What You Should Not Ignore (Unless You’re a Masochist)

Don’t skip the Warning icons. They’re the ones flagged with the picture of a 19th-century bomb. They describe some things that you really shouldn’t do.

Out of respect for you, I don’t put advice like “Don’t smoke!” next to these icons. I figure that you’re an adult, and you can make your own lifestyle decisions. So I reserve the Warning icons for more urgent and immediate dangers — things akin to “Don’t smoke while you’re filling your car with gasoline.”

This icon is a friendly reminder to do something. Not to be too pushy, but it’s probably not a good idea to ignore these babies.
