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?

TubeI'm the sort of person who obeys instructions as a rule, like "walk on the left" or "stand on the right". As a result I feel that people who don't are SCUM and deserve everything they get (If you ever get shoved aside walking the wrong way down a tube corridor, its probably me)*.
But it's the blokes who walk along the yellow line that really get to me. I have stood on said line myself, with a train pulling out, mere inches from painful electric death. And there's still some pratt who decides to chance it by walking between me and the fast train/now sucking gap, rather than wait 5 seconds for the queue to clear. Obviously I don't move (queue behind me, and c.f. "SCUM" above), resulting in a cliffhanger-ish skip/hop as they try to manouvre in the six inches of space left.
