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'tRun with something sticking out of your mouth; a flute cleaner in my case. I pushed open a door which was heavier than I expected: it slammed back in my face, and the flute cleaner (long thin metal pole) pierced the back of my throat.
Cycle drunk. I got attacked by the pavement. Twice. The second time broke my shoulder.
Piss off an old dog. Results in a biting and snide "told-you-sos" from parents.
Sniff hydrochloric acid. As others have already testified, it HURTS.
Do a celeidh with a sprained ankle.
Kick your elder, taller, heavier and meaner brother in the balls. Once he finally catches up, your life is officially ended.
Accuse your housemistress of gross incompetence. With another 5 months to go under her supervision. She has the power to make life hell.
Leave pr0n on the family computer.
Try to force a needle through a tough bit of leather using your teeth instead of a thimble. A long trip to casualty got me an x-ray that showed the swallowed half needle in my stomach. Another trip, 3 days later, showed no sign of it. It had, thankfully painlessly, passed through and back into the wide world.
Feed alka seltzer to the ducks on the village pond. All the stories are true.
Take life too seriously.
