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?

Playing with knives....When I was given my first pen knife as a lad, my dad issued me with some stern instructions along the lines of:
1) NEVER run your finger along the blade
2) ALWAYS cut away from yourself.
Curious as to exactly how sharp the blade of the knife was, I ignored the first instruction within 24 hours of getting the knife and managed to slice open my thumb pretty nicely thankyou.
It took some years for me to ignore the second one in true style... trying to get some packing of a new dishwasher I slipped with the knife (which was clearly pointing AT me) and managed to plunge it into my forearm. It bloody hurt and it bled like a bastard... I guess Dad knew what he was talking about after all.
