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?

"wear safety glasses whilst using this soldering iron at all times"
Nah.

Don't need to wear safety glasses, do I?

I was soldering two pieces of wire together, when i accidentally moved one of the wires, causing the other one to flick up, and with stunning accuracy, catapult hot solder into my right eye.

One trip to Manchester's Eye Hospital later, thankfully it had just slightly scratched my eye so all I needed to do was use some eye drops for a while. Didn't have to wear an eye patch.

Have I learnt my lesson? You bet.

I don't do soldering any more. ;)
