The story is presented as the personal diary of Charles Pooter, a middle-class clerk living in London, who chronicling the mundane and often humorous events of his daily life.

At the start of the novel, Pooter introduces himself and his new home, “The Laurels,” where he and his wife, Carrie, have recently settled. He shares his decision to keep a diary, expressing a desire to document his life just as more prominent individuals do, despite his perception of being a "nobody." The opening entries detail his interactions with tradesmen and acquaintances, highlighting comical situations such as dealing with an obnoxious butcher and his various absurd mishaps around the house, including a troublesome “scraper” at the front door. As Pooter strives for a respectable social life, his earnest character shines through, setting the stage for the draw of both humor and faux pas that follows in his fragmented adventures.
