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?

`Don't play with fire`.I was never very good with this one as a kid. One day, alone in the house, I decided I wanted to `age` some paper - y'know, cover it in coffee, burn the edges and make it nice and old-fashioned looking. God only knows WHY I felt I had to do this, having had no specific need for some aged paper but, when the urge takes you, eh? Taking my paper to the kitchen, I spark the hob and light it... And then I walk out of the kitchen, flaming paper in hand. I only realised this was a problem when it started burning toward my finger, panicked and legged it toward the kitchen. However, fire is faster than my wee legs so, it burned down to my fingers by the time I reached the bottom of the stairs and I flung it to the floor before running into the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water and tossing it over the offending pile of burning paper. Totally frazzled the carpet, left it all hard and rather horrid... So I decided to go and get my mum's razor and try and SHAVE it. Why not? Shaving didn't work, which lead to me sitting shamefaced at the bottom of the stairs for my parents to come home and yell at me, before claiming on insurance and getting the whole hall, living room and dining room refitted with new carpets. Bonus! Why am I not supposed to play with fire again?
