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 few times I have won a battle of wills with a woman the victory was not worth the cost.

I think G. Gordon Liddy said “In a battle of wits you are unarmed” —-he had to have been married.

Poor neglected pets.

My dog only throws up at night. My wife has poorer hearing than I and since our dog has thrown up on our hardwood floor, I feel compelled to get up and clean up immediately before the stain is ruined. My wife has been doing a good job of feigning poor hearing for years. One could almost believe it were true.
