Do you read the manuals ?

Of something which needs assembly ? or some gadget you bought and do now know how to use it.
Or you just use your own mind to figure things out ?

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

Not untill I have to.

For a gadget I read it to look for the features, never to put it together or wired it (like my home theater system or something).

For furniture, I hardly look at the manual. The pic on the box and all the pieces laid out on the floor is enough to get an idea.

Men don’t read manuals…it’s damaging to their egos. :nahi:

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

I agree, although many men wish that their wives came with manuals.

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

So do the women :snooty:

:eek:

Goes to call Mrs TLK

I did not say that I wished for that. My wife is an open book :rose:

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

Pfft a manual is for people who don't have a brain.

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

^ So i’m guessing once you’ve finished putting something together, you pass off all the nuts, bolts, washers and pieces left over as “extras”, :rolleyes: am i right?

Sarcasm aside, IKEA do give you few extra hardware when you buy a piece of furniture.

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

That they do. And yes whatever is extra is actually extra. :D

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I showered my laptop with Pepsi which I was in my mouth at the time , that is why they say Pepsi and GS do not mix together. :hmmm:

Saying is about Pepsi and laptops .. not Pepsi and GS

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

No I don't read the manual. I just assemble the pieces where they fit, anything that doesn't I'll probably force it until breaking point and then grab the manual.

You just gotta wing it.

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

I had this drilled into me....R.T.F.M. Read. The. Friggin. Manual.

Its never failed. Whether I was working on building a trading floor or a kids toy at xmas. Should be added to the official list of golden rules.

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

I usually skim through it , without understanding anything . :D

Most of the time I come back and read it again .

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

Manual reading is `haram'.

Re: Do you read the manuals ?

I read every page of a manual..:)

When assembling anything, yes I do read and follow the instructions, and yet I still have some pieces left over :smack:

But to use gadgets, I’m a trial and error kinda girl - I figure eventually I’ll get it right.
