"Don’t take anything literally! It was a joke." We have often come across people using this phrase. But when someone knowingly or unknowingly begins to take instructions too literally it is bound to create chaos. A hilarious Twitter thread about people misunderstanding simple instructions has gone viral on the micro-blogging platform.
Shared on Twitter by user @mideysmith and captioned, "Funny people taking instructions too literally," the thread contains several images showing funny instruction fails.
From putting icing on a cake ‘in purple’ to keeping one’s phone and wallet carefully under ‘watch’, the pictures are extremely hilarious and will surely make you giggle.
The first picture in the thread shows a car crashing through a wall of a pharmacy that has the words "Drive Thru" written on it.
While another picture shows a man tying a wrist watch with phone underneath it as the sign asked people to keep "valuables under watch".
In a third picture a man is seen touching the stem of a plant as the instruction reads "Touch only with eyes."
In one of the picture a man climbs the pole where the instruction reads "smoking area" with an arrow on the board.
Another hilarious picture showed a man putting his pet dog in bin as the sign read, "If your dog does a poo, please put it in the litter bin".
