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?

MicrowaveGot a microwave for my birthday, as you do. Decided to christen it by heating up a tesco microwave curry (bless the salty goodness) so got it set up without reading the instructions. There was this bit of cardboard inside the microwave so I tried to get it out, assuming it was just a stupid bit of packaging. It took me a good ten minutes with a knife to get this annoyingly thin piece of crap out of the thing as it was right at the back in the corner. Finally I managed to get it out by bending it out of position. I put the curry in, and it got horrifically burnt and stank the house out. I checked the instructions to see if I'd done anything wrong. In large letters at the top of the page it said:
'DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE FORMICA COVER FROM INSIDE THE MICROWAVE'.
Oh well, apparently the tumour wasn't malignant anyway.
