Following instructions is something that we need in life and itโs really essential. It applies not only to adults but also to children.
But we should always remember that giving instructions is also important. When we give commands, we have to make sure that they are not vague. We always need to be specific. If we wonโt make our instructions clear, the same scenarios below might happen to us, too.
Check them out here:
1. When brother did what you said but quite differently.


This lady told her brother that he could eat โhalfโ of her grapes. And when she was about to eat the rest, this is what she saw. What happened next is a bit predictable.
2. Should we commend him?


Making sign boards requires creativity and this employee is truly creative. Itโs just that he wrote a sign that is too funny for a coffee shop. I just hope that they offer great coffee.
3. How many is enough?


The uploader of this post recounted that his boss told him that he โwasnโt using enough Wet Floor signs while mopping.โ So this is what he did to prove him wrong.
4. So this is what extra frosting look like?!


What would you do when you asked for extra frosting and this is what you would receive? Well, for me, I would probably enjoy eating it. This woman shared that this is what her husband exactly gave her when she asked for extra frosting. Isnโt he sweet?
5. โI told my students to โInclude the word count in your essays'โ.


If I am the teacher of this student, I would probably laugh out loud. But this will serve as a reminder to always be more specific when giving instructions.
6. Was he being lazy or was just being funny?


This wife shared how her husband did what she was asking him to do. I could say that her husband got some sense of humor.
โAsked my husband to put the pillowcases on the pillows.โ
7. What a motivation!


When I was a student, my teachers would always remind us to make sure to read the instructions and follow them during exams. Because if students fail to do so, their answers might not be counted. But the way this student โfollowedโ the direction is quite funny. LOL.
8. Writing Problems


This student really followed the instruction. Itโs just that his answer would not be considered for sure. And we all know the reason why.
9. It turned out pretty cool.


The story behind this promo spoon from Kellogs is really hilarious. I believe that everyone should hear it.
โA few years ago, we (Kelloggโs) were having some promotional spoon designs mocked up. When the agency asked what we wanted on this latest version, we replied โJust the Kellogg logoโ. We got 200 of these delivered a week later.โ
10. โAs much as youโre allowed to give me.โ


This story is an example of a great friendship. No wonder this post on Reddit has gained hundreds of comments.
So hereโs the story:
โWent through the taco bell drive-thru with a friend. When asked if we wanted sauce, I said: โAs much as youโre allowed to give me.โ I may have made a mistake.โ
11. I find this cute.


He was asked to send a picture so thatโs what he did. Good thing the buyer clarified that what he needed was the photo of the car.
12. They literally added โprobablyโ.


This particular post on Twitter has gone extremely viral with more than 39,000 likes. Itโs because itโs not just a simple photo of a nametag. Thereโs actually a funny story behind it.
โRecently invited to speak at a conference and was asked which of my two affiliations I preferred to go on my name tag. Probably University of Central Lancashire, I replied. So thatโs what they put.โ
13. Just making sure


Most of us have seen โwatch stepโ or โwatch your stepsโ signs in public places. Of course, we should do it for our safety. But this guy is kind of funny as he literally โwatched stepโ.
14. I must say that itโs a great combination.


Grandmothers are naturally sweet and we are all aware of that. When we request something from them, they wonโt hesitate to give it to you. Just like this grandma who brought home the snacks that her grandchildren requested.
โMy wifeโs grandma likes to buy us snacks whenever she goes to the store so we asked her for some sour cream and onion chips. We were amused by what she came back with.โ
15. Sheโs undoubtedly a law-abiding citizen.


Following road signs is for our safety and everyone around us. So we should never neglect them. This lady is undoubtedly one of those law-abiding citizens, however, itโs just a little too much.
16. Obedient kids


Itโs a great thing for parents when their kids listen to them and obey what they say. Just like this parent who asked his children to place the toilet papers under the sink. Her children just did what he told them, itโs just that it was different from what he meant.
โTold my 3 and 4 yr olds to put the toilet paper under the sinkโฆ must be more specific next time.โ
17. The art of giving โnothingโ


This photo looks sweet until you find out the story behind it. It turned out the uploader asked for nothing but still received something sweet with the word โnothingโ on it.
โAsked for โnothingโ as dessert on a Disney cruise. Got this masterpiece.โ
18. Isnโt it too small?


When we request something from someone, we should make sure to be more specific. But when we are in restaurants, cafes or bars, we should check the sizes of what we order so we know what to expect and we wonโt get disappointed just like this one.
19. Good thing we love Elsa and Ana.


The story behind this cute bananas with Frozen really made me laugh. I really thank the uploader for sharing it online.
โI asked my wife to pick up some frozen fruit at the grocery store.โ
20. โLean against the pole for a pictureโ


When we ask someone to take a picture of us, itโs our responsibility to hear their suggestions out. They surely know the best poses as they are the ones who can see if it looks good on camera. So when this child was told by her parent to โlean against the pole for a pictureโ, this is what she did.
