don’t know what they’re doing
fidgeting fingers over knobs
pressing red buttons
yanking their cranks
inserting things in slots
they can’t comprehend
the message on the screen
it says: ‘you’re too shitty for this shit’
so they take a baseball bat
and make a few essential modifications

Hilarious! But sometimes the manuals make no sense whatsoever.

That’s so true! Especially when some of the components don’t match with what’s in the manual. 😮

2/ How does baseball bat fit into sliding slot B?
3/ Where are pages 3 and four of manual?

Your poem describes my husband’s approach. 🙄 That’s why I never let him near a computer, weed eater, or anything else until I’ve read the manual (or followed the on-screen instructions) and have the new “whatever” up and running. 😁

It’s a sound approach that keeps some much needed sanity intact, I’m sure! 😛

User’s Manual – 400 pages long in twenty languages- I don’t understand the complicated descriptive instructions!

I like to try to figure things out on my own, but I also scan through the manual to make sure I’m not missing anything. Sometimes there are some cool tips and tricks included. Unfortunately, I have recently noticed a trend where instructions are NOT included and you have to go on the web to view/download. Screw that! I want it in my hand on paper.

We’re with you on that, Sam! Much easier to pick up a piece of paper than to scroll through instructions on a mobile phones, that’s for sure!

Even worse are the video versions, which cheerfully “guide” you through processes at about ten times the speed at which you can comprehend them… 😱

Hahaha, yes, or overexplain things don’t need explaining and treat the thing you are having issues with as something that does not need explaining.
