I've been guilty of this a few times. Not reading instructions fully has caused me headaches. Especially when it comes to figuring out new gadgets. When I saw the prompt for today "set the clock", it reminded me of numerous times I'd forgotten to do just that; whether it was an important appointment the next morning, or cooking on a precision timing. I'd forget how long my dish had been in the oven before I discovered I hadn't set the timer.

So many mishaps have occurred by me not paying close attention to the task at hand. I share this microfiction story related to the prompt that's a ZAPFIC50 told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.

I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: 17 December 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2589: set the clock. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @daily.prompt's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.

Below is my story.

Peering out, excitement brewed as I waited for delivery.

The installation crew finished.

Something simple to test unexplored territory.

Left with my new cook-top oven, I skimmed operating instructions.

Confident, pushed BAKE; set TEMP; Pre-Heating.

Bumped against stove. Beep!

Placed dish in oven. Set TIMER.

Logged online.

Returned.

COOKED RAW.

He sido culpable de esto unas cuantas veces. No leer las instrucciones en su totalidad me ha causado dolores de cabeza. Sobre todo cuando se trata de descubrir nuevos aparatos. Cuando vi el mensaje de hoy «ajustar el reloj», me acordé de las muchas veces que me había olvidado de hacerlo, ya fuera para una cita importante a la mañana siguiente o para cocinar con precisión. Olvidaba cuánto tiempo llevaba mi plato en el horno antes de descubrir que no había puesto el temporizador.

Tantos percances me han ocurrido por no prestar mucha atención a la tarea que tenía entre manos. Comparto este relato de microficción relacionado con el reto que es un ZAPFIC50 contado en exactamente 50 palabras. El reto fue creado por @felt.buzz.

Basé mi historia de 50 palabras en el texto de @mariannewest: 17 de diciembre de 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2589: set the clock. Si quieres participar en las sugerencias diarias, visita el perfil de @daily.prompt y consulta la sugerencia de escritura libre de cada día.

Abajo está mi historia.

Al asomarme, la emoción se apoderó de mí mientras esperaba la entrega.

El equipo de instalación terminó.

Algo sencillo para probar territorio inexplorado.

Me quedé con mi nuevo horno de encimera y hojeé las instrucciones de funcionamiento.

Confiado, pulsé BAKE; ajusté TEMP; precalentamiento.

Choqué contra la estufa. ¡Bip!

Puse el plato en el horno. Puse el TEMPORIZADOR.

Conectado.

Regresó.

COCINADO CRUDO.

The screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net evidences my use of exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic50.

Lesson learned. Excitement took over and I forgot to read certain parts. Never cooked on a oven that comes with an air fryer and other super modern conveniences.

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it. Take care.

En la mayoría de los hogares hay un cajón lleno de sobre sin destapar con las instrucciones de los aparatos que se adquieren... Muchos nunca aprendemos el buen funcionamiento de los mismos, ahora a leer con cuidado las instrucciones.... gracias por compartirlo

Hello @norberto1. You described my storage drawers perfectly. Numerous instructions manuals lie there; some for appliances and other items I no longer have.

Thanks so much for your visit. I appreciate it. Take care.

I think this phenomenon is the same as “not reading the fine print in contracts” or at least it is very similar to that other social phenomenon.

I have manuals and instructions scattered all over the house, I learned to use the devices in question the old fashioned way, “Youtube video”.

I don't know why, but I am more auditory than visual. That is, to focus I have to see and hear the source of the information I want to understand.
Do you know what I mean?

Creo que este fenómeno es el mismo de “no leer la letra Chiquita en los contratos” o por lo menos se parece mucho a ese otro fenómeno social.

Yo tengo manuales e instrucciones regados por toda la casa, aprendí a usar los aparatos en cuestión a la antigüita, “Video de Youtube”

No sé porque, pero soy más auditivo que visual. O sea, para enfocarme tengo que ver y escuchar la fuente de la información que quiero entender ¿me explico?

Absolutely understand. I also store away my instructions manuals in the drawer. Once the drawer eats them, I turn to YouTube. Always someone there with my problem waiting for me. I take my laptop to the issue at hand and go step-by-step.

Why don't manufacturers do this for their customers automatically? They don't even send manuals when the products are delivered. The 1-page sheet instructs you to go online and print out the manual. WTH. It's easier to locate a YouTube instructor.

Thanks so much for stopping by and validating that I'm not alone in my instruction manual debacle. I appreciate your engagement and support. Take care.
