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?

Dont mess with power settings
Years ago while studying for an Advanced GNVQ in IT. The teacher gave us some old PC`s to mess with so we could have a look at hardware, take a PC apart etc... These were the old style pcs which had the voltage switch on the back of the power unit.

"Kids don't mess with the power switches" Shouts the teacher.
"Ok sir" snigger us students.

So later on we are testing the PC's again, the teacher gingerly plugs it all in and flicks the switch with his foot.
"BANG!!!" Blue flames shoot out the power unit and teacher goes white. Result.

We got a bollocking. Worth it thou.
