  • The troubleshooting section of the manual is almost always useless because it only ever covers user error.

    My washer threw a drainage error and the manual suggested I blocked the outlet or had done something daft. I looked up the error code online and 90% of the time it was a failed water pump.

    I had to replace the water pump. It was an easy job that required less documentation than a lego set for a 5 year old. You just had to know which screws to loosen to get to the pump. Was it documented? Of course not.




  • OK, here’s how it happened.

    I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.

    I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.

    Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.

    6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.
