Basic Instructions started out as a small side-feature Scott Meyer created to entertain people who came to his website looking to hire a comedian. It wasn't long before the comic was far more popular than anything Scott ever did as a comedian.
Basic Instructions is a series of guides meant to help you lead a better life. They cover topics as diverse as "How to Deal with Boredom" and "How to Travel Back in Time to Deliver a Dire Warning to Your Former Self". Basic Instructions is populated with exaggerated versions of Scott, his family and his friends, which has caused no small amount of unpleasantness.

The trucker’s advice is so true. Though for me, it’s after hour 15 that I lose the will to live (hour 10 if driving with small children that are not sedated).

I love the Dirk Pitt reference … .
And when I drive with the family, the wife is in charge of the kids, I get the easy part.

If you run out of audio books, you can always turn off the dashboard lights and plan world domination out loud.

I don’t recall Dirk Pitt or Al Giordino ever using a pumice stone or moisturizer.

I know a guy who drives a reads at the same time. I’m always amazed when I see him alive. Dead wouldn’t shock me.

Oh this so reminds me of a few miserable weekend trips w/ a friend I finally realised is only good for 3 hours max. Then I want to kill her.
