Ooh. Yay. Picture instructions.
The UPS guy just delivered a kitchen cart and I get to assemble it.

There are dozens of parts and no words whatsoever -- just line drawings and arrows and apparently some of them are shelves and some are supports and what the hell are those "L"-shaped things?

I have an utter inability to follow picture instructions. I need words. Can't anyone string together a sentence anymore?

If I don't show up for work tomorrow, it's because I've trapped myself within the kitchen cart while assembling it. Call for help. Thanks.

2. Typically these things are designed in a manner which prevents
the wrong things going in the wrong ares, dowels of varying thickness only fit in the right sized holes etc.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

4. see: that's the value of Lego
I always got Lego for Christmas as a child and today it pays off - IKEA is no problem whatsoever.
