30 Times Idiots Did Something That Wasn’t Against The Rules So A Rule Was Created

last time i flew i had to pull my shirt up to the bottom of my bra and get swabbed for explosives in the TSA line and argue with the TSA about not xraying my insulin pump (it can destroy it) because there was some chatter in the early 2000s where someone discussed hiding explosives in a prosthetic leg. since then people have had their sterile medical supplies opened, have to remove mastectomy prostheses in public for inspection, a teen girl was forced to have her insulin pump xrayed and it messed up the dose calibration* to be nearly fatal. (*insulin pump dosing is calculated using the decay rate of a tiny TINY bit of radioactive material). to be clear: the prosthetic leg thing was a hypothetical discussion online between suspect individuals and as far as anyone knows, it was never actually put into action. it just triggered a whole cascade of additional scrutiny over medical devices/replacement body parts

Unlike in the UK where someone arrived at a hospital with a live WWII shell in his r.e.c.t.u.m. . .

We don't have to take off our shoes at airport security since a long time, do we?

They prefer to save their a**l virginity for Satan.

If someone is dumb enough to think it's a good idea to press a 240c hunk of high heat capacity metal against themselves....they're probably not big on "fancy letters" This kind of c**p is pure a*s covering on the part of manufactures/businesses, because somehow failing to state the obvious is grounds for a lawsuit, because judges, juries and lawyers refuse to laugh the kind of idiots that do this dumb $hit out of courtrooms.

One of my cousins used to iron her hair. 😖

I like the one on the toaster, Do Not Use In The Bathtub!! I know it is because electricity and water don't mix and it can be used for Sui*cide, but really now, who wants to make toast while taking a bath????!!!!????

Seriously America, it seems you can literally sue some company just for not accommodating f*****g common sense!

It's possible I've ironed something at the last minute after I was already wearing it. But I'm not so stupid that I put the iron against my skin. More like I spread my skirt out on the ironing board. Yes, I'm a horrible procrastinator. :)

My last company required all employees to work 8 hours + a 1 hour lunch break. Except you were heavily encouraged to take your lunch at your desk while working. So really, it was a 9 hour work day. One exception was that employees were allowed to go for a stroll after eating their lunch. This really meant a walk around the building (takes 10 minutes is you walk real slow). Not me, I took my 1 hour walk, every day. Found a 19th century cemetery nearby, and explored, listened to music. Lost 40 lbs in one year, found some really cool nooks in that graveyard, and enjoyed my break.

This would not work in Germany as you would need to have worked after your break to get it count as a break.

I think it's actually pretty rare to be free to choose your break in customer service positions. It's a shame one person ruined it in one of the few places where you could.

There's always that self-centered jerk of a person who will game the system and make everyone else's life hell.

Proper labour laws would prevent this. Here you have to take atleast 30 mins break after 4 hours of work. For both parties it's also the best.

Good thing he (I assume) did all those chin-ups. Strong arms are essential for swimming.

Again, simply codifying common sense that should never have needed mentioning.

That's some confusing ductwork. I wonder if that's AI

There's still time to label all brooms and mops with the "this does not actually fly" -sticker before halloween.

As a 7 year old, I had a very convincing dream in which flying was like floating in water, and if you just held your body the right way, you would be able to levitate. I spent several days jumping off the back of the sofa trying to duplicate the feeling before I finally admitted that it just doesn't work that way when you're awake. I still have the floating dreams.

"He's one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith. Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape"

But they don't say they're not bulletproof. Can't wait to test my Batman's cape.

I talked my little brother into jumping off the shed with an umbrella. We seriously thought it would work.

I used to complain when shopping in baby warehouse that there were many running/lying around in the aisles, and some even crawling on the shelves, but could they let me know which babies were available for purchase please?! It was annoying having access to all the cute clothes/accessories etc and not being able to get an actual baby, and it was called baby warehouse after all. Gotta say when you're trying hard to have one of your own and others are neglecting and under appreciating theirs it did always seem just a tad unfair... luckily 10years of "planning" finally paid off

That's why I buy my Lego tables from Wayfair.
