It’s important to have rules around. Everyone benefits from general order and knowing how things are done calms the inner anxiousness inside many of us.

However, not all rules are sound in terms of their reasoning. While all rules might have a reason, not all reasons might make sense, whether it’s logical, practical or any other -al. And that might cause some social issues. But more on that later.

Anyway, this in turn urges some to protest against the rule entirely, and these people have recently shared some of the rules that irked them something fierce—so much, in fact that they regularly break these rules because they fundamentally disagree with them.

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.

We had that at my first job, four restrooms each gendered. The ladies always just used the mens room since it was single use. I said i saw no issue and thought the signs were dumb like a neutral sign woulda been fine

I do like my lady restroom sometimes though. A good escape in clubs if you need to get away from a pushy man. Or a safe place at work where your coworker can safely staple the rip in your skirt 😅

"Get away from a pushy man" we really need to hold some members of society accountable, assault happens right in front of us in a dance club and the only answer is to escape to the bathroom. How is this acceptable? Speaking from experience.

As a man, the only difference I could even think of between males and females bathrooms are if they have urinals or not. I guess female bathrooms could also contain stuff like tampons and stuff, but idk.

The other day at Wendy's. I was waiting to use the rest room. Both were occupied. A older gentleman came out of the women's room. I said to him I understand you I identify as a woman today. By the time I came out of the restroom the mens was still occupied.

I walk into the men's all the time. If there are guys in there, I just tell them I identify as a man - for the next 5 minutes. Never had an objection. But I also don't stare, just walk into the cubicle and shut the door.

A woman got very mad that the bathrooms were gendered at the bar. (They had ordered unisex signs that very morning.) A friend asked for a show of hands "Who's taken a dump in the men's room?" Twenty ish hands go up. "Who's taken a dump in the women's room?" Twenty ish hands go up. Guess how many people were out there... :)

I never found it a problem if women in a nightclub used the men's toilets. There'd be 3 or 4 men pissing in the pots and 2 women would come bursting in to use the 2/3/4 vacant stalls. Neither did anybody else, it was normal.

The local ordinance where I live was changed during COVID. New restaurants are now required to have single stall restrooms with the number required dependent on how many people they can serve (more tables = more restrooms). I love it. Old restaurants are grandfathered in so they can still have men's and women's. However, if the license changes owners, they have to upgrade. Most mom and pop places don't mind because they just change the signs since they aren't required to have more than 2.

I have never understood the need to have separate restrooms in the first place. If either gender walks into either restroom there's nothing to see, it's not a locker room. The only explanation I can think of is that the Puritan blood still runs strong.

If I was on my period and changing tampons - I preferred no men around. Yes I clean my hands with tp but still I'd like to wash my hands without men knowing I just stuffed a tampon in me. That was when I was younger. I didn't want men (especially when you are a teenager you don't want boys) to know I wasbon my period. Now I don't care but that took about 25 years. Also the girls talk, asking for pads, crying without boys/men noticing etc... Some people like a bit more 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.

30 Times Folks Online Broke Rules Because They Made Zero Sense To Them I think Netflix and other streaming services should have the same contents worldwide. 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.

ETA: I know this isn’t Netflix’s fault, it’s the ppl that own the movies and series etc. They won’t get royalties when I watch it illegally, but if I can’t watch it in a legal way, they only have themselves to blame.

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.

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?

Civil disobedience is a great example of breaking rules in order to raise fundamental questions about anything from morality to civic obligation to government rule. All of this to drive needed social change.

30 Times Folks Online Broke Rules Because They Made Zero Sense To Them The assistant manager always wants you to serve old fries at the end of the night.

I don’t serve old, cold food. I get that you break down the fry station because it has to be cleaned. But placing a tray of fries on the sandwich warmer isn’t going to maintain taste and flavor. The fryer still works. On my shift you can trust I will get you fresh fries at 11:45 pm. Write me up. Idgaf. Ain’t nobody got time for cold fries.

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.

It’s actually in the name—civil disobedience.

It has to be civil. And by proxy, the reasons behind the disobedience have to be backed up with just behavior—one that aligns with fundamental moral principles with individuals accepting and bearing personal responsibility for their actions and choices.

The fact that a person is willing to stand by their choices and opinions, saying “no” to things they don’t believe in all the while adhering to that which is considered civil and human ultimately adds power to the protest.

30 Times Folks Online Broke Rules Because They Made Zero Sense To Them I'm a teacher, so we're not supposed to wear jeans. I think this is the most out-dated, nonsensical rule.

We know now that building relationships with students is the most important thing, and I truly believe that you are distancing yourself from kids if you come to school in some wack a*s "professional" office outfit. Who will a kid be more likely to bond with? Somebody who looks more like them!!

Also, I'm convinced that districts only keep this rule in place so that they can dangle a "jeans day!" in front of our faces every so often to try to keep us complacent. It's insulting.

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

But it doesn’t have to be on an epic scale to count, though. It’s crossing the street when there is no crossing, but neither are there any cars. It’s pirating something that you’ve previously paid for. It’s writing the Oxford comma despite heated debates among language purists. They are all breaking some form of rule, but the context allows for it in a non-threatening and non-harmful way. And all of that is in the hopes that something will change for the better.

For the first 5 or so years I was in the USAF, uniform rules mandated wearing backpacks on the left shoulder only. It was the dumbest and most useless rule I had ever seen in my life and obviously caused tons of problems for the wearer. I openly and defiantly broke this rule every single day and didn't care who saw it. I took a lot of flak for it but still did it. Someone, somewhere FINALLY changed it to allow both shoulders instead of just maintaining the status quo.

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.

When I was in university I handed in all my assignments at least a day late because the rule was only a 1% deduction per day capping at 10%.

Speed limits. They're more like speed suggestions, am I right? Especially at 3am. My car thinks it's a spaceship and honestly, who am I to crush its dreams?
