    I’m with you, I’m the one who read my wife’s car manual.

    One of life’s pleasures, for me, is getting home with a shiny new thing and going over the manual and trying out the features, and of course it will work as described, and somehow that’s very satisfying.

    I might be on the spectrum though, my experience is that people find that weird and nobody bothers to read manuals.

        Same, but in my line of work (programmer) it makes me look like a damn savant. “How did you know how to do X?” “Oh, I vaguely remembered something from reading the API docs 2 years ago so I just went and looked it up again”
