      Luckily, I work safely in front of my computer, so no!

      But I do remember a funny story from my college days. We were performing some Chemistry experiment in the lab. The lab manual said something like, heat this chemical. I read that line, and started heating it. Sure enough, after a few minutes, the test-tube exploded. Thankfully none was hurt. The next line of the lab manual said, …only for a very short time, and very carefully.

      Moral of the story: always read the complete instruction 😉
