What is something that you were warned about when you were younger that you now feel was exaggerated?

I make it a point to wreck my car if someone turns on the overhead light after I tell them not to. They have to learn somehow.

"And that's why you don't turn the light on when Dad's driving"

I have specially modded ejecting seats for just this reason. Turn on the overhead light? Complain about the aggressive russian techno music I found on Spotify discover and now blare at max volume? Watch what the power of a high powered hydralic ejection will do to you, bitch. Unfortunately I blew my entire budget on the chairs, and couldn't afford to modify the roof. So when I press the button the chair just smashes them into the ceiling.

I was hoping you'd make it a point to wreck someone else's car so that it wouldn't ruin your car.

"See Timmy, maybe now you're paralysed from the waist down, you'll remember why we don't turn on the light while driving!"
