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?

Now i think about it....I was never good at taking safety advice.
When I was given a catapault my dad told me not to aim it at people... Shortly after getting the thing, one of the lads on my road (who I was never a great fan of, a whiny little shit called Wayne) showed up a couple of gardens away and proceeded to taunt me with 'You can't get me, you can't get me...etc'
This obviously pissed me off, and made me decide I was going to at least try to get him.
I let fly, and the marble sized stone arched majestically through the air and caught him good and hard mid gut. The taunting stopped abruptly, and he bent double and fell off whatever he had been standing on.
The momentary elation disapeared pretty quickly as I realised
1) I might have killed him (well.. I was young... I panicked!)
2) If I hadn't killed him, I would be well and truly fucked if he blabbed to his parents.
I hadn't killed him (sadly, in hindsight...) and he did blab - the next day I got home from school to find dad sat at the table with my catapault in front of him and a very dark look on his face. He had already cut the elastic of the catapault.... eek
