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.

Car got an engine warning light,

Lots of advice saying you’ll need to take it to a mechanic to get it diagnosed etc. possibly would cost a couple hundred to diagnose and fix.

Bought a £10 reader from Amazon and the issue was a something to do with the fuel cap not on property.

Lovely job.

I had the same issue with a truck a decade ago. My OBF reader has paid for itself many times over!

I have mine to my little brother as he is an apprentice HGV mechanic and will get much more use out of it than me.
