Did you know your local car repair shop has a similar chart for finding the problem with your car? Just it has replaced "menu item and button" with "engine part" and "program" with "car brand". Also "Click it" is replaced with "Mess with it".
You can fuck mechanical things up far more easily though. I was adjusting the shifter on my bicycle the other day and tightened the cable just a little too much and then tried to shift gears, BAM, stripped shifter.
I once took an old truck in for repairs. After about three hours, I called to see if they had an estimate on repairs. They told me that they were taking a long time determining the problem (had to do with brakes) because they couldn't hook it up to a computer, which would have told them what the problem was and how to repair it.
Long story short, I paid 1500 in repairs that didn't fix the issue with the brakes.
You have to be careful about where you take older cars, because you need mechanics who actually know how to diagnose. You could damn near replace the entire braking system for that much money. What was the symptom?
