How to screw up easy mix pancakes in 10 easy steps

One would think it would be hard to screw up something as simple as easy mix pancakes. Let me assure you, it is quite possible, as sad as it may sound.

1. Enter the kitchen with over confidence
2. Don't read the instructions
3. Throw away the instructions
4. Act like Gordon Ramsay
5. Don't read the instructions
6. When you notice there's something off about the mix, continue in denial that it will get better.
7. When you later try to fix it, add water, oil, eggs and mezena with a hopeful heart
8. Don't read the instructions.
9. Taste the sludge, experience an epiphany, now scratch through the dustbin for the instructions, read them, feel like a moron. Imagine Gordon Ramsay asking you "how do you f#@$ up a premix you silly cow???
10. If you have followed these easy steps, congratulations, you now too can screw up a premix. ANY premix

 I am now completely depressed by this unfortunate event. I'm going to find myself a nice corner and have a good cry
