Read the manual first, a real man never reads the manual. This is how to should be done.kinbaku wrote:Bad example on my part, because normally I always read the manual first.
Make a cup of tea, or coffee.
Open the box,
Take out manual and lay on the table,
Put cup on manual and ignore,
Start pressing and poking item in vain attempt to make it work.
After half an hour suddenly realise it needs batteries.
Don't bother looking for batteries, just nick some from the nearest remote control to hand.
Another half an hour pressing and poking.
Decide to actually check if you put batteries in the correct way around.
Refit batteries as little arrows show on battery compartment.
Another half an hour pressing and poking.
Start swearing at the thing.
Start swear at the manufactures.
Start swearing at the cat, dog or any animal near by.
Start swearing at the wife.
Claim the bloody thing is broken and load of rubbish.
Shove it into a drawer and storm off out.
Return one hour later to see your wife calmly using said item.
State "oh, you fixed it, what was wrong with it?"
Storm off out again after she tells you there was nothing wrong with it, she just followed the instructions.
Though I must admit I do also usually read the instructions.
