I knew a girl who was instructed to turn left at a roundabout, so she proceeded to turn left when merging into the roundabout.

Poor girl, fortunately everything was fine (she did fail, but no accidents) but that's a special kind of 'too literal' that loops back around to being dumb.

And that's why turn-by-turn navigation systems phrase it as "take the third exit from the roundabout" these days.

One of the work trucks used to have one that said "Go straight through the roundabout". It was pretty tempting sometimes to take it at its word...
