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?

Chemistry teacherMr Sinclair was a stop-gap teacher for standard grade chemistry, and was, as far as we could tell, a senial old leper.
So, practical experiments were always fun.
Can't remember the exact experiment but it involved some sort of foul smelling compound being heated in a test-tube by a bunsen burner. This needs a pyrex test tube as they are heat proof, or else the experiment is a tad dangerous. Unfortunately we were one pyrex short, but explaining this to Mr Sinclair just resorted in a long withering state and a saliva-filled explanation to 'git on wi' it, ya workshy twits, use a normal one'.
It exploded. Fairly spectacuarly. Mr Sinclair then yelled at us for not using a pyrex test tube.
But he's dead now.
