The narrator relates this story in Chapter III of Three Men in a Boat. He remembers a time when his Uncle Podger took forever and went through many tools and strategies to simply hang a picture on the wall. He made the simplest acts more complex than they needed to be. And he caused more damage and raised more additional difficulties than he needed to. He was stubborn enough to think that he knew quite well how to do many things. The reality was that he didn’t know how to do these things at all. He did such a terrible job that eventually someone else had to intervene in order for the task to get finished.
