I got a flat pack wardrobe with two drawers, My friend said he would build it as I have man flu.
I can't put any thing in the drawers as they are at the top and upside down.
He took home the 64 screws that were left over how can I tell him I need them

If I turn it upside down there will be more of the thing I can't use as the hanging rail will be at the bottom. typical male ansa thanks to all of you love to hear from people with a sense of humor.
Man flu is common cold suffered only by women.:)

What's Man Flu?
Anyway, the drawers are on the top upside down? Well maybe the thing is turned upside down. Did you think of that? Turn it right side up. Then the drawers will be correct. Right?
You're right; Men don't need instructions. We know everything.....except what man flu is.

Most men don't read the instructions because we're visual learners. We generally do best with diagrams or pictures instead of being verbally told instructions, or having the printed down for us.
If you put a group of men and a group of women to work on the same task, you'll find the women talking, and the men drawing diagrams and maps. Men have a strong sense of spatial relations, and thus instructions tend to be thrown out or used only in an emergency.

Well you can't say that ALL men NEVER read instructions.
I am a professional, & I learned a long time ago that the shortest way to assemble something is to read the instructions that come with the item that needs assembly.
Tell him to come back with the screws, & the instructions, & take the thing apart so you can put it together properly when you are feeling better.
Hope you feel well soon.

As a Man, I feel that the Instruction sheet should be remaned the Correction Sheet. As all self-respecting Guys will never look at them until there are corrections to be made.
Just ask Him to stop back over and help you put clothes in it, once He sees it, the male ego gene will take over and He will then do it correctly!

First of all, young lady, the instructions are included by the manufacturer for FEMALES to use. WE are MEN: we don't NEED the instructions (just like we don't NEED directions, either, which is why we never stop to ask for any when YOU happen to be lost!) Just accept this.
Thank you, come again!
PS. Those 64 screws were OBVIOUSLY extras.

Why do women always stereotype?
I am a man....Sometimes I read directions.
Your friend is a goof. I can't imagine anyone putting drawes in upside down....Even a woman!
:-)
Call your goofy friend and tell him you want the screws back...He already knows he did it wrong. Don't be afraid to let him know you are aware of that fact too.

i think your whole trouble is the type of man that you hang out with! besides, it's easier to put things in from the bottom if they open that way! since drawers pull out, why don't you just turn them over and be done with it? or do you need directions on how to do that??? sounds like somebody needs 64 screws, cause they are definitely loose! had fun, thanks for the laughs!

Geez! Guys try so hard to impress us, don't they? Just ask for those screws back, girlfriend ... if he can't or won't read the instructions, give him a spanking! That might lead to more interesting things to do besides assembling the wardrobe!
Take care!

LOL
Actually my husband is the one who reads instructions and I'm usually the one that has 64 screws left over...
I would just ask him to give you the "extra" screws back.

Next time ask a friend who has a clue how to build something. I would just straight up ask for the screws back.
