past publishers? I've seen some quite bad ones.

I forget which book it was, but there was a typo in the first fucking sentence.

assume the typo was deliberate and add the new spelling to my lexicon

That always fucks up my flow because I start wondering if that was a deliberate choice by the author as a 5d meta chess move or something and I was just too stupid to understand it.

There has been a review in the New Yorker once on Professor Gabler's corrections on Ulysses making fun of correcting Bloom's fart sound from "Prfftftprrttff" to a "Prfftftprrttfff" as originally intented.

I only read on my phone and almost all of the books have been scanned so I just assume it's faulty software.
