Default Interior Doors trials and tribulations

You're right...it *is* easy. Nevertheless, a lot of people - like my idiot
ex-father-in-law - don't understand that they need to keep what they are
shimming perpendicular to the door while inserting the shims. They (he)
push one shim in too far thus twisting the jamb or push both in too far thus
bowing the jamb. Et cetera.

Naturally, the resulting ill fitting doors are fault of the manufacturer.
