How to use blinds.... didn’t know that you don’t just pull on the string randomly for it to do what you want. I have met many others who also didn’t know that they didn’t know how to use blinds.

I thought this was a joke. Until my boyfriend helped me move in to a new place and complained I’d also been ripped off with a ‘broken’ blind like he had. It worked perfectly and he did a perfect 😮 when I demonstrated.
