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?

hot hobA few years back now, but once when I got home from work, my flatmate said she thought there was something wrong with our cooker.
She pointed at the middle of one of the (gas) rings and said "I think that bit there is too hot".
I very gingerly put my fingertips just above where I thought she was pointing and (as you do) to steady my hand, rested my palm on another part of the hob.
Screaming "Ahh fucking bollocks", etc, I leapt around the kitchen like a nutter 'cos my palm felt like it had been branded with a red hot iron...
...and it had (kindof), as when the pain eventually subsided, I then noticed that the metal bit I'd rested my palm on was clearly embossed with the word "HOT". Then I looked at my palm and it was neatly branded with the word "TOH". The brand took a few weeks to disappear!
