I *hate* this phenomenon. I was helping someone assemble a flat-pack drawer intended to be installed within a kitchen cabinet. "First, we'll read the instructions", sez I. "Oh, they're online", sez he.
What was online was a video, showing the unboxing of the kit, followed by long-distance shots of a chap assembling unspecified parts at a speed that indicating he'd been in training for a week.
Back to working out how the damn thing goes together from first principles, with lots of measuring (twice) and "offering up".
