“Your Laws Can’t Contain Me”: 67 Times First-World Anarchists Broke The Rules Just For Fun (New Pics)
Some people live by the rules, others completely obliterate them and think absolutely nothing of doing so. These rebels aren't going as far as toppling governments, or burning down buildings. They're doing just enough to go against the grain and make a statement without causing danger or destruction.
It's the pup who rips off a "no dogs" sign and carries it down the road in an act of paw-fect protest, it's the person drinking Pepsi out of a Dr Pepper cup, or the worker who fills the "forks" draw with dozens of plastic spoons. These are the first-world anarchists making life a little more chaotic and a lot more funny for the rest of us.
Their brilliance is often showcased in an online gallery dedicated to celebrating those who dare to scream, "I won't do what you tell me!" The First World Anarchists page is a wall of boldness ranging from petty to baffling to downright clever. Bored Panda has put together a compilation of their best posts to inspire you to treat the rules as simple suggestions every now and again.

A manhole cover has (arguably) 360 possible ways to go back in the hole. This has two. There's no excuse for this.

He's not 'vending'. He's providing beverages for the low donation price of a few coins in the exact amount he tells you.

A [sbarro Alcador Roadster] Seen In Berlin
Forrest Hobbs 6 months ago
Fair enough - that's in Berlin. They used the wrong language. (yes yes of course lots of Berliners understand English - so what? If you're going to put up a sign in Germany, write it in German even if you are going to translate it into English/French/Russian/whatnot for lazy and ignorant foreigners like me)

Out Of Control Over Here

We had some hot weather, so my rather dim manager, I'll call her Joyce, wedged all the fire doors open with bollards, like in the picture. Fire Brigade turned up to do a safety check, she had to keep them talking while I ran round our offices (three storey block)removing the obstructions!

Yeah, only: that's a warning sign put up because it's dangerous to swim there. Ignoring such signs is bad for the health.

As a retail worker, those are the totes that shipments arrive in XD Depending on whether or not they were checked in by receiving or not, or HOW they were checked in by receiving, you could really mess up some retail worker's day by taking the stock out of the totes and not off of the shelves. Usually the departmental employees are the ones who have to "check in" the totes' contents vs. the shipment list printouts XD

It’s a reusable container to put your water in. Does it really matter what is on the container?

Swimming Pool Rules
Forrest Hobbs 6 months ago
Yeah, that's another notice put up for safety. It's generally 'no diving' in such places because it's too shallow for diving to be safe - in this case, 5 feet / 1.52 m deep. Get it wrong, and you'll end up seriously injured, possibly paralysed from the neck down, or d3ad.

Yeah, great. If the vehicle in front has to brake unexpectedly for whatever reason, you'll crash into it. The good part is: you pay. I hate this kind of imbeciles. I usually reduce my speed to the minimum until they keep their distance.

I get so frustrated with rules sometimes. But I work in a ruler factory, so I just have to watch the clock inch towards finishing time.
