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?

Vegetables are crapI wish vegetables came with instructions. When I first left home I looked like a right twat when I tried to cook garlic for the first time without taking the skin off.
My boyfriend went to Leeds market and bought some exotic vegetables from an asian vegetables stall. One of them looked like a spiny cucumber. We tried several ways of cooking it and it still tasted like melted plastic. I have searched books, the internet etc and I still have no idea what the hell this thing was.
I bought a bottle of hibiscus juice(!) from a farm shop and drank most of the bottle over a period of two weeks before I realised you weren't supposed to dilute it.
Yes I am now a middle class twat. I should have stuck to stuff you can only access with a tin opener. That always has instructions.
