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?

SCIENCE!Stupid girl in my class was working on the same science project as me. I had been cleaning petri whatsits, and was about to start on the tripod. "Has it cooled down?" I asked. "Yes" she said.
Cue sizzling sound as my thumbs and fingers' flesh boil against the hot metal.
We were always told to pay attention in the lab. i think "look up when you point to the tripod, it might be THE WRONG ONE" might come under that.
My brother's friend decided that the best way to check the temperature of the bunsen burner was to stick his face in it. I'm told there was a literal 'whoomph' sound as his eyebrows then hairline went up in flames, before his bright-spark partner put it out with the water that had been boiling above it moments before.
