People in this popular Reddit thread realized this by accident. Their unfortunate “messed around and found out” stories range from learning that ducks can bite to discovering that poison ivy is actually poisonous. If you’re curious to know more about how this went down, scroll down below. We also reached out to AyrionUpaka, who started this discussion in the first place. You can find our interview with them below!

“It’s a fairly common saying I hear quite often. It’s a warning, and it got me thinking about what happened to those who chose not to heed the warning. This subreddit seemed like a great place to ask for a large and varied response. Although I really wasn’t expecting a response quite so large.”

“The playground teachers always warned us not to venture behind the outbuilding towards the back of the playground since it was dangerous back there.
One day, I heard a bunch of kids playing behind the building, and curiosity got the better of me, so I went to join them. Unfortunately, I wasn’t paying attention to where I was walking and found the “danger” when I accidentally stepped on a board with an upturned, rusty nail in it. The nail slid straight into my heel.
Almost immediately after, a teacher found us all, scolded us, and told us to come out. Another unfortunate part of the story is that they wrongly believed I was crying because I’d been caught breaking the rules, so they didn’t think to ask me if anything else was wrong. As a 6-year-old, I was shy and not very articulate, so it took them a fair while to figure out that I was actually injured. My mom was called, and I got to take the rest of the day off school, so it’s not an entirely unhappy ending.”

It reminded me of my own story that I shared above since both come from childhood misadventures. One of the ones I felt worse for was the guy who warned his opponent in a fight and was an expert in kickboxing. Poor guy. I think the responses on the post all showed a clear message that it is for sure best not to mess around and find out."
