Yep. The first time because "Hey, I read it. I'm good!" The second time because "Hey, I just needed to check up on something." The fifth time because "Goddammit what is wrong with me, I have 100% processed the information this time." The tenth time because I have given up on all hope of anything edible
I have learned, but yes I've definitely done this. Probably at least once last month. And regardless, I'm still looking at it 15 times for 4 steps of instructions. And I like to cook actual recipes sometimes too.
In fact, I think this is the most I've related to something posted here.
Protip: don't rely solely on the timer. Pull a noodle out to sample a little bit early to find the right texture, if you do it that way you get perfect al dente every time.
I don't trust people who cook pasta solely based on a timer. You need to just try one ever now and then. Using only a timer its always under or overcooked

You cut out the parts where I wash my hands each time I pull it out

Plus that last time I pull it out, box stays on counter for 3 days.

Do some people actually throw away the box before you finish cooking? For me the box stays on the counter until I'm cleaning up after eating

To me throwing away the box falls into the cleaning up phase, which i have to do when I'm done eating anyway

I recycle the box, but otherwise, yeah. I have way more faith in my ability to remember the instructions than the evidence would suggest.

I do. I mean, its not like I'm going to fuck up "add 2 cups of water, boil for 5 minutes, drain, add seasoning packet" right?

For me, this happens with the freezer rather than trash/recycling. Take food out, put box back in freezer, realize I forgot temp, grab box, etc

I wouldn't be able to use a timer for an accurate cooking anyway due to being 2000m above sea level.
You can certainly feel it when walking up four flights of stairs.

I wonder if there's a rule-of-thumb you can follow to get the right adjustment of cooking times
EDIT
I found this, note that the chart is in feet not meters
