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?

Actually reading the instructions.... (pointless)While backpacking in South Africa I'd become a delicacy for the local flying carnivores who feasted on my hands as mozzies or whatever do.
SO, I decide to avoid getting any weird infections that may result in my arm turning black and dropping off I should go buy some Savlon or similar.
Being familiar with Savlon I applied the cream and was happy but on a long boring bus journey began reading anything including instructions on Savlon...
I can only assume there are some fucked up people in South Africa as printed on Savlon tube was the wording "Do NOT apply directly to brain".
Yeah! Like my skull is open and my brain is exposed "A little bit of savlon will clear that right up!" is what I'd be thinking...
Incidentally, among other things I noticed:
On a tin of Ham, "minimum 20% meat". So if it's labelled as Ham what is the other 80%? Scary stuff.
