Workers won't.

Cleanliness is next to impossible.

Multiple-function gadgets will not perform any
function adequately.

The more expensive the gadget, the less often you
will use it.

The simpler the instruction, e.g. "press here", the
more difficult it will be to open the package.

In a family recipe you just discovered in an old book,
the most vital measurement will be illegible.

only makes it worse.

You are always complimented on the item which took the
least effort to prepare.

Example:
        If you make "duck a l'orange" you will be
        complimented on the baked potato.

The one ingredient you made a special trip to the store
to get will be the one thing your guest is allergic to.

The more time and energy you put into preparing a meal
the greater the chance you guests will spend the entire
meal discussing other meals they have had.
