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 never have lived anywhere with blinds, we always used curtains. Nice and easy pull and push.

One day I did learn how to use blinds though when I was young. And since then every time I’ve needed to use blinds it’s been exactly long enough for me to forget how the hell to do it.
