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

I agree. I'm not a big breakfast food person. I usually eat leftovers from the fridge 😋

I believe you show respect to everyone until they show me they don't deserve it. Sometimes it happens within minutes of meeting people. You get what you give. And that includes how you treat others, not just me.

My daughter is 16, when we go for dinner I buy her a beer, or wine. Which she openly drinks because that's legal in UK. She loves Baileys also. She tends not to have a second because she doesn't like the way she feels.

Not this again. US and Europe have very different tipping cultures and we will only get into a fight over this.

What family would not do that? I am not going to buy my son the exact same game I have, just so he can play! What?

Ads are my personal red line. I block them wherever I can, esp on YT

I think this is one reason BP isn't as popular as it used to be. The number of ads is infuriating.

My own little protest is refusing to buy the thing if I can't skip the add after less than 10 seconds.

My sensory issues make ads on videos a serious no-no. Jarring jumps to entirely unrelated content that's usually loud, busy and very annoying does not work well with me! It's enough to make me boycott a product that does that to me. I still won't go to Arby's after their annoying ads from about 15 years ago were briefly impossible for me to block!

As I read this, an ad popped up here on BP. 🙄

I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in years. Of course I do something silly and give them $10 a month, because I cree better things to do with my time than figuring out the new way to block ads after they stopped the old ways from working.

I pay for YouTube premium because I hate ads that much. I watch a LOT of YouTube on my phone. If you don't it likely isn't worth it.

This is not sponsored in any way shape or form but you can use a browser app called brave that blocks all ads on yt and lets you run music in the background so basically free youtube premium

Fun fact ad blocking is a form of piracy. However with the way alot of things are going. Yar har a pirates life for thee

I have three ad blockers running on bored panda. They block, on average, 120+ ads per page. And then they post “shopping” articles and ads for pornography and influencers.

Ghostery is my friend.

Since YouTube don't block add on Chrome anymore, I use Brave, the same as my cellphone, to block any pubs. It really change facebook scrolling, eliminating all the useless advertisement, and show you how bad facebook have become.

I only agree with this if you are paying for a streaming service. If it's not free and they are running adds then they are double dipping and screw that.

Youtube is out of control with ads. They now insert them in the middle of everything. I've pretty much stopped using youtube because of the ads

I'd be happy to pay for YouTube Premium if not for one thing. I watch a lot of YouTube, and it's as valuable to me as Netflix. My issue is that with Premium, you are able to download videos to watch later. Yet, you still have to be connected to the internet. If I could watch them offline, it would make Premium 100% worth it for me.

I dont mind ads, people who throw a tantrum over them ans expect 100% free hosting and video services are utterly delusional and childish. All I want is when I block some of the most offensive, scammy and idiotic ads. For them to not f**king show them to me again. I dont care about some douchbags diet scams, or Raid Shadow Legends or Epoc times. Its incredibly offensive.

Pro-tip if you use a computer to stream: use one program for browsing and one for streaming. I use Chrome to surf the internet and Firefox to stream/access sensitive info. I have multiple ad blockers, but the real trick is a script blocker on Firefox like NoScript. You have to approve the correct scripts for websites to work correctly, but it allows you to strip out all the advertising c**p very effectively. The extension remembers what is allowed, and allows you to temporarily allow them, so you can click through the list and make sure you're only enabling the scripts that a website needs to work, but not track/advertise to you. It works EXTREMELY well

There's also a program called FreeTube for ad-free Youtube streaming. The website "Piped" should also work.

Anyone advertising automatically is a boycott candidate. I did not ask for you to pummel me with your product information. If I wanted to know about it, I would have asked. To force it on me is a sure way for me NOT to purchase your product.

It's disturbing how people seem to want a streaming business to provide their services that cost money, don't want to pay and then moan about ads. 21st century entitlement at its finest.

Ah, so I’m not the only one!

Different rules and expectations in different countries. Germans in particular are very keen on everyone waiting for the man to turn green before crossing, even if they ca see hundreds of metres in each direction that there's no road traffic. I don't follow suit and get some funny looks whenever I'm there.

Rules about pirating content, period.

If I see who dropped it I will return it to them, or if it's a whole wallet with id cards I'll hand it in. But just loose cash on the ground, nah.

100% AGREE! People need to be able to talk

It's better to not immediately make your bed so your mattress and blankets can air out.

Maybe pay them a living wage??

No need to do that with 99% of modern fabrics, but take care with new garments, particularly deep reds, as some may still not be colour-fast at least for the first few washes. Dark blue jeans as well.

I work in the video games industry and we're open about salaries, but people freak out if you start talking about unionization. Legally we're allowed to say anything except directly tell people they should sign up for a card. But people act like it's taboo cause they're afraid of consequences from leadership

I just refuse to use Starbucks...

Where I live, you can still buy blueray and not pay a monthly fee for c**p shows.

That seems really weird. If you survived any cancer and are healthy, why would you need a special parking space? This seems more like PR and lip service to breast cancer awareness than it does practical or meaningful

"I met a girl in a bar. She said, you know you're wearing two different colored socks. I said, yeah, but to me they're the same because I go by THICKNESS." --Steven Wright

Like the two ladies beach volleyball teams that were fined for refusing to wear the ladies gear and instead wore what the men wear.

Grammar rules enables others to avoud misunderstandings AND learn a foreign language. You would not understand my English if I applied the grammar rules of my mothet tongue. That having said, it is very confusing that "they" is not solely plural anymore. I give up on quit ea lot of texts, because it is impossible to figure out how many people there are. You do you with your language, but for me "they" is more than 1.

Agreed. Luckily, I have flexible hours, so I can basically start whenever I want to as long as I do 8 hours a day (which is also stupid because I don't need 8 hours nor am I able to focus for 8 hours, but as per contract)

My grandson is not quite 3 & weighs close to 40 pounds. Granddaughter is 19 months and weighs 33 pounds. Neither are overweight, both in the 95th percentile. By age, granddaughter should be seated facing backwards, but she's too big. They're both very tall and big for their ages, and pediatrician says very healthy. You have to go by weight and height.

I have CIPN (chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy). I wear socks and slippers 24/7. Anything touching my feet causes pain. The socks protect my feet.

I don't put months either, especially if it was several years ago. It's old news.

Complete;y fallacious explanation, that's not the reason for the 'rule' at all. It comes more from the concept that if you do so you're hogging the table space and blocking yourself off from your table neighbours.
