I'm pretty good with flat packs, even the ones where the instructions have been translated into English. It's a combination of needs must and practise makes perfect. I find it helps to take a deep breath or ten while I'm getting organised.
You have 2 choices, tell yourself you can do it and give it a go, or let someone else do it and watch them gloat.

Lmao Tatty!
I'm really anal about flat packs, I undo them all, lay out all the bits, make sure I have the correct parts and that they match with the diagrams.
Then I proceed to assembly!
Now I must point out up until that point I'm calm, collected, I have all the appropriate tools.................
Then all hell breaks loose!
My son hides, dogs cringe under the bed, the neighbours invariably call the police! lol
Do I hate flat packs?
You're darn skippy I do, but I still keep buying the b@stard things!!

you have to be doing some extreme ab work outs every single day to get a six pack.

Grrrrrrrrr...Don't even mention flat packs. I have a small cupboard to tackle and I'm not looking forward to it.

we plough on ignoring all instructions and ending up with spare screws, aren't they considerate how they always put extra screws in, lol

Yes - get him to come and do it for you!
I couldn't be doing with that sort of thing - I like my furniture to come ready made up.
