This is a question 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?

You know when they say
Don't open this without disconnecting the power supply?

I once forgot to unplug a small toaster before deciding I would finally open it up to find the source of that peculiar burning smell.

Please take note, any potential amateur electritians, the green and yellow wire is the earthing wire. It should be attached to the metal shell of whatever it is you're inadvisedly opening up.

Do not, under any circumstances, touch ANYTHING if the earthing wire is not attached to anything.

I still remember a distinct 'snap' and the very off-putting sense of having just chewed upon a piece of tinfoil with a mouth full of fillings.
