Rules are necessary to maintain order and civil interactions. They are the guidelines to follow when the inner compass is conflicted or you’re simply unsure of how to behave. And even though most of the rules for public places have become commonsensical, once every blue moon, you may face something completely unexpected. A restriction that’s so oddly specific, you can’t help but wonder what happened here to have led to such a rule.
Bizarre public place regulations are a more common phenomenon than you might think. There’s even an entire subreddit dedicated to the best of them. For instance, a request asking people to yell out not a squirrel when returning books or a ban on playing volleyball at a certain time, in a certain direction. We have put some of the most interesting examples shared by the ‘Oddly Specific Rules’ community members onto this list for you today. Scroll down to find the peculiar rules and enjoy.

It Started Off So Polite
Rilmar 2 years ago
I despise dog owners who habitually refuse to PROPERLY clean after their dogs. By the way, I'd much prefer sheep turd than a dog one, I spent a lot of time on a farm and riding horses growing up and lemme tell you, herbivore turd actually smells significantly less vile than carnivore/omnivore turd

I just saw a story about a woman who rescued a dwarf pygmy horse foal. She had to drive a long way, so she had to stop at a motel for the night and keep it in the bed. They glossed over the best part of the story. Can you imagine what that reservation was like? "So, it said on the ad y'all are pet-friendly, right? Oh, good, because I brought my horse."

Well I’m proud of you for learning your lesson the first time.
These oddly specific rules have attracted a community of 4.5k members during the five years since its creation. Users of the subreddit share the most bizarre signs they come across; some seem to be jokes, others—not so much, which usually raises so many questions.
A few of these regulations seem to be based on certain past events, though. For instance, a sign on the piano saying ‘No Celine Dion’ probably means that someone’s heart (or ears, at least) can probably no longer go on. Similarly, a note by the single cheese slices, asking not to throw this type of dairy at children, is also pretty straightforward if you remember the 2019 trend of throwing it at babies.

This Question From My Job Application Still Confuses Me I Have No Idea How To Respond

“I’m under the age of 18 because I only have a Birthday once a year and it hasn’t been for 18 years yet.”

"See, when my parents hooked up with no birth control, it happened at a time that wasn't under my control since I didn't exist yet. But my dad's swimmers were persistent and prevailed. I do regret not being able to tell him to do this sooner so I'd be the age you want me to be now."
Some rules are no joke, though. When it comes to certain routine things in life, such as traffic, for instance, real chaos would ensue without them. Anyone who’s ever tried getting a driver’s license knows that being familiar with road traffic rules is as important as the actual know-how of driving a car. And I’m sure there’s no need to describe what streets would look like if everyone stopped following the commonly accepted order.

This Sign Posted At A Tatoo Artist’s Shop
Robert Beveridge 2 years ago
My 4 year old wanted to watch me get one of mine. I knew he wouldn't have the attention span, so I had BIL (who was a regular there) come with us. When little guy got bored, they went next door and got pizza and ice cream. His curiosity was satisfied and no one got annoyed.
CG 2 years ago
I can see why they wouldn't want kids to be present. The adult won't be able to pay attention to the kids (unless the other parent is there), they could be loud/disruptive to the artist/the recipient of the tattoo, and they could either hurt themselves if they run around, or bump into the artist/recipient of the tattoo, and mess up a piece that requires a lot of precision.

Load More Replies... Some regulations we follow every day are less obvious but important, nevertheless. Known as social norms, they encourage us to act respectfully and responsibly and allow for easier co-existence in a community.
The extent to which we tend to follow social norms differs from person to person. However, Scientific American pointed out that most of us abide by them because of a fear of some sort of punishment. Once it is removed, people tend to disregard such rules more.

That's from Vancouver Canada. I personally have been victim to said seagull gang. They've been in operation for as long as I can remember. They will openly stalk you and engage in scare tactics. And if you're not paying absolutely attention at all times, guarding your hotdog with your life and all weaponry, they will snatch the other end of the hotdog as you put one end in your mouth. Note that bodyguards of the canine or feline variety has no effect whatsoever on these terrorists. They simply are too powerful. Your best choice will be obtain hotdog, shove it in your gullet as fast as possible, or put said hotdog into some satchel and belt said satchel to your person then sweater over that (imagine attaching a bomb to yourself, act with such vigor). Only then might you some hope. Good luck and god speed have some

Similar signs were put up locally to me. It's surprising how many people go back and say seagulls stole my food. And then expecting more free food. The seagulls are aggressive little buggers.

Suby 2 years ago
In Kühlungsborn, a spa town on the Baltic Sea in Germany, there is a little fish shop that has both restaurant seating and a window where you can buy fish sandwiches. The seagulls hang out on the umbrellas and dive down to grab the sandwiches from unsuspecting patrons. I like to eat on the patio just to watch the winged thieves. The owner said some people think they trained the seagulls to do it, lol.
Games and sports are also areas that wouldn’t work without rules. Watching a group of people wander aimlessly around a soccer field or stand on the basketball court hugging the ball arguably wouldn’t be as popular as going to a sports game as it is now. (The alternative options sound as oddly specific and peculiar as most of the rules on the subreddit itself.)
Quite a few rules from the sports world could make it to theses redditors’ collection, though. (They might not all be odd, but some are definitely specific.) For example, polo professionals can’t play left-handed, wrestlers must carry a handkerchief with them, and women can’t have more than two buttons undone during a chess match.

Rules in the world of sports are there for obvious reasons. But it’s far from the only professional environment they are relevant at, as most other types of jobs follow some sort of regulations as well. Mind Tools emphasized that workplace guidelines help ensure the safety of the employees as well as protect the interests of the company.
Mind Tools also pointed out that in order for them to work they have to be reasonable. There shouldn’t be too many of them (counting bathroom breaks might be too much), nor too few (an overly relaxed environment is also not the best idea for a business). It’s also useful to explain why the rule is implemented and what are the consequences if it’s not followed.

Rules also play an important role when it comes to raising children. According to US News, they help kids understand what’s expected of them, whether at home, in school, or elsewhere. Setting certain limits or boundaries teaches them valuable skills that might be beneficial in the future, and keeps them safe and secure (despite how much they might not like them and how many temper tantrums they evoke).

I Wonder How Many Babies Got Hit Before They Put This Up
Mad Dragon 2 years ago
Probably stems from that short video of someone throwing a cheese slice onto a crying baby’s head, causing them to stop crying in surprise. Probably worked for a few seconds, but definitely not a viable long-term solution.
David 2 years ago
Agreed. For longer effectiveness you need a cheese sauce or sometimes canned spinach works if you "blop" it just right. Some folks use canned pump cheese but I feel that lacks class. If you have both a baby and a dog, maximum results can be obtained with peanut butter. Blop in head but not near eyes. Baby is surprised. Dog licks off peanut butter. Dog is happy. Dog tongue tickles baby. Baby laughs. Mess cleans itself up. With practice you can portion it so that you have time to go poop if you are quick about it.

I can confirm that people certainly do poo in the shower and people like my sister in law are left to clean it up. Disgusting. No need. If you want to poo in the shower,make sure its properly clean after

Better Have Your Poop Knife Handy

Use wooden ruler on sink counter to measure and chop as necessary. No poop on sink mirror. If toilet overflows, use foot to push any floaters towards floor drain, then push through grate with ruler. ... I bow to any of you who know ahead of time exactly what size your poop will be before it exits.

Don't Hold Your Breath
Islandchild 2 years ago
As a kid I used to float in the water face down and see how long I could hold my breath. It took a while for me to realise why it was freaking the adults out.
SCamp 2 years ago (edited)
Interesting fact: you can’t kill your self by holding your own breath (not underwater of course and not with something blocking your mouth, like a gag) - I mean you can’t close your mouth and stop breathing intending to die, your body won’t let you, at some point you’ll plosively breathe - it’s why people don’t die from sleep apnea itself, but you can get related issues like heart problems

TBF, they did say prolonged. When there is a life guard on duty it can be a stressor. Sometimes people pretend to "drown" to see if they can stay under long enough to worry the life guard. haha, fooled you, wasn't that funny. When I was a kid the local pool was olympic size and this one hard core dude would come practice his breath sometimes. We used to stop and watch him because he would swim down to the deep end and just lay on the bottom for close to 5 minutes. As kids we thought that was pretty amazing. I also wonder how he stayed down. If I hold a lot of air I float. He must have had super lean body mass or something. I never saw any weights.
A P 2 years ago
No, you just expel your air as you go down. The oxygen from that last breath is largely already entering your blood, and holding onto it won't buy you much time. There's also some mild hyperventilation you can do before hand to get more o2 in you temporarily (so I've heard, I'm not a doctor).

It’s true though. Especially people hyperventilating to try to stay underwater longer. I’m told the human breath reflex is triggered by high levels of CO2 in the blood, not low levels of oxygen. So by hyperventilating before diving you may pass out before feeling the urge to resurface. Definitely also happened to professional free divers trying to set records. Not a stupid sign.

This Toilet Is Special
Barbara Kayton 2 years ago
Wipes are absolutely not flushable, no matter what the manufacturer puts on it as a propaganda selling point. Ask any plumber, and any municipal sewer professional. They (and paper towels, etc) do not break down in the sewers properly, and create massive clogs. Combined with oils/fats that get put down the drain, they create actual “fatburgs” in the sewers. Takeaway point - only flush poop, pee, and toilet paper.

They mean turn off your wipers when it’s raining. Wipers fling excess water off to the sides of the car. Lots of people forget to turn them off while in a drive-thru. Which means anyone unlucky enough to be standing in that open window helping you will get drenched.

It has to do with consumer laws in the UK and EU. Objects like this that are intended to be used by or given to children under 14 are classed as toys and must undergo rigorous testing and comply with strict safety laws. Items intended for use by people over 14 or labelled as unsuitable for children under 14 are not classed as toys and do not need to be tested as thoroughly.
