Joyfully Assembling My Furniture
Because nothing says "Sunday well spent" quite like deciphering hieroglyphic instructions while surrounded by 47 identical screws and a lingering sense of regret.
A wordless visual journey featuring stick figures who seem to possess superhuman strength and six hands. Step 4 looks exactly like Step 7. Good luck.
47 identical screws labeled A through Z, then AA, AB, AC. Plus mysterious extra pieces that definitely weren't in the instructions. Are they important? Probably.
It's done! It only wobbles slightly. Don't look at it from the left side. And definitely don't put anything heavy on it. Perfect.
"I followed the instructions exactly. Three times. It's still wobbly. My cat is judging me. I have a degree in engineering."
"The box said 'no tools required.' I now own six different Allen wrenches, three screwdrivers, and a rubber mallet I didn't know I needed."
*Not real. Obviously.
A: As serious as the "30-minute assembly time" printed on the box.
A: Keep them in a jar. Tell yourself they're "spares." Ignore the voice saying you definitely forgot to use them somewhere critical.
A: Absolutely! It adds character. Also known as "rustic charm" or "artisanal instability."
