i'm reminded of DOET:

[[
A great book about designing for usability. Instead of covering software, it
covers everyday things like doors, taps or phones, and why or why not they make
sense. This book is amusing, insightful, and makes a very good read.

One of the central themes of the book is that users of these tools tend to
blame themselves for being unable to use the tools easily, while the fault is in fact in the tools, because they lack usability and are designed badly.
