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?

"Do not open - no user serviceable parts within"
Unable to release the box from its moorings, I instead decided to take it apart and reach through it.

*BANG*
*pfft*
The first and only time I have seen a real-live mushroom cloud (albeit only 3" across).
