30 Times Folks Online Broke Rules Because They Made Zero Sense To Them

The pervert next door was the nicest guy after he died.

Exactly! I am not going to pretend someone was completely different after their death than they were in life. People earn their reputations.

My DILs family is like that, she had an Uncle or Great Uncle that they were always talking down, DUIs, lots of domestic abuse, real white trashy, his poor wife, etc. Then one day poor wife got the c**p beat out of her by drunk him, again. She shot him and it was a couple of months in the hospital before he died. They were all of a sudden talking about what a cool old dude he was, a "Family Patriarch" and his crazy wife had always been violent(she hadn't). Screaming for her to get the death penalty. The whole bunch of them is more dramatic than a Telenovela.

I understood it to be because they could not defend themselves.

I used to think it was because they were so dang evil that they would cause me harm from the other side if I spoke about them. Then one day I spoke up, and my life has never been better. Would have done it earlier had I known.

I always gave my son mental health days. Also, it’s easier to make every single day of school when you’re in a settled home with every comfort and no drama. But how many days did you attend when circumstances were beyond your control and s****y? Did you have perfect attendance the time you didn’t have a ride to school after you missed the bus? Would you have perfect attendance when your mom and dad were fighting so much you weren’t able to even get out of bed? Did you have perfect attendance when you had to go and babysit your nieces and nephews because there was no one else available to do it? Did you miss school because you have to work and at a late shift and couldn’t wake up in the morning because you were exhausted? I don’t know, I can think of a lot of reasons kids might miss school that are perfectly legitimate and maybe out of their control.

This shouldn't even exist, for the very reasons raised here: it's just unfair.

Schools don't care about your kids health. They care about that seat being filled so they get money. Less attendance, less money.

It's like bring your kid to work day. It's more training on how to be a worker drone...in 'murica. I personally consider it child abuse to bring your kid to work. They are going to be doing it for the rest of their lives, should let them live free, while they still can.

I think kids should get awards for putting in THEIR best effort... not to be compared to other students. If every kid got praised for their progress/ accomplishments, no matter how small, it would make a massive difference in the lives of those who are otherwise marginalised...

I agree. There's less chance for the reader to misunderstand the intent without it. And while we're on the subject, who decided there should only be one space between sentences instead of two, like I was taught many years ago (on an actual typewriter)?

THANK YOU! Oxford comma buddies!

I go back and forth, but it really does look better with the Oxford comma.

Err, the whole point about it is that it's accepted that their is no standard "rule" about it - the Oxford press has a different house style than some others, hence the term.

Amen!!

I did that with a neglected cat that belonged to my grandmother's neighbor. My grandmother worried over the cat a lot when the neighbors would just leave it outside without food or water while they went on vacation. I was leaving her house one day when the kitty came over during another week long vacation. I swore my grandmother to secrecy, picked up the cat, and drove off. Sweetest little thing. White with brilliant blue eyes. Took it to a no-kill shelter (I'm allergic to them and already had dogs). A coworker adopted him and named him Sinatra.

You're technically saving more than stealing. You didn't want to have a pet for free, you wanted it to be taken good care of.

I did this with a young dog being sold privately they were really mistreating/abusing him in front of me so I said the dogs coming with me or I'm phoning the police. Free dog and he's now spoiled boy lol had him 5 years now .

A friend of mine stole a dog that way. Poor thing was tied to a tree 24/7. :(

My next door neighbours did this with their dog. They "stole" him coz he was being kept in a way too small cage. He is a super friendly over sized cuddle monster

Long live Pluto!!

VIVA LA PLUTO!!

Pluto has not even made a full revolution around the Sun since I have been born. Pluto has not made a full revolution around the Sun in any of our lives. It takes 248 years. Imagine the tragedy of everyone not making it to their first birthday.

No it isn't. It hasn't cleared it's field of orbit and there are other large objects in the Kuiper Belt, although not as large.

Uranus is a planet.

Who doesn't?! Sweatshirts and big purses were made for a reason.

Just argue of allergies to bring your own snack. They can't tell if it's real.

I bring my own things too. I always get a drink and popcorn but I like to nibble beef jerky, I've never seen one sell beef jerky so I'll bring my own.
