When you buy something that comes with an instruction manual, do you:
Read the entire manual ?
Have someone else read it,then tell you how to use the item?
Muddle your way through expanding your vocabulary ?
Call the customer service line have them explain ?
Go back and bribe the nice salesperson at the store with food or goodies so they will show you how ?
What I do is try it without instructions, then if I get really mad I will read them. If I'm assembling something I usually look at the pics because I've put stuff together wrong and had to do it over
