How hard it is to follow instructions?

How are often are we faced with instructions to do something, but we end up doing the opposite? Well I can’t really say how many because I know I am guilty of it, not one or twice, way too much.

At times we don’t follow instructions, wanting to be creative and claim that we were just taking the initiative that we’ve been told to follow. We also don’t follow instructions, because we just don’t listen.  We are never aware of the consequence that arises when we don’t follow instructions, especially of things that have to do with technology.

Not long ago I almost went back to a shop to return six litters long-life milk, because I realise with opening the first litter, that it was not sealed. I thought maybe a member of the family might have opened the milk, and forgot to put in the fridge, so I let it slide. However I still had questions. It happened that I open milk number two, and I had the same issue.  Now you can imagine my patience running way ahead of me, and me losing my cool. I decided to stay calm, and go back and make them aware of the problem with their lids.

To my surprise when I decided to look at the milk container at the back, the instructions were there. They actually say that when twisting the lid, it breaks the seal. So by the time I open the lid, the milk is good to be poured. Talk about failing to follow instructions.
