I remember an incident with a emergency generator. He tried and tried to start that thing. So he loaded it into the truck and took to a repair shop. It cost him over $100. He brings it home and say the repair shop said there wasn't anything wrong with it. So I walked over and read the directions and it started right up. I told next time hit the start button..

ohhh dear you just made me * giggle * thank you @SweetMae

SweetMae · 70-79, F

@Sparklesatnite Did you have a similar experience?

Sparklesatnite · 51-55, F

yes with the rain water tanks there’s two plugs and neither were connected until I read the instructions, and it was months before that with the rain season and couldn’t work out why the tanks wasn’t filling up .. @SweetMae

When assembling furniture yes however it is disconcerting at the end with screws left over wondering where they should of gone!

Sparklesatnite · 51-55, F

how true and then you worry weather its sturdy enough and you hope it’s just extra for that just in case you loose one scenarios @nacnud

nacnud · 36-40, M

@Sparklesatnite exactly. The spares end up in a drawer "just in case" they may be useful later! So far furniture assembled hasn't fallen apart so assume they were spares.

I figure it out myself .

Sparklesatnite · 51-55, F

I think there is something many ladies don't understand. To get our "Man Card", we must try to assemble a minimum of 3 things without reading the instructions. It is a requirement, proof must be submitted with the application for said card. This also applies to asking for directions.

It is not easy being a man.

Sparklesatnite · 51-55, F

Ohh I understand perfectly well when the item is still sitting in pieces all over the lounge room floor looking no different to that when it was pulled out of the box over three hours ago . Well this Man card must secret mens business as its the first for me .. Ohh don’t get me started on men asking for directions I suppose you have a Man Card for this as well . 🤭

Ohh its not easy being a women trying to get you men to read the instructions when all else fails 🙂 @Ontheroad

Ontheroad · M

Sparklesatnite · 51-55, F
