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?

christ...where to startwell...i have to be honest(sorry), i always read the instructions to anything...mainly because i don't want to screw up like everybody else does.....
one of my mates will buy a game(i don't know if this means all games or just PS2 and xbox) and REFUSE to read the instructions...insisting he will "pick it up" easily enough....so five minutes in, he also ignores optional tutorials, and i've had to tell him how to 'jump that small hole' or what 'this button' really does and why he's about to die!
My brother does the same...but he immediately gets me to tell him how to play them (ie list controls and other important points)...i just let him suffer now
However...the biggest offender(and yes! it should be a criminal offence) is my mum.
she will bin every set of instructins she can find....including;my digital cam-corder instructions TWICE less than 2 days after i got it!!! she recently bought some garden lights(solar powered) and can't get one to work...i can't help her out because when i asked for the instructions...well what's the first thing she does with the set of instructions that came with it??? Yup! in the bin they go! How the fuck can anybody just refuse to read instructions for almost anything?!?
oh and everyone i work with purposefully ignores my simple instructions....because they know it annoys me!
edit:erm....sorry for the rant...it sounded funnier in my head
