People That Followed Instructions Literally, And Failed


People that followed instructions literally, and ended up failing as a result | lan Reynolds @pumps1000 Replying AzureDoo and @WineMan147 kid my mother popped out while cooking. She boiling some potatoes. She said "Watch potatoes" as she left watched them. They burnt.

A recent Twitter thread inspired people to share those times of failure when they followed instructions literally, and then failures resulted. Communication can be a tricky thing. Just cause you're asking someone to do something in a way that makes sense to you, doesn't mean that the recipient of the instructions won't interpret your intention completely differently. And from there, we have a wonderful collection of fails.
