The Fire Marshal (or whatever your local equivalent is) yells at you. There's a certain margin of safety in the rated values of extension cords, so there may not be a problem at 20% overcurrent. However, if there is a problem and the cord melts, catches your lawn on fire, and burns down your house, won't you feel stupid? It's much better to use a properly rated cord.
