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!

And seriously, why the heck not?! Can anyone give ONE GOOD REASON why boys shouldn't wear skirts if they want to?

This was protest becouse in hot summer boys were not allowed to wear shorts, so they went to school in skirts (some of them icluded hakr bands and bows etc, to make it more funny) just to show government the irony. Skort is part of uniform, so no problem, but I think it helped and they are allowed to wear shorts now... Find it, it was last year in UK

This is happening in a couple of schools in the UK. They did this last year and are doing it again this summer. Stupid rules don't deserve any respect. Go for it guys!

Students in quite a lot of the schools in the UK have to wear a uniform of some kind or other. Some schools are quite strict trousers or skirt, shirt and tie and a blazer, this school did not allow short trousers, so their only option was to wear skirts during hot weather. As as as I remember the school agreed to review the uniform rules as a result of the boys protest.

    No, it doesn't. A music festival, or any kind of event, isn't the free market. If you own a business, you get to decide which company gets to sell coffee on company grounds. It's not the free market and the place isn't open to everyone.

    I honestly don't get this obession Americans and some westerners have with breast feeding. 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.

    Hayley Lightcap

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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...

    Not stone-aged. Hunter-gathers were egalitarian, to the best of our knowledge. This is actually quite modern, women being treated this way. (Seems to be getting worse on average with every century.) Before the revolution, women there were not treated this way in Iran. I encourage anyone to do a quick google of Iran and Afghanistan photos of women earlier in 20th century.

    A lot of these rules are made to prevent incidents. Unfortunately too often these rules are in place due to past incidents. I had a friend who went to a school with a history of rape culture so I can understand why some schools have these rules. Of course, I can also see why people find these rules stupid if they attend/ed a 'good' school.

    The law (here where I live) is actually that you must leave at least a 1,5 m distance between the tables and the street for people to walk. It can get ridiculous, with pedestrians having to walk on the middle of the street because the sidewalk is fully occupied by bar tables. In this case, I assume that the sidewalk is just too narrow for them to put those big tables there while keeping that rule.

    America (which I believe this post is from) is absolutely r******d. Sex is a natural thing all living creatures experience and evokes a lot of questions in young teens and adults. These questions need be answered in a responsible way. The fact that condoms are prohibited in a SEX ed class is ridiculous. Grow up America.

    Sex is 100% a natural thing but it goes beyond that, their seems to be a section of American society that want to deny their kids a proper education. by all means impart your morals/beliefs on your child, that's your right as a parent but let them know have access to information.

    As a defender of people's absolute right to practice their religion, I must say that studies have shown, again and AGAIN, that education about the process of reproduction DOES NOT INCREASE sexual activity among minors. In fact, minors who do NOT understand the basics of reproduction, disease prevention and the law are MUCH more likely to become a teen parent, contract and pass on a disease, or become the victim or perpetrator of a crime.

    Sex Ed in my Ohio suburban school was a JOKE! We had a great Science teacher who, in response to the horrible job the Health teacher did with Sex Ed, would include the reproductive system unit among the other body systems (circulatory, skeletal, renal, etc.) Not only did his approach completely remove the idea of sex being taboo, dirty, or adult topic only, but we actually understood so much more about how and why our bodies worked.

    Our sex education in Northern Norway was a field trip to our teacher's farm so we could see that this was so natural that the animals did it anywhere. Of course they explained the laws and stuff, like we are not allowed to find a random place in public and have sex like the animals did. We also got to be with when one of the cows gave birth and they explained everything during this too. I think it was a great way to teach us about the ways of life! Almost every sentence started with "just like the animals, we humans also do...". The teachers were so laid back and acted so "normal" that it wasn't akward (like it easily could be with a bunch of kids learning about sex) Although the best part was probably when this bully in my class fainted during the birth xD

Also, when my mom find out I have boyfriend, she took me to doctor and get doctor to prescribe contraception for me.

    kudos to this teacher for thinking out of the box! I had sex ed in 7th grade. Part of our gym class was health education. We actually learned alot. It was around 1985 we watched a quiet graphic video of childbirth and they did the whole condom on the banana thing and we got to do it too. Yes there were giggles if course, we were kids. But this is when AIDS was a big thing and not much was known about it, but we were taught what they knew at the time. It didn't make us all to out and want sex.

    I was an educator with Planned Parenthood for many years, and I do think this is brilliant. Whether he's shirking restrictive school rules that eschew sex ed realities, or just thinking on the fly, he's doing this in a way that is WAY less embarrassing to kids AND that simplifies the whole concept. They'll remember this much more clearly when faced with the real thing.

    My kid tested my patience with being grounded from electric devices. When he kept pulling out older devices and I caught him. I gave him a pile of books and turned the plugs upstairs off. Didn't really help at first. He would just sneak down stairs in the middle of the night and try to use a plug down stairs to charge them. In the end I found all of his stashed devices and grounded him from anything but going outside for the entire summer vacation. It seems funny when you describe it but it also shows how daring a kid not to do something doesn't really work.

    "Eco-friendly" translated into real world language: "I don't care that power to charge my car most likely does not come from renewable source and that production of my battery is extremely harmful to environment. I only care that all the pollution to sustain my "eco-friendly" car is removed from MY city".

    I hear where you're coming from. I agree to some extent. But the thing is, the electricity CAN come from renewables, so as electricity generation comes more and more from renewables, no change is needed to the vehicle. I wish we'd start moving more and more away from individual vehicles personally. Electric cars will not save us.

    Good idea but also a bad idea. In my country some people have died because some idiots have parked on illgal places and that has prevented ambulances, police and/or fire engines to go there. In most cases there is a good reason why parking is illegal at some places.

    Worked at pharmacy with corporate controlled thermostat and we would simply COOK in the summer. We attached a small clip on light pointing right at thermostat. When we wanted A/C to kick in, would just turn light on for a bit, fooling thermostat into "thinking" it was warmer that it was. Worked like a charm.

    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.

    Years ago, a friend and I went to Franklin, NC with her daughter to go gem mining. We went out to dinner, and my friend ordered a beer; I was driving, so I didn't. When we got the bill, there was no charge on it for the beer. My friend felt she really HAD to do the right thing, since her daughter was along, and so she brought it to the waiter's attention. The waiter told us that it was a "dry" county, so it was against the law to sell her beer -- but they had found that, if they gave it away, people were responsible in their drinking and the goodwill they got more than offset the cost of the beer! Win-win for everyone!

    If the Mormons are against alcohol, wouldn't it make more sense - and be, um, more American, for Mormons to simply not drink alcohol in bars than to spend all that time/money on absurd alcohol laws? Can't the Mormon congregation be trusted to follow the tenets of their religion? ... yes, just being snarky.

    As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (fancy name for Mormons) i think the laws are dumb. Just cause i don’t drink doesn’t mean other people can’t make that choice. Our religion is literally based on the fact we all have agency and can make choices so i think it’s a little stupid but idk maybe someday when I’m in a position to make a change I will

    To avoid spilling a beverage. They meant a cup with a lid and a straw. Requiring a screw top bottle, only opened whim taking a drink, is a better idea.

    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.

    So the school has a uniform policy that requires a belt, probably told the entire student body that was the rule at the start of the school year - yet students are still so completely brain dead that they forget? Can't decide who's dumber, the kid that can't remember something as mind numbingly simple as wearing a belt, or it's parents that can't do a simple dress code check before the kid leaves home.

    A number of you seem to be completely missing the point: they don't actually want to sell any of this! They don't want to be bothered with it but have to offer something by law. That is why it is c**p stuff for a ridiculous price. I would imagine, it being a pub, that they also sell normal soft drinks at the bar, as mentioned at the bottom of the menu, for those who are driving etc.

    This one is stupid. My Princess had a major stroke at 19. Not everybody wants/needs/has room for a wheelchair. Especially when you're traveling long distances for specialists or treatments there's no room in the freaking car. If you call ahead MOST businesses, doctors and venues will arrange for a wheel chair, voot scooter or Scooty Puff waiting for you. I know retail often does it as well. At 4'9 and 110lbs a wheelchair wheels YOU. Seriously those things are bulky and heavy and if you need a wheel chair you clearly have some mobility issues. Call customer service ahead of your visit and they will park a store scooty in a free handi space.

    I'm pretty sure any building/zoning code requiring a setback (for whatever reason) is going to apply to flagpoles as well. Also, they would mostly likely have requirements for the maximum/minimum height and dimensions and materials for a flagpole... which this wouldn't meet.
