Priceless comment left on website

I am so very frustrated with my product and can't find help anywhere! I called the dealer who immediately asked if I read the manual. For almost $5000 I shouldn't have to READ ANYTHING!

Do people really feel this way? How lazy, stuck up, etc. do you have to be? Why buy a product if you don't intend to learn how to use it properly?

yes many people feel that way, mainily older people, they just want shit to work, and yes most of the world is that lazy, people seriously do call tech support and ask why stuff wont work and the reason is because its not plugged in

Sounds like an elitist or a wannabe elitist.

If you buy a Lamborghini do you reading the booklet that comes with it? It doesn't teach you to drive it it teaches you the finer points of the car. As with any manual. You think they publish them for fun?

IIRC that comment was from some ancient list of complaints received by CSRs at computer companies. Probably said by someone who had bought a PC in the mid-80's, when a full-blown system cost $5,000. Same list had the ones about the broken "foot pedal" (it was the mouse) and a company that instructed people to not use the telephones during emergencies, but to communicate with faxes instead.

I tend to read manuals because they can tell you about cool stuff you can do that you didn't know about.

I'm such a geek that whenever I buy a new vehicle not only do I read the manual from cover to cover, I also order the service manuals for them.

it isn't just consumers

where i work, no one will read any documentation, everyone is 'too busy'
so then they don't know how stuff works and they wonder what they did wrong when they didn't bother to read/learn how stuff is supposed to work

I bought a five thousand dollar guitar, and I still have to learn to play it? WTF?!?! :|

The service manual is VERY different from the owner's manual. The former is actually useful.
