“What’s A Common Rule That You Break Regularly Because You Fundamentally Disagree With It?” (45 Answers) My state says I'm not allowed to provide alcohol to my own children until they are 21.

I will not let them be carted off to a bar on their 21st birthday unless they are already very familiar with alcohol and how different ABV% affects their bodies. I do not care what the law says, their first drink will come from me in the safety of their own home.

In a recent interview with Bored Panda, u/RGDJR shared that the thing that encouraged him to ask this particular question was a rule that he himself breaks on the regular. “I had just returned from some travel with a colleague and found that she and I differ on the need to put your phone into airplane mode before takeoff,” he said.

“She obeys this rule religiously. I, on the other hand, have never put my phone into airplane mode. My position is: if it's actually important, the airline wouldn't just ask people to do it, you'd need to show the flight attendant proof… or your phone would automatically switch to airplane mode when it sensed that you were moving at a certain speed. In any case, I don't buy that it's actually necessary. And it was this debate with my colleague that inspired the question. I was curious what other rules people break willingly.”

“What’s A Common Rule That You Break Regularly Because You Fundamentally Disagree With It?” (45 Answers) Tipping everywhere.

“What’s A Common Rule That You Break Regularly Because You Fundamentally Disagree With It?” (45 Answers) Lying on your resume. I’m not talking about completely lying that you worked at Google for 2 years when you didn’t. That’s a little much.

But in reality i have gaps between many jobs, due to either unemployment or just needing a damn break between jobs. but on my resume i have consecutively been employed with no gaps my entire career. I feel like recruiters see gaps as a red flag, and sometimes your resume doesn’t make it far enough to even explain the gaps, even if they’re completely harmless gaps.

In regard to background checks for new jobs I’ve personally still passed all of mine with no issues. To my knowledge the agency conducting the background checks can only verify information you give them yourself (not the employer). So I simply don’t provide exact dates, just the year I worked at whatever place. Of course this could backfire, but so far so good over here

Edit: I fundamentally disagree with it because employers lie about the job description all the time. What you actually end up doing rarely matches what they pitch you.

A good restaurant will bring all the food at one time, although it may take a waiter a couple of trips to serve everyone. In such a case it's still considered rude in most places to start eating before everyone else just because your plate came first. In less formal settings, especially at a larger table where it's clear that it may be more than a minute or two waiting it would be common courtesy for someone else to say "Oh don't wait for us, don't let it go cold" before starting to eat.

Using a VPN when traveling to China.

Technically it's illegal though many people, especially visitors from other countries could care less. And there's no way I'd play nice and obey that law and not be able to use Reddit and virtually every major US site and service when I'm there.

Wearing clothes.

Ill be naked in my own home and in my own backyard as often as I want.

If im on public land camping/hiking and don't expect to see anyone except the group of friends Im with? Im being comfortable and getting naked.

If others want to wear clothes, more power to them. I prefer not to and don't like that its become a fairly general concern that someone being naked in public means they're up to no good.

Go back 50 years and almost everywhere in the world casual nudity was much more normal and not the big crime north america seems to think it is recently.

Naked bodies are one of the very few things that literally every one has!

I’ll start. I’ve never used airplane mode on a flight. I just don’t believe that if there was a risk, they’d leave it up to passengers to do it on their own.

It's just being polite. Nothing wrong with it, but you don't have to say it if you don't want to.

Paying for the trolley. Straight up, the entire world is better off if I bum a trolley ride than if I pay to fill my car with petroleum and join the rest of you in traffic.

Doing this means that, in the long run, the system will stop due to people like you or that other people will have to pick up your fare in order for the system to continue to exist. Either way, why don't you get a bicycle then?

A writer here at Bored Panda, I am a lover of good music, good food, and good company, which makes food-related topics and feel-good stories my favorite ones to cover. Passionate about traveling and concerts, I constantly seek occasions to visit places yet personally unexplored. I also enjoy spending free time outdoors, trying out different sports—even if I don’t look too graceful at it—or socializing over a cup of coffee.

I'm a visual editor here at Bored Panda and I enjoy a good laugh. My work ranges from serious topics related to toxic work environments and relationship difficulties to humorous articles about online shopping fails and introvert memes. When I'm not at my work desk, checking if every single pixel is in the right place, I usually spend my free time playing board games, taking pictures, and watching documentaries

Some rules are not for the individual, but for population level risks. Putting oil down your sink appears to do no harm, but then everyone does it, and there's a massive fatberg. You think going 10km per hour over the limit harms no one, but everyone sticking to the limit reduces deaths by hundreds over the entire nation. You think you're not at risk so you don't get a vaccine, but then everyone does that, and we get polio back. We live in complex societies with complex results from simple actions.

I’m from Ohio, in the heart of “The” Ohio State University’s fandom, and I refuse to say “I-O!” after someone yells “O-H!”. Sometimes I’ll yell “Oh No!” In response to an “O-H!” specifically because it annoys people. I won’t do the O-H-I-O gestures either.

Hypothetically, in the past, I may have had gallons of "bourbon", "Irish whiskey", rye, and vodka I made myself. Could add different things like fresh vanilla beans or chilies for a little fun... hypothetically...

not discussing proper body part names and function like periods. all of my kids had the body parts and period talk from about the age of 2 when they would clamor to get into the bathroom with me. i refuse to raise girls ashamed of their body and i refuse to raise a son to think periods are gross or some big cosmic mystery. i will not gatekeep knowledge.

I ignore registering my dogs, especially if they are small dogs. My dogs, when I had them, never left the house unless they were being walked, on a leash. They don't pose a danger to anyone. Why do I have to pay the town to tell them I have a dog?

I don't wash my recycling (cans and bottles). I've got enough to do without washing my rubbish, and years ago I knew someone who was put into an asylum for doing things like washing her rubbish. It gets washed when it gets to the recycling centre anyway.

I keep my bananas in the fridge. I like them cold. And still a little green. I hate room temperature fully ripe bananas. I've been told that I'm doing it wrong, but damm it, it's the way I like them, why does it matter to anyone else?

Leaving one urinal open between 2 men? Why? If the closest one to the door is occupied, I'll take the second. If you're afraid I'll see your junque, take a stall. Or the owner of the place should have put dividers between them, as is the common thing in Europe.

Wow - I agreed with 95%. No to stealing rids on trolley, no to always observing the 5-second rule... I basically agreed with nearly everything else - I think that's my highest agreement with BP/Reddit posts ever. And I could add a few. Confiscatory taxation, for example.

If I'm at an intersection waiting to make a left hand turn and there's a red arrow and nobody is coming the other way? I'm so running that red arrow.

I will drive through a red left hand turn arrow (if the light to go straight is green), if it is safe to do it and no cops are in sight. In some areas they are at EVERY intersection, and are pointless. I'm not gonna wait 2 or 3 minutes when I can safely turn now.
