Am I the only one who spent a whole afternoon trying to get a tent pole to fit?

Turns out I was trying to connect the wrong sections for over three hours before I noticed the tiny color coding. Has anyone else had a simple setup take forever because of one dumb mistake?

That feeling when you realize the solution was right in front of you the whole time is the worst. I once built an entire bookshelf backwards because I mixed up the side panels, had to take the whole thing apart. What's the most time you've ever wasted on a simple task?

Oh man, I feel this in my soul. I once spent a good hour trying to put together a rolling office chair. I was getting so mad because the wheels wouldn't click into the base. Turns out I was holding the whole base upside down the entire time. I just sat on the floor staring at it, wondering how I got through school.

My sister once assembled a grill with the lid on backwards, @the_sean.
