Whether you're building an IKEA piece of furniture or attempting a new supper recipe, having clear directions is always crucial to the success of your project. However, we do not always have access to the most useful instructions, and occasionally, those attempting to follow those instructions appear to have left their common sense at home.

The Instructions Unclear subreddits were created as a result to increase awareness of the value of clear instructions. To help you remember to always cross your Ts and dot your Is when describing how to do something, we've compiled some of the funniest posts from these groups below.

The images on this list were compiled from two Reddit subreddits dedicated to exposing the world's most illogical instructions and those who blindly follow them. There are many fantastic entries on the pages of r/InstructionsUnclear and r/Instructions_Unclear, which together have more than 5k users, that might cause you to automatically facepalm.

It's true that not everyone is intelligent enough to understand instructions without any difficulty, but it can also be challenging to gauge how capable others are. We hope you like this collection of images that can make you lose a little bit of faith in humans, ranging from people asking for assistance after having problems following directions to pictures of the contradictory and misleading instructions themselves.

It's important to keep in mind that you should always be very specific when giving a task to a child, student, employee, or your significant other. Alternatively, encourage them to feel free to ask any questions they may have.

It's easier to avoid problems and mistakes than it is to try to remedy them after it happens since common sense is not usually that prevalent.
