K has long believed instruction manuals to be an unnecessary distraction. I read them cover to cover (to the point I don't dare press a button at all).
Yet we are changing in our old age....K diligently reading, me impatiently prodding and poking, him tutting.
We got it working! Which is a very good thing as I've already thrown out the receipt and guarantee. That use to be K's department too.
Heehee, I'm a "lay out all the parts" and a "read all the instructions, step by step" person. I tell my husband that is one reason he married me. He has not patience for that kind of thing. My frustration comes when I follow directions and things don't work the way they're supposed to. :D Glad you go it working!
ReplyDeleteHa! I think our hubbys are similar creatures. When I met K I was intrigued to know how he’d made it to 35 and done perfectly well in life without ever reading any instructions.
DeleteOur posts are on the same track. Me I don't like the assembly required items. I don't have patience for directions so I either mess it up and then hire or ask someone to fix up my mess, or now a-days I just get someone else to do it from the get-go.
ReplyDeleteSadly just about everything now requires some assembly or set up at home. I’m with you - hurl in a room with someone paid to sort it out...
