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?

Oh yeah...I was about 14. Off school, sick, and feeling pretty gruesome, my mum leaves me with some painkillers and says take them four-hourly. She meant take one every four hours. I thought she meant take four every hour. I managed eight in two hours before I passed out on the sofa, she found me a few hours later when she got in from work. If I'd managed to stay awake for just another hour I could have done some serious damage to my liver...
