Ignoring Instructions
When 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?

Hot
I'm 30 and you'd think I'd know better (the grave's already beckoning).....
Annyhoo
The toaster's a metal thing in a plasticky type housing - the plastic bit doesn't get hot - it must be magic! Now, just how hot does the metal bit get? Before my brain engages, I've leaned over to touch the metal bit - a second later abject pain registers and my finger's burnt horribly. Doh.
I'd like to say that's the only thing I've done - apply the same story to the oven, pan, microwave dish, oven dish, hot tap, kettle - and repeat at least once a month. Over and over and over.....
