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?

SignThere was this dodgy handwritten sign on my old company's underground carpark about 11 years ago one summer: "Do not park here if you have just filled up with petrol"
Pah - I laugh in the face of such idiot handwriten signs. So I park my Fiat Uno (I know, I'm so very sorry too) after having just filled it right to the brim (like you do).
Couple of hours later, I come back to the car to find a worried looking security guard and about a gallon of petrol leaking out of my car. Turns out the air conditioning vented into the carpark (WHY????) and petrol expands when warm. The carpark was a steady 43 degrees and there was petrol everywhere.
So I did the clever thing and got in my car and drove off. Quickly. Smoking was banned in the carpark soon thereafter......
There was this contractor who threatened to report me for parking there now I think about it as I shouldn't have had a pass to park there - The f***ing w***er - you know who you are, I'm going to come and get you - you b***ard.
Ahem - Sorry, the rant's a bit off topic....
