Couldn’t you have…gotten a life, perhaps? No? Just a suggestion. You’re an idiot, btw.

For some reason this sounds very dirty to me. I’m not even sure why.

ROFL

I have been laughing so hard I can’t breathe, not only at the sign but also at the comments. These were actual instructions for putting something together? ROFL. So funny.

Then again I don’t think I want to know XD

I’m thinking that “first” should have been the last word in the string of directions given above…

I don’t think it’s funny either. I think it’s useful. I want one of those signs.

I feel sorry for the person that wrote the instructions… He is obviously an inmate at some institution!!

Sibling of the above who received said table.

In a word, no. There wasn’t any kind of screw or stickers, or any kind of “bump” to not put anywhere. It was the most bizarre set of instructions we had ever seen. And it was, indeed, the ONLY instructions in the box. Luckily putting the table together was intuitive enough (basically just setting a giant glass disc on legs) but wow.

I love when there’s SO much Engrish that the thing’s like a riddle.

Lower case b and p look very similar to someone who is trying to type when characters look the same to them. To us, it’s obvious, but to someone used to a language that’s written quite different (Mandarin, Kanji, for example), p, b, d and q may all look the same.

You misspelled “cheeper” by the way :p

Was there a little plug to put in the hole after tightening in the screw? Maybe that’s what it’s referring to. Sometimes cheeper furniture comes with stickers to put over the screws. Nicer things have little round pieces of wood to plug in over the screw holes. I don’t know why it’s spelled as “bump” first and then “bumb,” though.

Couldn’t you have included that with your first comment of “first,” before you changed your name? The avatar stays the same, btw.

Anyone who really understood any part of that sentence (assuming it’s only one), or what they truly meant, doesn’t really speak real English… WTF. I literally laughed out loud. Probably the funniest text-only pic I’ve seen here.

Seems plain to me, save the bump to put on top of the hole.
