He’s either fastening two boards or building a fire.

Anyone who’s heard me speak of IKEA and their genius products will also know that I find their instructions to be their Achilles heel. Manuals consisting of no text and pictures of stick figures holding what might be either a screwdriver or a shiv is cute when you’re assembling a toilet paper roll holder, but when you have to build your whole kitchen using these instructions, the humor is lost and you begin to curse the fair haired designers.
Japan feels the same way. In fact, they say it’s a risk. I guess you might accidentally stab yourself with the instructions, but otherwise I just found it to be a terrible inconvenience.
