Could be he's just nervous. Assuming he's not lazy, it kind of explains why he takes the smaller jobs and borrows your office supplies. Our workstudies kind of remind me of your guy... They're so worried about asking what they think yet another stupid question that they'd rather try to fumble through things themselves than ask someone in the know.
Next time, take the guy aside and show him. It'll be kind of uncomfortable at first, but it'll save you loads of irritation later. Just remember, a little humor goes a long way and things will work out. Again, assuming he's not just lazy or unwilling.
