Unaware of one's foolishness. Originates from "What a
Piece of Work is Man"
monologue from
Hamlet. More precisely an ironic reflection of how little most men achieve despite being endowed with relatively enormous powers to act and reason. Generally used as a sarcastic "compliment."

Example:
You had sex with the new girl?
"Ya butt she wasn't very good. I had to
teach her
what to do. Kinda like
your wife, haha."
You really are a piece of work.

Clean version of "piece of sh.." where
overt profanity is out of place. Commonly refers to an individual who despite a wealth of help and "understanding", options yields
utter disappointment. To accept one is naive.(Avoid) To reject one is to understand.(Recommend)

I'm not sure what it means. My boss says it all the time.
1) He says it about attractive women.
2) He says it about a retarded guy wearing a
neon yellow reflective vest and riding a
tricycle on the sidewalk.
Example:
1)
Wooo, look at her. She's
a piece of
work.
2) Look at that guy. He's a piece of work isn't he?
