Laws and rules are there for a reason, marks of orderly and successful societies that serve to keep us from descending into anarchy. However, some rules are just stupid and unnecessary. Smart and enterprising people know this, and refuse to bow to an unjust system.
And so they must find creative ways to bend the rules, free themselves from the shackles of oppression and get a taste of glorious freedom! We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of some of the best examples of this, times when people refused to lay down and decided to go their own way instead. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to vote for your faves!

I come from Somalia a strict Muslim country with strong traditional views (for most parts) and yet this is not taboo, you will see women breast feeding their children in the middle of the market or at the watering Wells and no one will bat an eye.
It's not really the breastfeeding itself. Breasts are a secondary sex organ so they're not seen as big of a deal in other countries. In America, breasts have been over-sexualized so their purpose of feeding young is overshadowed by their societal standard of sex.

Seriously, what's the problem with seeing an occasional nipple?! Anyone? And before you answer, why is it OK to see man-nipples?
I might be crucified for this, BUT. I come from a very conservative society, where the only time you will see a half-naked man is on the beach or in their own homes. Breastfeeding while out and about isn't really done, tho personally, I agree that if baby needs feeding, baby should be fed. That being said. A couple of years ago I moved to Britain for my studies, where this isn't an issue. Two weeks ago, I had to commute on a train that could have doubled as a sardine can. A lady hopped up with her child, with her entire breast hanging out, literally being taken out of her top, squeezing past by me. Sorry, but I've felt VERY uncomfortable. At least have the kid on it. Or not on a packed train, squishing your uncovered breast onto perfect strangers.
Load More Replies...That "Spanish" translation is horrendous! It says "If you need breast augment yourself please "cuver" (it's misspelled) thanks."
Yes, should say:"si necesitas dar seno, por favor cúbrete, gracias"
Load More Replies...Just... why does it make people so uncomfortable? At this point I'm seriously like, stop sexualising breasts, they're literally only meant for the baby
Actually, not "literally only" - that's a misapprehension. Breasts don't need to be made so prominent with fatty tissue to be functional for lactation. It's a peculiar human thing, and it's a sexual signal, so there really is a sexual aspect to human breasts. This doesn't detract though from the fact that their primary function is to feed a baby, and there should be no societal limitations on a mother's abilitiy to do exactly that.
Load More Replies...What is so wrong about being polite? I breast fed in public with a special scarf made for privacy. I was never uncomfortable, neither was my baby and i didn't make people in public place feel uncomfortable.
What does this have to do with politeness? If for some reason, I would be disgusted by bald heads, would it be necessary and "polite" of every man with no hair to cover his baldness just so I'm not offended? What's wrong with just not looking? I mean, people are so amazing at not looking at things they don't want to see. The drunkard on the street, the guy beating up his dog, the woman being mean and harsh towards her kids, the neighbor beating up their spouse, the woman who fainted, the guy who drops his litter right where he walks, the beggar asking for food... People "don't see" a lot of things all the time! But all of a sudden, there's a naked breast with a baby attached, and people lose the ability to just turn their heads? Yeah right...
Load More Replies...hahahahahaah it translate in spanish as if you need boob feeding and thats just wrong
To all the suckers out there that can't stand a view of a kid getting fed.. Now, if i were to deny YOU food and drink when YOU need it, you'd be a grumpy fsck and start screaming as well... The difference is that i can tell you to fsck off, but the kid would not give a cwap and carry on, so, let it have the grub, and it will be a peace on my ear, whereas you'd annoy the cwap out of me... and that usually don't end well. I have an understanding for the kid, not so much for your egoistic ego... DO you get it now, or?
Smart mom. She'd rather smother herself than her baby. If you are offended, don't look. Easy.
Copying off another post, still not funny but some people just love to display their breasts to everyone
This is my fave pic of all the pics I've ever seen from 6 years of internet
Stupid rule. It's NATURAL! Should we cover all the trees and flowers, too?
That Spanish translation is terrible by the way. It says something like "if you need to feed yourself breast please cove' thank you" (with all the mistakes and the nonsense).
Ummm did any of my Spanish speakers find something a bit off abou the "translation"? haha.. I mean.. Jajaja
i hate laws like that, boys can't wear shorts and women can't feed their baby in public
It’s not about being cool. It’s about feeding a hungry baby that would otherwise cry, a lot. And small babies l become hungry often and anywhere. If mom’s should only feed babies at home they would never leave the house. Your mom probably fed you the same way. Would she care who can see what if her baby is hungry crying? And btw, it’s absolutely natural.
Load More Replies...unpopular opinion: like people are more than uncomfortable looking at a couple having sex in public or someone showing his ding dong in front of everyone, there are many people out there uncomfortable looking at breast feeding. shouldn´t be to hart to cover this area, when you are in a public place, like i am wearing pants.
Sorry, but it’s not the same. In many cultures around the world it’s considered absolutely natural. The breasts’ first purpose is to feed a baby, just men see them in sexual context. Your mom breathed you too when you were hungry crying. Trust me, when a baby is crying, last thing you think about is modesty, all you care about is how to comfort the baby. Btw, you can’t see anything through baby’s head anyway, even without a cover, it’s like someone wearing a bikini top. It’s morenthe thought of it that people find uncomfortable.
Load More Replies...are you comfortable looking at my ding dong? no? guess what i am wearing pants. so if i am so kind to cover my genitals, cover your breast.
I'm sorry, do you feed children with your "ding dong"?

You Are To Assume The Role Of A Chinese Immigrant In 1870
Taken from another site. "My life here is very bad. The working circumstances are horrible and the advantages are few. But do not worry, each day there are only about ten people who are badly injured and I am very careful. We have opened a small store, and business isn’t bad. Although English is still mostly incomprehensible (to me), I can understand what these white people say. Hoping that we are successful! I will work hard here and take care of my health. Are you (plural: 你們) well? Miss you very much, and hope that we will see each other again."

This Utah Bar Is Legally Required To Offer Food To Customers
It's called the Zion Curtain. Here in Utah, Mormons hold most political offices. We have some of the craziest drinking laws in the US. In the 80's, bars were only allowed to serve beer and non-alcoholic mixers. You would go to the state run liquor store, buy your hard liquor and bring it to the bar. If you prefer shots, this was pretty economical as you just had to purchase 1 coke (or whatever) to drink there. Sometime in the late 80's or early 90's, they finally allowed liquor, but only in private clubs. Therefore to drink anything other than beer (and maybe wine), you had to buy an annual membership for each establishment you drank at. Of course n keeping with their "never let morality get in the way of a buck" mentality, when the Olympics came, they temporarily suspended these laws. Unless it has changed, besides the food thing, if a restaurant wants to serve liquor, the bar has to be hidden from view. Hence the Zion Curtain reference.

We Go To A School With A Uniform Policy That Requires A Belt. My Friend Forgot His Belt And Did This
I used to work in a restaurant kitchen and because there was no washing machine the staff had to wash their working clothes at home. Some of the staff often forgot their belt at home so it was quite common to see someone using cling film as belt. I thought that it was funny but then also I once forgot my belt and I had to use cling film to prevent my pants falling.
