I believe that all screws ought to be at least two inches long, colored bright yellow, and accommodate only phillips screwdrives.
Or a Robertson screwdriver. Anything but a flathead.

I laughed!
Earnestness alert, though -- were these the shelves that were talked about a while ago as cat perches? I can't remember if that was you...
You laughed? Thank heavens...my humour is not impenetrable.
It was I, indeed, but these are not they.

I must earnestly point out that you have pointed out that the Bear can be a teensy bit crass, when, in fact, he is routinely overtly and even grossly crass. I am surprised that hitherto you have failed to make note of this, but I suggest that you keep this in mind when interacting with this individual in the future.

Well, first lesson in putting up shelves is: use a level.
However, since you live on the underside of the world, I suggest that you simply turn your house right-side-up and everything should look fine.

I wanna know if the instructions were in some language that pretends to be English, but is sadly not even freakin' close.
Can has put screws down facing turn toward rising sun with tool, and make tight with fist.
There WERE no written instructions...just diagrams.
Only they drew the screws 10 times bigger than they are.
