Most of us blokes don't read instructions as it's an in built thing for us, women can be as bad and as an example a certain Lady on here (I use the phrase loosely lol) has had a car for 3 years and just found out it has a feature she knew nothing about untill someone told her  |

It would make us less of a man if we read instructions, we are genetically built to be able to work things out our own way!!
'its better to try and fuck it up than follow instructions and look like a wuss!!' |

bought an MFI bookcase that finished up looking like a wardrobe designed by Picasso 
Couldn't get the shelves straight, then found out I'd put one of the sides on upside down |

I work in IT, and one of the pet hates us geeks have is people not reading instructions. The answer to many basic, well explained (in the instructions) queries is usually a curt "RTFM, (insert insult)", which means: READ THE FUCKING MANUAL.

I do agree with you there, badly translated Mandarin is never pleasant. |

On a similar vein, whilst doing voluntary work at a local Music Festival last month, and doing Main Gate Traffic control, one lady motorist was memorable.
She was advised about which internal site road she'd to follow, but she must put on her "hazard lights". She asked me, "What do you mean?", so I pointed out what that meant and the red button on the dashboard.
Her response was "Well, I've had this car 5 years and wondered what that was for! You learn something new everyday!" 
Or another case when several years ago, I worked in ferry port Security, here in Hull. At the time, we'd to search all outgoing caravans, motorhomes etc.
One car pulled into the search area, with a caravan in tow, and as I checked over the car etc, I noticed the nose wheel was still in the down position, and in contact with the road! It looked "knackered" to put it mildly.
We learnt he'd only picked up the 'van the day before from the dealer, and had driven that day from Glasgow to Hull for the first time with a caravan!
Neither he or his 3 elderly friends in the car had never had any experience of caravanning, and they were going to Southern Italy!
The icing on the cake was when I asked him, "how will you be reversing up the access ramp into the main deck? That's what you have to do on this ship!"
He went pale! "Maybe I should look at the manual" he stuttered. Doh!
I made sure the Dock Manager was aware of this muppet! |

I have just used the oven logo with the little drip next to it instead of heading for the fan assisted knob. My cherry cake is rising nicely. Dug out the instructions apparently this is the proper cake and bread oven setting. I've only had it five years..... |
