Rules are made to be broken. You’ve probably heard this saying right? It’s the call of the rebel, a belief that rules stifle creativity and progress, that there is a need for boundaries to be pushed.
In our orderly world we’ve pretty much gotten living by the rules down to a tee. We stop at the red light, we pay our taxes and we tip the correct amounts in restaurants. Don’t we? Well most of us do at least. That makes those arbitrary acts of insurrection, no matter how trivial they may be, feel like a small victory against the system.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of people that rose up. First world anarchists that for a brief moment broke free from the shackles of mundane oppression. Check out the pics below, depicting hilariously brazen examples of malevolent mutiny that are guaranteed to make you chuckle. Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below and feel free to add you own to the list. Rise up!

Rebels On A Set
I just love Jensen and Jared. They act exactly like their characters would, especially Jensen as Dean xD
If I recall, they were on the set of Arrow and were like "man you guys are strict. Come to our set and eat and sleep all you want!"
you gotta love jensen and jared, they're acting exactly like their characters would xD
Omg, the eating guy's expression when he sees the sign is brilliant. Then the second person interrupts the nice atmosphere with: "Hey, why did you give me a sandwich? See? No sleeping and no food! No food means no sandwiches!" First guy: "No, it doesn't, unless they catch us."
The "eating guy"? Really! How can you not know Sam and Dean! They are superheroes!

I put a rainbow "coexist" bumper sticker on my vehicle. I live in a city with a whole bunch of religious nuts. I like seeing people pull in behind me at a stop light and have the whole pinched face religious disapproval I'm going to hell look. I also had to get a camera on board sign because some of them don't want to coexist and the amount of aggressive drivers increased. Tailgating, cutting me off, parking too close...and such. It has been an interesting social experiment though. I was wondering if I'd get aggression directed at me before I put it on, definitally have. Highly interesting and it's mixed men and women. Not young women though. I wonder what would happen if I added an equal rights/feminist one
I’m truly sorry that’s been your experience with Christians! They’re not living what I believe the Bible teaches. 😢
Load More Replies...Would have answered: It was Jesus who said "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself".
I really don't get our christianity repulsion from rainbow. Yeah, LGBTXQYZĄŚĆ and so on, are adopted this as their sign, but rainbow is what God did when the flood ended to show Noah his gonna be good now. For Christians this should be sign of our pact with God. Guess you need to read Bible to know this...
There is no god. A rainbow is refracted light through water vapor. There was no Noah, no ludicrous ark, and no global flood that wiped out everything.
