Do you find yourself doing things the hard way?

My spouse gave me a cartoon that she believes explains my hobby expertise, still looking for the sketch, but imagine this:

A gentleman, wearing mechanic overalls, is performing the most basic of automotive maintenance procedures in a single service bay. He has opened the hood of the vehicle and is wiping off the oil dipstick with a shop towel, in order to check the oil level. However, what he has done first is: raised the vehicle on the hydraulic lift about five feet in the air. Now, in order to reach the dipstick, he has brought over a folding ladder and climbed to the top rung so he can reach the dipstick!
