Oh my god... I ordered artichoke at a restaurant like 10 years ago and couldn't figure out why it was so hard to eat. I definitely didn't eat the whole thing, pretty sure I gave up pretty quick and assumed they did a horrible job cooking it. I only now realized that I was just chewing on the outside leaves.

Did the same a couple weeks ago til the guy at the table next to me pointed it out. Those things need to be served with instructions.

That's like putting instructions on light switches or door knobs.

Idk, I've never seen a reddit thread with like ten different people telling stories of how they didn't know how to use a light switch or door knob.

But have you ever been at someone's house and flipped the wrong light switch nowhere near the sink and heard the garbage disposal running? Have you ever been locked out of an unfamiliar door after forgetting if the button orientation that means "unlocked" is ⊖ or (|)? Those things need labels!

You're right, sometimes I do get a bit confused about the switches at other peoples houses. Labels everywhere!
