Mom and Dad: We dreamed of an "instruction-free" vacation. It took us 57 tries over a ten-day period to buy plane tickets. Telephone: Press the pound key after your four-digit pin before your 16-digit located after your 35-digit member code. Both: Then we hit the self-serve e-ticket check in. The rental car had an electronic navigational system which insulted us in a foreigh language after our 26-minute effort to start the computerized ignition. Computer: Idiotas! Both: We couldn't open the door to our room. Arrow up! no. Arrow down! No. Arrow up! We also couldn't make a call, hear a message or adjust the air conditioner. Then we tried to turn on the TV. To access the option menu, press the select function. Etc. Etc. Etc. Mom: Isn't there anyplace left where lessons aren't required?? Dad: Please send a manual on how to get there.
I like the one about the rental car…I rented one last year for a 16-day stay at a cousin’s house and NEVER DID figure out the computer panel for the radio! Tapped every symbol I could…and made the mistake of wiping the screen because of the dust on it. Of course, it would have Helped if the rental car company had included the driver’s manual… Hope everyone had a restful Sunday! ;)
