Instructions on the box you routinely disregard

1) Shake well before opening

Fuck that, my arm is sore

2) Cook for four minutes in microwave, stir potatoes, then cook for an additional three minutes.

Nah, I'm watching TV. Cooking for 7 straight minutes

when it comes to tech : everything.
love just getting the device out of the box, powering it up, hitting buttons and getting annoyed.
then days later reading a relevant page of the instruction manual and going 'oooh ... '.

I never poke in the perforated tab on detergent/cat litter/etc. boxes, I just rip the top completely off.

I feel like more than half the time, the box perforations don’t work anyway. And built in ziploc closures often don’t work either, even if you can successfully rip the top of the bag off.

you create tech instructions ?
if so, then yeah, me too (albeit re s/w as opposed to h/w devices).
hence my often very short lived arrogance.

in the uk there is a phrase that is always tagged on at the end of adverts for detergents that go in your washing machine :

'always keep away from children'.

ooh the years i have shouted out in response to that instruction obviously to much amusement for my own children.

'Contains 6 servings'

yeah right

‘Not suitable for freezing’

Use-by dates. A couple of days after is fine.

days years

'always keep away from children'.

This became such a big part of advertising campaigns, I've always presumed something really fucking horrible happened.

Shake well before opening

"I shook it about an hour ago, should be OK to open by now"

I'm talking about fresh meat though, not spices and suchlike. xps

When deciding if your food is clean
Meat is good until its green

'Top rack of dishwasher only'

Open Other End

“Not to be taken internally”

"Dry clean only"

Also I've never once separated my laundry. I just through everything together.
