This is a question Ignoring Instructions

When 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?

ooo i just remembered!
our first year form tutor gave us an exam at the end of the first term...
It had all the usual blurb at the top that you get with all exams -
you know; 'take your time', 'think about questions before you
answer them', 'read the whole paper through once before attempting
any questions' etc etc...

It started off with a few simple maths questions... a bit of
science, a couple of french questions - everything we had been
studying in that term really... As the test continued though the questions
started getting a bit more random, such as :

7) Say the alphabet out loud, backwards

12) When you get to this questions, sing the national anthem
in a german accent (?)

14) Attempt to touch your right elbow with your right hand

and

23) Do 20 press ups

The very final question went something like this :

30) Now that you have read this paper (as instructed at the start)
please dis-regard all of the questions

There wasn't a single person in the class who hadn't fallen for it.
