Ignoring InstructionsWhen I was small, a friend of mine waved a big plastic bottle at me and asked me if I "wanted some drinking yoghurt?" I pointed out the "do not drink" label, but no, he was convinced this was a big jug of a particularly strange, liquid yoghurt that was briefly popular in the 70s.
He was sick for hours, after consuming a suprisingly large quantity of washing liquid.
What instructions have you ignored?

ArmyAfter a lot of running around (4 weeks) and general shit they finally issued us with bayonets. And, being the Army, a lecture on your bayonet.
"A bayonet is a sword. It goes on the end of your rifle and is for sticking in people. You cannot throw a bayonet. They've been specifically designed so they *can't* be thrown and I don't give a fuck what you've seen on the telly!!"
Lecture over. Corporal moves away. Bayonet whips through the air and sticks in a tree just above his head....
"Legless!!" "I saw that you fucking horrible turd. What have I just told you!!"
"That you can't throw a bayonet" I mumbled. "I was just checking"
"Well check this out - MAP reference 62,34,27 there's a tin can on the top of the cairn. Go and get it for me."
15 miles in full pack and rifle (with my bayonet) with an enraged corporal screaming at me from the window of a 4-tonner......
I really had to learn to keep my mouth shut and my head down......
Cheers
