Tip - Ask me what you want done please don't tell me how to do it

Ask me what you want done please don't tell me how to do it.  I'm sure i'm not the only one, my girlfriend asks me to do something and than she tells me how to do it.  Most cases she has no clue what she is talking about and confuses me also.  If you are in the same boat, if she really knows what to do, tell her to do it herself.  It will save both of you lots of time, which can be spent on more interesting things.
