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!

Boys Wear Skirts On A Hot Day To School In Protest At Being Told They Were Not Allowed To Wear Shorts
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
Load More Replies...some parents are raising their boys right and that makes me so damn happy.
Good for them! Can’t see why they aren’t allowed to wear smart shorts in hot weather.
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.

I don't get how rules like there are legal. Even if it's temporary and local, doesn't that counts as monopoly?
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.

Load More Replies...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.
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...

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 Sex Ed Teacher Couldn’t Demonstrate Proper Condom Use, So He Talked About Socks Instead
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.
Load More Replies...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
Why? I would want my kids to know all the ways they can protect themselves from sexual disease and pregnancy. We were told all about it in proper age. And I didn't get pregnant too early. 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.
Though I'm asexual and honestly couldn't care less about sex ed class, still, it shouldn't be repressed. It's rather important.

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.

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.

I hear where you're coming from. I agree to some extent.

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.
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!

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.
Did you roll it up and put it through the belt loops? Please tell me you just wrapped it, full size, around your torso to keep the pants up. You'd look like an Italian grandma's couch.
Load More Replies...Keep extra belts, ties, etc. in your locker. Rent them out or sell them to your forgetful classmates. You didn't hear it from me.
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.
My high school had a similar policy. A friend of mine wore a knotted extension cord once.

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.
Please be fair. Not all countries have the same way of doing things and there are people from many different countries on Bored Panda, not just the US. This isn't how it works for all.

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.
The American flag should stand straight up. You never dip the flag!
My mate used to do conference calls in a shirt and tie but no pants on, or his jogging bottoms etc as he worked from home. He thought one call had ended and so he got up and walked out the room in just his tighty whities. Needless to say he didn't secure that contract.
Respect the rule and do whatever you want ;-)
