I find poorly written and misleading instructions make me angry sometimes. I think most tech related problems are because of over complication of the controls like Office 2007 or poor documentation on how to use a gadgets control.

What are instructions?

gadgets are not hard to figure out, they all work on the same principal "on/off" switch, "various arrangement in no particular order buttons to confuse and cause gadget to function in a manner not prescribed by this reality"

Some gadgets require users to hold down a button or combo of buttons for 5-10 secs to change modes like "repeat all song modes". I find those gadgets annoying sometimes.

And the morons need instructions on how to work a button?
though does explain so much, in few words

was going to do a tutorial on how to set up a bit fo kit, may change to "how to sit on a porcelin throne", "how to work a light switch", "how the fridge works" And similar mundane tasks, that are probably to hard for the button brigade without assistance
