This is a question 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?

This is a QotW answer chemistry
when younger, i had a chemistry set with experiments in stuff. was heating up some stuff in a little metal bowl once, over the cooker rather than the supplied bunsen burner cos i had no fuel.
paying special attention to the warning in the chemistry book "Do not touch, will be hot" (hey it was for kids) i removed the little bowl from the tripod using my tongs ... and then transferred it to my other hand.
took a couple of seconds before i threw it away, much skin hanging off fingers as a result.
