Angry Flat-pack wardrobes

In the process of building two.
Why are the instructions always bullshit and why do I have to take panel A from box 2, attach fixing bracket F from box 4, with screws from box 3 and attach to panel G from box 1?
Can't they come from the same box?

I look forward to your rant about the pre-drilled holes not lining up

+1

When I was younger and struggled to find work I put a card in a few windows offering my services putting peoples flatpack furniture together for money. I charged a reasonable rate and was inundated with people wanting me to make their stuff up for them

Not only that, but what's with all the other holes that you don't even use?
And why do I have to drill yet more holes?

Actually, just finished the first one. 4 hours!
Looks pretty good. The doors line up as well!
Second one should be a breeze...

I look forward to your rant about either (a) having 1 screw too few in the pack, or (b) having 1 screw left over when you've finished
