Demon Food Processor

The other day i decided to try to be healthy and make myself a nice strawberry smoothie.

First off can I say,

"Why manufacturers, why? Why must your machine have eight thousand pieces and be the devil to work with!" 

To start off I also own a food steamer so a lot of those pieces were getting confused with the food processor's. 

So I've never used said food processor before, setting me up for failure.

Anyway, after I finally figure out what pieces go where, I lock everything in and press the button to start it.

It does nothing.

I jiggle it around a bit and to my surprise, it still does nothing.

I can be really thick sometimes can't I?

So after that little idiot moment I decide to go online and look up the directions, making the first good idea yet.

So I read through the whole manual and I can't see anything I did wrong.

By this point this stupid food processor is really annoying me, but I reeally want a smoothie. 

Another 45 minutes of struggle fest 2013 I  push the button and it whirs to life, scaring the absolute living crap out of me.

Who am I to challenge why it works, I just put my frozen strawberries in, hit puree, and I'm done.

Now because I am the most curious person in the world I look online and finally figure out why it worked.

The handle on the plastic bin has to be facing you to work.

Stupid.
