There are lots of things in the world we have to look out for. The "Dumb Ways" song laid it out for us pretty clearly more than 10 years ago. Yet, the Internet seems to find new dangers we should be aware of every other week. This time, we’re featuring submissions from people about the times they messed around and found out. One person online asked: “What, due to experience, do you know not to [mess] with?” And people came prepared with all sorts of stories and practical wisdom, from never engaging in road rage and never bothering a sleeping person to taking good care of your eyes.

Iguanas. This happened about 25 years ago on a rare cold South Florida morning. My dad (a big guy, with a soft spot for animals) found a "frozen" one in our backyard and decided to bring it inside (in a closed-off room) to warm up so that our dogs didn't get to it while it was offline. As soon as that thing warmed up, it was like a bat out of hell! Teeth, nails, and tail whipping cut him up pretty well. Eventually got it out with a broom, and all my dad muttered was "Ungrateful bastard" lol

EDIT:

Alright, this comment is getting more traction than I anticipated! Yes, I am aware that iguanas are an invasive species in FL. I am not aware if 25 years ago they were deemed as big of a threat as they are now and/or if that was as common knowledge back then.


What I DO know is that my dad took it as an opportunity to instill fascination and curiosity in me as a young child. He was able to safely show me its spines and talons, and explain that reptiles are cold-blooded and what that meant. Even more than the mini-science lesson, he showed me compassion for living things. Especially as a young child, I think I would have walked away with a very different impression if he just killed it. Would that have been the right thing to do? Maybe. But I think the happy memories and lessons I learned that day were more important than a single iguana being let free.

Intuition. If something feels wrong stop. It doesn't matter if it's stepping out onto a snow-covered slope, pulling up to a sketchy gas station, or putting too small of a piece of wood in a table router, listen when your brain tells you "This is a bad idea.".

Not finishing antibiotics. Just because you feel better doesn't mean you stop taking them.
