Why can't students just READ instructions?!

I assigned my students to watch a documentary, and told them where they can access it on the syllabus. Last Friday, I wrote them a reminder email, and included the links and instructions on how to obtain the film again.

This morning, a student emailed me to ask where the film is and how she can access it.

*facepalm*

And we are only beginning Week 5. I'm pretty sure it's not my email server because I sent the email via the school's email portal, so it should get to all my students. Plus it's on the syllabus, which I told them to read. Yet, I've had a few of them email me similar questions regarding other assignments. Sometimes I just want to make a montage video of people asking "Why can't you just read instructions?! I just sent them to you!"

Okay, I won't. But it's tempting to do so. I'm sure other instructors will appreciate it ;)
