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?

Vehicle engines...Ex husband was grumbling that our van engine was steaming.
I had already been advised that a core plug was leaking, possibly corroded, so it was best to let the engine cool down before looking at it as core plugs can blow out like bullets, releasing red-hot steam.
After explaining this I was about to go off for a brew, but Ex still wanted to argue about it and he decided to investigate personally.
I turned back just in time to see him open the bonnet and lean in close to the engine.
BANG! The core plug blew out, followed by the scalding steam.
The ex ran off backwards clutching his face and I collapsed on my knees with laughter.
Sickness, health, yup, richer, poorer, yup, stupider, nope.
