We redecorated over the weekend, and the SO bought some carpet-cleaning spray. She read the directions:
- Remove cap.
:smack: Oh, boy! I’m glad they put that step in there! I’d hate to think of what would have happened if they’d omitted it!
Only… It didn’t have a cap. Does this mean we can’t use it? i mean, if we can’t remove a cap that isn’t there, how can we proceed to Step 2?
In actuality, I think the intention was that one is supposed to remove the cap if it being used with an applicator accessory. I gather this is some sort of handle so the user doesn’t have to bend over or something. Still, it struck us both as amusing that they’d actually have ‘Step 1. Remove cap’ in the directions. It’s like having a box of mac’n’cheese that says ‘Step 1. Open box.’ (I don’t know, it might say that. I’ve been making mac’n’cheese long enough I don’t read the directions.)
