  1. Sometimes when i read the manuals that come with things, i find they’re so badly written that i’d have been better off just figuring it out myself. PLus, why do they call manuals ‘manuals’, when men never read them?

    it’s just so confusing.

  2. Reading the manual, you get a sense they weren’t completely confident about the machine. While the diagrams are clear and the steps carefully laid out, the final sentence “Your results may vary” sounds like a voice from a megaphone directing you towards the lifeboats.

  5. I have a television that I have no idea how to work. I know there is a manual but I am too lazy to take the time to read it. Live is too busy. There are not enough hours in the day. I wonder if I’ll accomplish everything I want to in my life? That is a stupid question because I know that no one does. I wonder

  6. I hate reading manuals. They’re so boring and more than often so confusing. I hate the word manual too. It’s hard to spell when I’m not concentration in moments such as right now and I have no idea why I’m even here on this website in the first place. On paper, the word manual reminds me of the person’s name, Emanuel. Gross. That guy was an asshole in 2nd grade. He stole my crayon!

  12. I read the manual several times over and it just didn’t make sense. Where was that strap supposed to go? How was that thing meant to attach? Exactly where did THAT go?

    It was frustrating. If the manual had come with photos, maybe it would have been a bit easier to put the baby carriage/car seat together. But it didn’t and all the instructions were in another language to boot.

  13. Not automatic. But it’s so rare now, everything’s done for you. I wish I could be me again, do things by hand, manually. Hard work, but it’d erase everything from my mind, and keep me from thinking about all this shit I have to endure, every single day.

  15. I hate being told what to do. I hate instruction. I’ll do it how I please and you can’t stop me. If it comes out differently, I don’t care. I know how to take care of it. I’m an adult. At least, I think I am…

  19. I would do this, by hand and unaided:
    Mend your heart,
    Take out all the weeds that are chocking it,
    Kiss it better and
    Give it a new coat of glow.

  20. the manual is a really stupid thing according to me…i mean who reads a manual these days ..all products are so user friendly and simple there is no need to add another 20 pounds to the product in the form of a manual.

  21. a booklet with instructions on how to do something. you follow the steps.

    i guess it could mean labor also.

    you could manually follow a manual. or a manual could induce manual labor.

    never thought about this word too much until now.

  22. There really should be a manual for life. When you are born, you check in, you get a manual, a map, and a loaf of bread. The loaf of bread is so you don’t starve, the map so you can always find your way, and the manual so that you always know whats coming.

  23. When everything goes to shit,
    When politics fail and
    Resources are low and
    The bus that is your life is heading toward the
    cliff edge,
    Go to manual.

  24. this tihng that is supposed to guide you through life but really its only a set of rules that have the ability to not let you lead your own life. sometimes its best to go off the beaten path and do your own thing and not follow the “manual” make sure you try things regardless if its accordgin to plan or not. unless of course youre making furniture or something…then its okay :)

  28. The manual said that I had to activate the toy by pressing the on button for exactly 5 seconds. A split moment of distraction and I might go over, switching it off again completely. After hearing it in action though, I decided that I liked it far better when mute.

  29. This is a manual to your life.

    Rule 1: Stop sucking so much.
    Rule 2: I’m serious.

    Rule 3: And put some pants on. Jesus.

  30. I wish there’d be a manual to life. But, then again, it wouldn’t be so fun, would it? I mean, we wouldn’t get the chance to mess things up like we always do, we humans, and sometimes… real seldom… but sometimes, we wouldn’t make the same mistakes we’ve done.

  39. Yeah, it’s the old adage. Life doesn’t come with a manual. Too bad kids don’t come with a manual. But the truth is, no one reads manuals anyway. We’re all just stuck on the idea that winging it is the best way forward, and so we make the same dumb mistakes, generation after generation after generation.
