Dear Mr. "Some Assembly Required", December 23, 2011

You Sir are a "Dead Man walking". When I find you, and I will, you will regret the day you came up with the idea of cutting your labor cost by having me the customer assemble your toys.

Yes, it's almost Christmas, and of course I love those kids, even if I've spent 3 of the most ****ing frustrating hours of my life, with;180 3.5x22 ka screws, 120 4x45mm PWA screws, 40 6x30mm allen key bolts and 39 - NOT - 40 washers you ****head!

When I find you, "in the Face or in the Gut" will not be options.

What rocket scientest came up with using 3.5x22 ka screws anyway? What's the matter couldn't you find anything smaller? I'm sure he thinks that was just hystarical? Do you realize how small they are? Do you!!! Well he can run but he can't hide.

And another thing, is the guy that "Pre-Drills" those pilot holes Drunk every day or just when he worked on the unit I bought??? Don't you guys own a ruler???

He's on my list TOO.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT HOTLINE my butt, is there even a phone on the other end? I hate you and the horse you rode in on. If I see that horse he's going to the glue factory.

Who did you get to write those instructions? Albert Einstien?? Why is there 19 pages to put together a ***** ****ing TOY!!! AND WERE THE **** IS PAGE 5!!! I HATE YOU!

Suck Flaming Death & Die,

Eric Anderson.

I just wish he would REALLY tell us how he feels....... We all can kid because most of us have been there done that...

Please stop beating around the bush and tell us how you really feel.

If you do find the guy let me know and I can throw a little boot leather to him while he is on the ground

Know your pain!!!!

[Ouch]

I helped a buddy put together a swingset for his kids on the 23rd a few years ago (before I had kids). We did it on a trailer in my barn so he could just haul it home and "slide it off"... another story altogether, which I won't tell now.

Before I retired for the evening, all the beer was almost gone, each of us had a drink or four, there was a pile of unidentifiable parts and the set looked like a Bradford pear tree, post-tornado. My buddy called the manufacturer in Canada and left them a message that started as follows:

"Greetings from the South, you dirty (different word) Canucks..."

One of the funniest things I've ever witnessed.

Thanks goodness ours are older now..................

1st came gift cards.......
2nd came the lesson you can buy a more with the same $$$ after Christmas......
No lines, No assembly.........
Time to pour another Forty Creek Dbl Barrel Reserve and check on the gumbo

Sure does keep me in better spirits for the holidays.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Years

If it says you need a screwdriver and an allen wrench...
Get out the flat and phillips screwdrivers, 40 piece allen wrench set, drill, cutoff saw, pliers, hacksaw, needle-nosed pliers, bailing wire, drimmel, grease, duct tape, channel-loc pliers, WD-40, 3 pound hammer and possibly a 2000lb press!
God bless ye merry parents and happy New Year to all!

[Kingslayer]

Feel your pain..Me and my brother, spent 5 hours putting together my son's Train Table today.

[Texantax]

LMAO I have a whole drawer full of leftover screws and parts from various projects.

[BigFoot]

I put BBQ pits together to earn a check here and there and it seems like no matter how many of thousands of these pits they produce. They can't get the dadgum holes to line up, or cut the holes all the way out.. its Rediculous. (Ps: NEVER under any circumstance buy a grand gourmet grill!)

[Bowanta]

There something to say about paying the extra $40-50 for the assembly by Someone Else...

[warren86]

Lmao

[tx07]

Hahahahahaha

Hey how about telling us what toy so we can discard it now before the 25th!

[tkuehn5410]

LOL. I have several white collar workers including an engineer in the family who will take the better part of a day to put together a "assembly required" toy. I understand your pain.

[JMenendez]

it's funny because we have all been there!
