Laws and rules are there for a reason, marks of orderly and successful societies that serve to keep us from descending into anarchy. However, some rules are just stupid and unnecessary. Smart and enterprising people know this, and refuse to bow to an unjust system.
And so they must find creative ways to bend the rules, free themselves from the shackles of oppression and get a taste of glorious freedom! We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of some of the best examples of this, times when people refused to lay down and decided to go their own way instead. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to vote for your faves!

You Are To Assume The Role Of A Chinese Immigrant In 1870
Nor Atiqah 6 years ago
Taken from another site. "My life here is very bad. The working circumstances are horrible and the advantages are few. But do not worry, each day there are only about ten people who are badly injured and I am very careful. We have opened a small store, and business isn’t bad. Although English is still mostly incomprehensible (to me), I can understand what these white people say. Hoping that we are successful! I will work hard here and take care of my health. Are you (plural: 你們) well? Miss you very much, and hope that we will see each other again."

This Sex Ed Teacher Couldn’t Demonstrate Proper Condom Use, So He Talked About Socks Instead
Sander Vermeer 6 years ago
America (which I believe this post is from) is absolutely r******d. Sex is a natural thing all living creatures experience and evokes a lot of questions in young teens and adults. These questions need be answered in a responsible way. The fact that condoms are prohibited in a SEX ed class is ridiculous. Grow up America.

Only Allowed A Single Page Formula Sheet? Challenge Accepted
GlassOfWater 6 years ago
Someone in my class wrote a whole page in blue pen then wrote over the top in red pen. How did he read it? He'd brought those 3D glasses with one red and one blue lens! He'd switch between the lens to read each colour. Pure genius. The best part? The teacher allowed it!

This Utah Bar Is Legally Required To Offer Food To Customers
Jerry Mathers 6 years ago
It's called the Zion Curtain. Here in Utah, Mormons hold most political offices. We have some of the craziest drinking laws in the US. In the 80's, bars were only allowed to serve beer and non-alcoholic mixers. You would go to the state run liquor store, buy your hard liquor and bring it to the bar. If you prefer shots, this was pretty economical as you just had to purchase 1 coke (or whatever) to drink there. Sometime in the late 80's or early 90's, they finally allowed liquor, but only in private clubs. Therefore to drink anything other than beer (and maybe wine), you had to buy an annual membership for each establishment you drank at. Of course n keeping with their "never let morality get in the way of a buck" mentality, when the Olympics came, they temporarily suspended these laws. Unless it has changed, besides the food thing, if a restaurant wants to serve liquor, the bar has to be hidden from view. Hence the Zion Curtain reference.

We Go To A School With A Uniform Policy That Requires A Belt. My Friend Forgot His Belt And Did This
Bored Fox 6 years ago
I used to work in a restaurant kitchen and because there was no washing machine the staff had to wash their working clothes at home. Some of the staff often forgot their belt at home so it was quite common to see someone using cling film as belt. I thought that it was funny but then also I once forgot my belt and I had to use cling film to prevent my pants falling.

Told Her She Couldn't Walk On Lawns To Pick Flowers. She Found A Loophole
BobbyK 6 years ago
When we were MUCH younger and poorer, I did this with my wife when we lived in an apartment. We would go out late at nite flower picking. The "Rules" were simple : No stepping ONTO the property and Don't pick ALL the flowers, just every third/fourth one. We would roam the neighborhood until we had a nice size bouqet.

My mate used to do conference calls in a shirt and tie but no pants on, or his jogging bottoms etc as he worked from home. He thought one call had ended and so he got up and walked out the room in just his tighty whities. Needless to say he didn't secure that contract.
