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?

I guy I work with just told me this oneHe'd just bought a new direct-drive washing machine - one of those that spins so quietly that you can put 20p upright on top of it and it won't fall over.
His wife was a little sceptical of this as she thought this was just all marketing bollocks.
Anyway, he plumbed it in and connected it up there and then in the middle of the kitchen to prove her wrong. Balanced a 20p piece on top and set it going.
All was fine until the spin cycle cut in and it started to leap around the kitchen rocking from side to side like a mad thing. In his haste to prove his wife wrong, he'd skipped the instruction to remove the retaining bolts that hold the drum rigid for transport.
The 20p was nowhere to be seen.
