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?

Let's see...
French teacher, when I was unable to locate my homework from the pile of paper on my desk: Tidy up those folders, you're so disorganised that if you don't sort everything out you WILL fail your exams! (I did not change my filing system. I got an A in French. Hah.)
Chemistry teacher: Only heat the solution to produce water of crystallisation. (Five minutes later little white crystals are pinging out of the crucible like popcorn, which I thought was hilarious.)
Various friends: You CANNOT go with him! He's way too old for you, he's arrogant, he's creepy... etc. (The one time I actually should have listened.)
Weirdo ex-best friend, now freaky stalker: I never want you to forget the fun we had in our lessons, and that I'll always love you to bits as a friend! (Aargh. Ignoring this one is very difficult, but ongoing.)
