So, rules are guidelines created by individuals, communities, countries, what have you, which dictate a certain code of conduct among people and processes. These can vary based on social interactions, beliefs, governance, and the like.

The key idea behind following rules is to push away the tide of chaos and anarchy. Sure, they feel like restrictions, but they are the lesser of the two evils.

It's historical. In the Middle Ages tables were trestle tables, set up for meal times. Leaning your elbows on the table could flip the whole thing. Etiquette (almost) always has a functional background, and then it was simply made into a rule.

In the area of the UK where I live, grey squirrels are non native, and native red squirrels are endangered. It's not recommended to feed the squirrels, as you'd mainly be feeding the grey squirrels.

Background on that one: major reason red squirrels are endangered is that humans hunted/killed insane amounts of them. This made it easier fot grey ones to "take over". Important to know: in Germany, the same species of squirrels comes in all colors!!! So there are no "evil grey" squirrels in Germany.

K Tigress 9 months ago

You can catch them yourself. Get a live trap for small animals, place a small plank of wood on the trigger just so in there since you will need that. Squirrels are pretty crafty and will use their smallest buddies to cheat the system. At the back of the trap (the inside of course) tie a small net at the top with wire that will contain a few peanuts in shells and a small toasted peanut butter sandwich. You can get a small net from fruits and vegetables. This is necessary since this will make the squirrels work for their dinner. Don't forget to leave a trail of a few peanuts that leads to the opening. Remember to place that trap in a sheltered area from rain and sun. Such as a patio or near a wood pile. Some place where they frequent. Before you know it, the trap will catch the little bugger. But for the first time just set the trap for them to get use to it with food but tie the door to stay open. When you actually catch the little thief, cover the box with a towel for privacy.

As such, rules provide safety as they limit certain bad behaviors and possibly encourage good ones. Same goes with protecting those who are disadvantaged—rules provide safeguards that ensure certain rights and guarantees for people or groups considered vulnerable to particular factors and influences. In that sense, it evens out the playing field so that everyone could have equal opportunities. Oh, and rules also lay the groundwork for malicious compliance.

We live in the age of internet, borders don’t matter. If I wanna watch something that’s not on my version of Netflix, I’ll find it online at a pirate website. Most of the time they don’t even give me the option to watch it legally because it’s just not on any service in my country. In that case it’s on them, they only have themselves to blame.

FTR, this is a hill I’m willing to die on.

And if that’s not reason enough, there’s also the consequences of rule violations to make sure they aren’t violated. These vary depending on the severity of the offence—after all, littering and stealing, while both crimes, don’t seem like they are on the same level of damage done. And both can be contextual too, as throwing a paper wrapper in a public park isn’t the same as throwing plastic bags into the ocean, but you get the point.

In my area, we have an app and a service called Too Good to Go where restaurants make food that is left over at the end of the night available for people to pick up at low cost. Food that otherwise would’ve been thrown out but is perfectly edible and fine. You reserve it on the app and then go and pick it up at your designated time. With this, you can even sample food from very expensive restaurants at a much lower price! Sounds like a great idea to me.

But there’s also the other side of the coin. Why do people choose to disobey rules? Is it because taboos are fun to defy because of the reactions you get from folks, or is it because it’s time for change?

The idea of civil disobedience can shed light on an issue that would encourage debate, rethinking and subsequent change of unjust laws, ways of thinking in terms of ethics, morality, culture or social norms.

And while it can go a long way, there’s an important thing to note with civil disobedience: yes, you are breaking rules for a greater good, but your cause still has to be just and follow a standard of just behavior.

I'm too afraid to break this rule completely, because ultimately I do love my job, but every Friday when we have a "jeans day if you wear a school shirt," I just wear my jeans with whatever shirt I want. It's my tiny, miniscule, absolutely microscopic taste of rebellion, lol

Yes, but I still use my blinkers, even if I am the only person on the road. It is just a habit.

30 Times Folks Online Broke Rules Because They Made Zero Sense To Them Now that my company is forcing us to come into the office after 3.5 years of working remote, I have no qualms about cheating my time sheet. I take as many paid breaks as I want and punch myself in early regardless of what time I get there.

The way I see it, they cut my compensation by making me pay for lunch and train fare. I'm just evening the score.

30 Times Folks Online Broke Rules Because They Made Zero Sense To Them People say don't spoil your kids. F**k that, I break this rule constantly. They're great. Hard workers. Sweet. Gracious and generous. Good sharers. When they want something and I think they deserve it and it isn't some dumb toy or tchotchke, I will give/do it for them. Can be as simple as dropping what I'm doing to play catch, buying them something when we are at the store, giving in to McDonald's ice cream requests before dinner, signing them out of school early to surf with me and getting them big gifts at Christmas (surfboards/halfpipe/two person boogie board, etc). They are always so excited and I love seeing them smile and kicking it with them and giving them a good childhood. I feel lucky.

30 Times Folks Online Broke Rules Because They Made Zero Sense To Them I don't break the rule/law but I think it's ultimately idiotic and causes more accidents than it ever hoped to prevent. I drive a school bus and in NY we are mandated to stop at every railroad crossing whether it has gates and lights or not. It stems from an incident from 50 years ago where a driver ran a stop sign at a line that was hardly ever used. 50 years later, at least where I live, every crossing has gates and lights to prevent drivers from crossing, and I've never heard of one incident where someone was struck by a train because the gates didn't work. And today we have people who text while driving and are not looking where they are going. At least once a month our yard has an incident where a bus is rear ended at a RxR crossing. People are hurt, and thousands of dollars in damage are incurred. If it is so important to stop at RxR crossings, why don't parents do so in their private cars? There, I got that off my chest.

Being responsible for someone else’s children is what makes this a bit different than saying private cars don’t all do it so I’m not gonna do it when I have 100 little lives onboard. Even if it’s never going to result in a train incident, a cautious school bus driver is part of the gig.

I don't want to be greeted by unsupervised off-leash dogs, no matter how well-trained your furball is. It's uncomfortable because a strange dog is always a strange dog. Even though I'm not afraid of dogs, these people don't think at all about the people who are afraid.
