How often have you felt you’ve been observed by security when you left a store without buying anything? Let’s not even talk about the experience of purchasing a pregnancy test while NOT trying to conceive. These are just some of the awkward situations and things that feel illegal but aren’t that people face daily. And frankly, we’ve all been in weird situations where we felt like we shouldn’t be doing something, although there was, in fact, nothing wrong with it!

Hence, when someone on AskReddit asked, "What feels like a sin, but isn't?" thousands of people jumped on the thread to reveal the many odd and funny situations in which they felt they’d committed a vice, which, clearly, wasn't the case at all, ranging from things such as taking time off work, skipping a workout, and not leaving a tip to wearing Crocs in public. (Truthfully, the latter might be the 11th unwritten Commandment.)

Below, we've compiled some of the best answers from the thread, sharing things that feel illegal but aren't. Do you also feel the same about the examples left by the people? Let us know by giving them an upvote! Also, anything else you would like to add to the list featuring what feels illegal but isn't? Share your thoughts in the comments!

I once stepped on my cat going down the stairs, he freaked and ran forward taking my foot which was firmly on his back with him. Result was me doing impromptu splits landing on my a*s and sliding down the stairs, bump a tee, bump a tee, bump. He was angry at me, I found myself trying to console him all day, for nearly killing me. This is the power a cat has.

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Agreed. Not liking family is seen by many people as a sin, for which one should be ashamed. It's one of those society rules that can lead to people staying in toxic relationships, due to expectations. However, it seems, from what I've read, that it's more common now days. Psychology Today has articles that encourage lessening contact, or ending a relationship with family when it's causing you severe emotional pain. Typically, family estrangement happens after years of attempts to improve the relationship.

    Sounds like someone who grew up not being able to rely on others. Pick a specific person to take the risk with small things infrequently to build up your ability to allow (trust) others the chance to be of service to you (which is a love language.) It'll enhance your friendships/relationships and it will build your confidence/self esteem.

    To be assertive, to stand up for yourself and ask for things can definitely feel uncomfortable. It takes practice. You want to start when you're in a situation in which you have little to lose by being assertive. After a while, you can be more confident and be assertive in the riskiest of situations. But remember that being assertive and standing up for yourself are admirable qualities, while being aggressive and harming others to get what you want isn't a healthy way of behaving.

    Nothing wrong with enjoying the things you buy whether you just want them or need them. As long as you can also share with the people that actually need stuff. When you somehow end up in a spot like that ( by hurricane/war/flood / whatever) you would like that too. And hey - that can happen to all of us.

    I have chronic illnesses, chronic pain, chronic migraines, terrible insomnia as well as something like narcolepsy that my doctor and I are working on diagnosing, I'm physically disabled and use a wheelchair to get to and from school in Canada where we have *snow*, I have recently discovered our negligent landlord was poisoning us with carbon monoxide for two years, and I have some more serious illness or other that I am trying to get to the bottom of. I am sick a lot and can't teach or get to class a lot. I feel indescribably guilty every damn time. I have tons of evidence of my issues, including the fact that I am typing this between on and off pulling my guts out all day, and yet the imposter syndrome persists. So hard to convince myself I am not being selfish, even though I eve up teaching with at least a migraine more days than I don't.

    I had a very pregnant hair stylist once that got extremely scissor happy, completely butchered me, going way shorter than what I asked, as well as doing all of the things I specifically asked to NOT do. When she turned that chair around I could have cried. I very politely told her this was significantly shorter than I asked & that I did not want it "stacked in the back". She got so emotional & just insisted this was what I asked for (?!?!) Don't know what she heard or if I missed the memo on opposite day, but seeing her cry, even though I said it so politely, especially considering the circumstances-- I ended up having to calm HER & tell her it was okay, I'm not upset, it'll look exactly as I wanted it initially once it grows out a few more inches. Just WOW!

    My folks used to try to make me feel like the bad guy because I have nice things that they can’t afford because they have kids. I refuse to take on guilt for that. They need to redirect that anger at themselves for giving in to peer pressure and having kids because they felt obligated to.

    Depending on what you call a sin.... if you would happen to believe the Bible and God; yes, littering is a sin. And if you don't care for the Bible or God, it still remains a sin. So either way - stop littering, oke ?

    The thing is, the trash all goes to a landfill anyway, it's really just that if you litter on the street you'll see it whereas otherwise it goes where people can't see it. It's still there, still changing our environment, and still a problem (an invisible problem that no one has to think about because we cannot see it). I'm not saying that littering is fine, but the way trash is handled is not fine either.

    If it makes you feel better, I once lived RIGHT BESIDE a train track. (I almost gave up the apartment after the first night of trains passing all night, which the landlord had sworn wouldn't happen.) Within a week, I would wake up slightly when the train whistle blasted. Then I'd fall right back into a deep sleep. Humans adapt pretty well.

    Color theory class in college, my professor Mr Stevens asks a question and I have a different answer than the rest of the class. He says let's discuss it and that was basically 40 people telling me I was wrong and why I was wrong. I refused to change my answer and it turns out I was correct. He complimented me on holding out under such heavy criticism.

    So many cultures are toxic as regards fitness and they break down people's self esteem and make them exercise dependant. Identifying why you work out and working on that can help you shirk the guilt. Exercise should be a celebration of what the body can do rather than a means to an end to "fix" the body (weight/size/shape) or to avoid dealing with emotions.

So now, purely for cya purposes, everyone tells you not to so you can't sue them if you do it. Yes, the American court system will vote for"victims" to be compensated for their own stupidity and even if they were breaking the law when the injury happened. Like trespassing. Tort reform anyone?

    I frankly think most things labeled as charity are predatory. As another panda commented, companies take your donations and claim them as their own and use them to get HUGE tax write-offs. They are functionally pocketing the money they collect. It makes me so mad that they pressure normal people out of their hard earned dollars to give their CEOs and shareholders nice fat bonuses.

Sure, I absolutely love sitting at home feeling miserable, aching, exhausted beyond what is normal, living on the edge of poverty, having no purpose... it's just the best time ever!

    This is a particularly boomer attitude. It was a difficult adjustment for my parents to accept that my career is well-paying and almost impossible to do for 40 hours, five days a week. They were constantly saying things like, "you only work Monday, Wednesday and Thursday? You could find another job where you could work Tuesdays and Fridays". Now, after about 20 years, they see that it's perfectly okay, but it took some time.

    Falls are the direct line to my funny bone!!! As long as the person isn't hurt of course. I've taken quite a few hard L's and while lying on the ground I laugh to tears over what it looked like for people around me at various angles! It's just comedic gold and I'm not sorry! ... Again, only if the person isn't actually hurt!

    In-N-Out burgers & fries are superior to other fast food competitors. I loved it when they opened one in Las Vegas. Sitting under the overpass at one of their outside tables in Riverside, CA at sunset is a great place to enjoy such a meal.

    I get that. Depending on the store. Credit companies charge the retailer for every credit card transaction. It’s a tiny fee but it adds up. That’s why a lot of gas stations and privately owned business don’t take credit cards under a certain dollar amount

    Usually the shop has a sign saying the minimum amount accepted for card. Card is convenient so it's not clear if people tend to spend more using cards than cash and it makes up for the fees. After all, would shops ever have accepted cards if they didn't see an advantage?

    If you have no fees, and you get cash back, you should use the card. Also if you have a credit card for the purpose of establishing a credit rating,then you definitely should charge a small amount each month and pay the full amount off every single time.

    I did very well on my exams but still felt terrible for getting 29/40 marks in History. I felt like crying in the class when the results got announced and those marks don’t even have any impact on my overall percentage

    But the sweet section in the cinema isn’t just a sin, it should be classed as an actual crime. They cannot justify charging three times as much as a supermarket. But they still do it.

    Tipping culture has gotten out of hand. Be mad at the system that allows employers to pay servers 2 bucks an hour while steadily increasing prices. It shouldn’t be on the customers to subsidize a business’ wages.

    Nope.this is a sin. Absolutely. (In the USA.) Outside of the US it depends on whether or not the server's income is determined by tips or set. Some places don't do tips.

    Not a sin. Even fast food places have tip requests in their apps now. I'm not going to be guilt tripped into tipping.

    A friend once told me that she was taxed on her income, as if she was paid a 15% tip by every customer. Seems unfair to me.

    I was raised Southern Baptist in the south (Alabama, USA). It was considered a sin to drink - and dance and smoke - and to fish on Sundays. No kidding. I don't drink or smoke, but I moved to Washington D.C. in 10th grade, so I learned to dance. I never took up fishing, tho. 😂

    Nah, I was never really interested in drinking. I've seen too many people do stupid things while drunk that I never had a party phase or anything like that. The last time I did drink was on my 34th bday and definitely had too much with just a bottle of wine and a few shots of tequila!

    I got all of that out of the way well before I turned 18. Got drinking out of my system, going to clubs, going to raves. By the time I finished high school at 17, I was well and truly over it all.

    Yes. Original code that no one has ever written before only exists in extreme research or industry cases. Why reinvent the wheel? In 99.999% of cases its been done before.
