During a period of upheaval at the company where I worked, a number of office relocations were occurring. Having assisted with various moves, I considered myself quite the expert. So when I saw two colleagues struggling to carry a heavy desk up a flight of stairs, I went over and advised them that the desk would be much lighter if they removed
the drawers.
They duly took out the drawers. Then they balanced them on top of the desk and continued up the stairs.

My sister-in-law, a teacher, was pulled over for failing to come to a complete stop. The officer wrote out a ticket and
handed it to her with some advice: "Drive safe."
"Safely," she replied.
"What?" the officer asked.
"You've corrected my driving," she explained.
"Allow me to correct your grammar."
