Instructions, I recommend you start with step 1.

Since when did people's inability to read instructions become so rampant?
It seems to me that more and more often people have forgetten that reading something may actually teach you something. I am not talking about sitting down with an encyclopedia and reading it cover to cover to learn something. What I am talking about is something simple like building cheap particle board furniture from Ikea or learning how to do something new on your computer.
I am not sure why but people are even overlooking the blantant obvious details. For example if a document were to read something like "make sure to read carefully", in big bold letters, then it would probably be important to read everything. I can understand that sometimes people want to do their own thing and I am 100% for that but when it comes to doing something simple and doing it right the very first time then why not read the stuff that will set you on the path for success?
I can attest that I do not always read the instructions on things. The difference though is that I will toy with something until it works correctly. I tinker with things, it's just in my nature. If you know that you are not so saavy in the problem solving department or you just have no understanding of what it is that you are trying to do then do yourself a favor. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
