30 Creepy Things That Are Actually Perfectly Legal, Pointed Out By Folks Online
Interview With Author
We humans are very weird creatures, when you think about it. We are all so different, but also, there are so many things about what we agree on. For example, using a urinal next to another person while there are many others available is very creepy and not normal. Or, for instance, standing on your porch in the middle of the night. You know, I am speaking about things which are legal and there are no rules forbidding them, but it still feels creepy and seeing somebody do it makes you feel uneasy.
Hold that thought, though, because recently one Redditor asked folks to name things which are perfectly legal but are creepy as hell. Community members shared many different weird things, starting from creating websites that count when celebrities turn 18, finishing with walking down the street with a glass of water. So buckle up, check out the best, or to be more specific, the creepiest things and write what makes you feel weird in the comments!

Child beauty pageants.
Asher Tye 2 years ago
Everytime I get talked to about "groomers" and "drag queens" I point to these abominations at which point I'm being lectures on "parental rights" and "why don't you want these girls to be empowered?". Empowered for what exactly?

Pageants in general need to be left in the past and we should definitely not encourage children to take part in them.

Yeah, totally not okay. I would recommend any parent that thinks this is okay to get psychologically evaluated (I'm not being sarcastic, for once). The mental health issues that go behind thinking it's okay (and that the parents actually desire) to have a crowd of adults JUDGE little ones and knowing that those types of events are chum in the waters for pervs....those parents need evaluated.

Not true. There are more rules about how much makeup they can use in each age group, but there are a lot of child beauty pageants in the UK. Some of them include babies. The whole thing actually started in Britain in the late 19th century.

Bored Panda got in touch with the author of this thread, u/ArpanMondal270, and he kindly agreed to share more insights behind the inspiration of this discussion and favorite responses.
“Much of the internet is repetition. Statistics say the same for the front page of the internet - Reddit.”
So the author says that claiming that this thread was an original creation of his would be a downright lie. However, all of our ideas come from somewhere else. “As Tarantino says, ‘I steal from every single movie.’ I stole it too and then edited. The original form was - 'What is something creepy but legal in the US?'" the Redditor shares.
“And at past 1AM when I was creeping around r/askreddit, the idea clicked. That's how I started that thread.”

What, you don’t remember being 18 - 21, going to the club with your friends, and seeing the inevitable creepy broken down old dude there, leaning against the bar—-for some reason always with their shirts unbuttoned way too low to show off their Italian Horn necklaces, thinking they’re still young studs of 18 - 21—-trying (oh so unsuccessfully) to hit on all the young girls? Really? I’m 62 now, and remember that creepy s**t really well from the early eighties. Almost every club seemed to have its own broken down old creep. If he had been someone’s dad or grandfather who was invited to come along, and who simply enjoyed being around the kids without getting creepy about it, it would’ve been really cool. But that wasn’t the case. The old guys I’m talking about weren’t harmless dads or granddads. They were broken down old creeps, who should’ve instead just gone somewhere that everyone was closer to their own age, that the girls my age at the time always avoided like the plague.

The laws about legal age keep getting confused with maturity, or not being a child. 13 used to be this magical age, and we still have celebrations for such among some communities. Put simply, it is an arbitrary number that either forces young mature people to be denied rights, or saddles immature people with adult responsibilities they are not ready for. We need better than this magic number dividing the protected from the unprotected.

Very misinformed. The internet is in fact, by definition, limited. There's only about 3.7 billion IPv4 addresses that can be used for public routing. A few large companies could conceivably own all of them, which would effectively block anyone else from hosting a website outside of their ecosystems. IPv6 would greatly resolve that limitation, but the corporations who currently own most of the IPv4 addresses have been deliberately slow to adopt IPv6 so they can maintain controll over most of the virtual real-estate.

I much prefer the latter. NO ONE should be able to marry, whether legally or in a religious ceremony, until they are their country’s age of majority.

I’d love to see people let mom’s be with less judgement. Everyone is doing the best they can and what they think is right.

Can’t we agree those are the parents we should be talking about, judging, and pushing to make changes?

Do you mean factually or in terms of how long is contact required in order for it to be an assault? In the former, then witness and participant statements, maybe video footage if it exists. If the latter, well that's an interpretation thing and who the hell knows? I'd argue the duration necessary to constitute assault is essentially instantaneous. But assault relies on two factors contact and intent. A slap is assault even if it takes less than a second, but it has to have intent. A slap that misses isn't assault but it could be attempted assault.

ॐBoyGanesh 2 years ago (edited)
This is iffy. Speculation is to consider or think about some thing. I speculate a lot of things and share them with others. If they think my considerations or ideas come from a place of absolute authority or fact, then they are fücking idiots. I often speculate that Tom Cruise smokes a mean pole & I can substantiate that with related pics & anecdotes. Doesn’t mean he does & definitely doesn’t mean you should take it as truth. There’s a difference between creating a false narrative based on assumption/speculation & actual libel. And it’s all in the wording. The problem is the masses’ limited understanding of that wording or any nuance for that matter.

I have a lot of family and friends who are neurodiverse. When I have seen some of them do this kind of thing and asked them about it they have said because it felt “right” - it was neat and tidy, didn’t leave gaps and was more visually “correct”. Not saying this is the case for more people but just thought you guys might find that little perspective from some people interesting.
Ken Beattie 2 years ago
I have one question, was the lady on the near end or the far end? If she was at the far end then it's (at first glance anyway) creepy. If she was at the close end I could imagine using the one next to her because he was too lazy to walk further. Slightly different reasoning (and unlikely when there are 30 treadmills to choose from) but he could be using a favourite machine, or one he knows works properly or one with a good view. At the gym I used to go to they only had four recumbent exercise bikes, both in pairs with a gap between the two pairs. The pairs on one side had a good view of the big TV on the wall, the other two didn't. In addition one of the two on the "bad view" side was actually faulty so adjusting the resistance didn't work properly. So effectively there were only three of them that worked and only two that I actually wanted to use (so I could watch the TV while I worked out).

Children modeling. The industry is creepy and bad.

All the way up until my daughter was ~10 I was constantly asked why I didn't sign her up for modelling, my ex-MIL badgered me constantly, even tried to set up a photoshoot and trick me to taking her. She could not understand I wanted my daughter to just have a childhood, I didn't want her to be critiqued on appearance before she could even walk, I wanted her to have a teenage life where she wasn't obsessing over her appearance. Not to mention pervs. All I ever got was "bUt ThInK aBoUt ThE mOnEy" - f**k that, her life and mental wellbeing was worth more than anything of monetary value.

Just basic - "Here's a cute kid wearing an outfit we hope you decide to purchase" kind of stuff. She wasn't Brook Shields level of famous, but AFAIK her experience was positive and fun. She has been an adult for several years now and I don't think she is modeling as an adult.

It doesn't need to be creepy. It *shouldn't* be inherently creepy. At least if we're just talking about the regular catalog type shots that show a normal, happy looking kid wearing the particular jacket or playing with the particular toys they're trying to sell. As long as it's not made to be creepy and the kid is not forced to diet/exercise to maintain some ridiculous body image and their hours are kept to a minimum it doesn't seem that bad.

Really specific, but this is my job, so I know about it. In the EU there is a lot of restrictions on how you handle animals for research (Directive 2010/63/EU).
But there is no restrictions on the kind of animal DATA you use for research, as long as you didn't collect the data from living animal subjects in an EU member state.
So you can USE data that was drawn from animals living in the most appalling conditions and in contravention with any and all animal welfare standards and its perfectly legal.

I don't see the problem here (except the problem, that data acquired by torturing animals shouldn't exist.) If the data is sound, it would be irresponsible not to use it.

How else could all those "not tested on animals" cosmetics and creams be assured their formula won't cause a reaction and a potential lawsuit against their company? They are using previously obtained animal data on their ingredients.
Sonja 2 years ago
Partly true. But lots of them test on humans who get paid to test them. And that's legal too. And lots of cosmetics do indeed use ingredients that have been used for so long that they are deemed safe or use ingredients that have sometimes in the past been tested on animals but here's the thing: I think it's immoral to use recent data to circumvent the no animal testing advertisement rules, but I feel it's unproblematic if the ingredients have been used for, let's say, several decades so that the fact that they've been used safely on humans for so long outweighs the forst research. And last: many modern companies do no longer use animal testing at all for one simple reason: it's not reliable. Even when the biology is very similar, animals react very differently to cosmetics than humans. There have been lots of cases where the animals have been fine and shown no reaction but humans did. So the true reason why so many companies stopped animal testing was simply liability.

Actually it is 100% true. It is a constitutionally protected right to film or photograph anything visible in a public space. There's no expectancy of privacy in public spaces. There are a lot of town and city ordinances against it. There are some state laws that prohibit filming or viewing into the home of other people. But the fact is, constitutional law trumps state laws, and city ordinances. Not to say it's ok, and that you won't get hassled for it, but the fact is, anything within view of a public street can be filmed/photographed, including the inside of your home.

Not really true. Laws vary but two generalized things I have read are intent and whether or not it can be seen with the naked eye. So for example if you are using a zoom or a telescope to see inside the window as opposed to what any normal person could see walking down the sidewalk that is not legal. And if you are intentionally aiming the cameras in the person's house. For example there have been court cases about person A pointed their house security cameras at the windows of their neighbor B. That is not legal even if the camera can see inside the house.

BW Gibson 2 years ago (edited)
Just curious, but why not? I'm trying to think of how it impinges on others, unless it's a crowded train/subway station platform where you're waiting. Again, the person may have physical ailments that preclude them from standing. I had to bring a small folding chair with me when I was crippled (hip dysplasia). Both standing and sitting were very difficultfor me, as my hip was literally coming out of the socket. but I found one particular chair that was small ,portable, and allowed me to sit at an angle that accommodated my hip , which couldn't bend to 45 degrees (think of a metal ball and socket, where if you pull it out a bit, it no longer rotates smoothly). So, yeah, I hated carrying that chair, it was embarrassing and a pain, but I needed it

Yeah. Severe back pain I had to carry a folding chair around with me on bus and train and supermarket. Lots of people, ten at least, complemented me on my system, wishing to do likewise.

Tell someone you dreamed of them
Sonja 2 years ago
It depends on context really. Hey Clara, I had the weirdest dream last night. You were in it. You tried to sell me ladybugs for my roses and tried to convince me investing in your company breeding them! Really weird. After that I dreamt I rode a cow to town and it was green! I really have no idea what went wrong there, must be the moon. Vs. Hey Clara, last night I dreamt we were married and you became my sex slave, wanna try it for real? One would be ok, one wouldn't.

What?! This was a line I used in High School! Be like " Damn, I had a dream about you last night..." then you get to see their reaction and go from there.

Spiders.

I like spiders. A lot. They always get a bad rap. Poor widdle spiders.

I take the spiders outside when my wife tells me to get rid of them. Hopefully they are tasting freedom, but personally, I appreciate having some in the house as they cut down on flying pests.

Why tf would spiders be illegal?! They are a vital part of the environment and they were there long before we were!

I believe it's a mathematical formula in which the number of legs a creature has increases its level of evil exponentially.

I actually find roaches way creepier than spiders personally. But centipedes can f right off!

Downvoters you're being mean. Spiders freak me out. I blame movies like Harry Potter and LOTR for reinforcing my fears. Also, Arachnophobia was allegedly a comedy, but it terrified me. I'm 52yo, btw.
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago
Yeah, I don’t like them either. It’s just like those two extra legs make them extra creepy.
Jesse Setliffe 2 years ago
That's true: there's no law about people being spiders. Take that, Jameson!

Standing on your own front porch and not moving at 3am
Sarah Stalder 2 years ago
Why all the downvotes? I mean, if there are flashing lights and emergency vehicles, that practically demands a porch-sit

during the summer I do this a lot if I can't sleep it's nice to just stand, breath in the fresh air and let your mind wander but I don't think I'm creepy...it's about intent

Most forms of continuous harassment are legal (such as persistently and deliberately misgendering someone who is clearly distressed by it, or harping on aspects of a person's appearance that they have no control over). It's considered rude and uncouth, but usually nobody says or does anything to actually stop the behavior from continuing. There are twisted individuals who exploit this social loophole to make life absolutely miserable for certain people with no repercussions of note.

1 more point should be added to the list: Not increasing salary wages or just giving 2-3% hike on current CTC. How are we expected to deal with annual inflation when the increments range from just 2 to 5%?
