*~How hard is it to follow instructions?~*

This makes me think of a typical scenario in the everyday life of men... I would have to say that women tend to follow instructions much easier than men do (just because we have a proper brain ;)). Men have a certain ego and 'face' that they are always trying to protect. Rather than doing something right the first time around, they always have to try and prove that they know best.

A typical example, (which I have experienced a number of times) takes place where a new hi-fi system/ table/ outdoor umbrella is purchased by a man and woman. The man accepts his role of assembling the new item, however, to try and prove his 'muchoness', he decides to skip the instruction manual and assemble it the way he thinks it should be assembled. In the end it fails and there is always something missing/ lose or unstable. All because...he couldn't follow the instructions and let his ego get in the way. This will never change, unfortunately. So, we will forever be stuck in a world with 'mucho men' and new unstable items in our households... Oh, the joys! :)
