30 Photos Showing People Taking Instructions Way Too Literally – And It’s Hilarious!

For the most part, the things we do revolve around instructions and rules given to us. But sometimes we tend to break the rules a bit and become more creative and imaginative enough to create new ones. For some people, however, following the rules is a must and when they do, they take it literally – way too literally.

Some people can be clever enough to follow instructions literally but there are those that are ridiculously stupid.

Below are photos showing how people can either stick to the rules or work around it.
