It boggles my mind how much time and money folks waste due to an aversion to Reading The Fucking Manual.
Over the weekend I fixed my vehicle's broken A/C for $30 by watching a 4 minute YouTube video & buying a recharge kit. Later discovered a neighbor had the same issue recently and paid a mechanic $400 for the convenience.
Today I fixed a broken $150 Nespresso machine by once again spending 5 minutes researching common issues and finding a way to resolve an airlocked machine using nothing more than a Ziploc bag.
