We’ve all had those moments where it’s just awkward.
This episode includes Callow creeping the neighborhood with a torch… unintentionally. Ordering chicken barefoot and an awkward first date with the drive thru attendant.
None of this was in the manual.
A fight with an umbrella. Carpark system betrayal and a jar that launches itself. What a week!
A freezer drawer wouldn’t close, a Paddle Pop betrayed me, and suddenly I’m questioning if that order is mine. This wasn’t in the manual.
Not an overly crazy week. But the simple normal things in life felt a bit like I was on stage!
Two massages. Two mistakes. Apparently there are rules to shopping centre massage etiquette… and Callow doesn’t know any of them.
In the first episode of This Wasn’t in the Manual, Callow realises adulthood mostly involves pretending you know what you’re doing. From a fly-in-the-ear disaster to the chaos of building flat-pack furniture, it’s proof that life doesn’t come with instructions — and we’re all just figuring it out as we go.
