Point taken. I’ll get my coat… (and go and read some manuals)

I think a majority of people don’t read instructions and manage to get by, I like to think I’m one of those people. But I think the difference is if I was struggling, I would turn to the book, the course, Google, whatever, before actually bugging someone about it.

My boss drives me absolutely crazy by phoning IT for every tiny little thing, whether it’s something she’s seen before, whether it’s something they have given us instructions on, whether it’s something she just needs to read to sort it out.

If I had to answer all of those questions, I would either have walked off a pier, or pushed her in front of me.

Yeah, fair point regarding the driving lesson.

I think, though, that it’s fair to say that we do *all* use things when we don’t know how they work – whether it be computers, cars, microwave ovens (ooh, now there’s a good example!), hell, electricity in general , mobile phones – all things we use every day, but that only a specialised few truly understand.

Good, innit?
