Stupid Instructions

So since we have moved in to our new place this week......we have been busy putting together all kinds of pieces of furniture, storage, ect, that come with those stupid and inane instruction manuals. I luckily somehow managed to escape this torture until tonight by pawning the jobs off on Dh and FIL.

Well tonight, my genius plan to avoid all things remotely mechanical failed. Nut was actually entertaining herself in her room and since we had gone to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought 3 pieces....Dh wonderfully suggested that I put one together as he worked on a piece in the bedroom. Dang it.

It was one of those racks that stand over the toilet and has shelves.....It looked easy enough.....All pictures......no word.......well apparently I am not a visual person. I need written instructions AND pictures. I mean I know that some people can't read but showing me a teeny tiny picture of A going into B and the G, H, I, and J all being screws which look EXACTLY the same in the small black and white pictures.....well it was not a pretty sight. Add to the fact that the PMS monster is raring her ugly head....and when dh tried to nicely ask if I needed some help....well you can imagine how well that went over. I think he thought I almost hit him in the head with the screw driver on purpose ( I swear I didn't.....he was just standing awfully close when I turned around) An hour and a half later, the stupid piece was finally put together.....and believe it or not it actually holds towels and didn't fall over! Yea Me!

I just have one suggestion for the makers of those instruction manuals..... If you don't want my husband to wind up with a screw driver up his arse well, then add some words or make your pictures MUCH more detailed.....I'm talking I want to be able to SEE the threads on the screw detailed LOL.

Lets just say I think that will be the last thing Dh will be asking me to put together for awhile ;)
