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?

Employee of the yearNot my story, but my uncle's. He worked in a factory where the job was very easy - connect the red wire on object 1 to the red wire on object 2. Connect the white wire on object 1 to the white wire on object 2. Connect the...you get it.
Except one of the men working alongside my uncle got kind of bored with this whole do-what-makes-perfect-sense thing. He decided, I'm gonna connect the red wire to the white wire, the green wire to the yellow wire.
By the time anyone realized what he was doing, several shipments had already been packed and sent off. The man was promptly sacked, but everyone had a good laugh at his stupidity.
When asked why he did it: "I wanted to see what happened."
He didn't apologize for length and neither will I.
