"When you purchase new items ...bought a new pink microwave and just plugged it in and popped instructions In drawer. 
Always read the instructions in packets of painkillers etc mainly because no matter which end you open the fucking paper is always at that end !!!!  "
Yes your right lol  |

Somethings are intuitive and the instructions are unnecessary. Somethings I've had to return to the manual (mainly my parents' fucking TV recording box thing). |

I think of myself as pretty mechanically minded but would have no idea how to go about fitting a Car Stereo into an iphone

Important piece of advice:
"Always read the instructions, even if you don't follow them" |

When it comes to new gadgets I usually start tinkering with it until something screws up, then I rush for the instructions and pray to the technology gods I haven't broken it.  |

I normally try to do stuff without instructions, usually I get by but often that means I'm not properly utilising all the functions of the gadget so I don't actually know what I'm missing!
For example last week I finally found out by tapping the home button on the iPhone twice it shows all the apps you currently have open ( LOADS in my case!) which was slowing my phone down! |

Shrodingers painkillers box, the paper is at both ends until you open the box and it's at the one you open. |

I like the pictorial instructions you get which have (almost mockingly) smug looking cartoon people.
Plus, then you can just take a pen to them, draw in some speech bubbles and turn it into a free comic book. For bonus points, this can be used to trick children into assembling furniture for you. |

I laugh at most roadside and pedestrian instructions, and most ikea kind of stuff, but I do look at more technical / unfamiliar ones like a lawnmower the other day I put together (not from scratch, just a lot more pieces than I expected!). |

Top tip:
If the manufacturer wants you to read the instructions for a item you have just spent your money on - there's a good reason why - read them.
If you knacker the item or it doesn't work because you haven't read and followed the instructions, don't start bleating about the item being useless, crap and demanding a refund!!
Just saying! |
