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.

Not being homocidal, I shall merely kick you to the curb.

…The problem is when you get thrown under the bus for no reason and you don’t know who did it, only finding out after the fact. (yes, I’m speaking from experience here…)

It happens in football too… Brian Urlacher (pictured below) was thrown under “The Bus”

There’s nothing like dedicated professionals working together to accomplish their goals… and this is nothing like that!

Do professionals operate this way? If so I understand why so many businesses fail if they can’t get free govt loans.

Very true – eventually the person throwing you under the bus gets hit by the bus anyway….
