There are some things you can do that won’t land you in jail but will get you silently removed from the group chat. You know those actions that are totally legal but radiate such strong villain origin story energy that everyone around you starts reevaluating their life choices? Whether it’s how you eat or how you behave in public, these perfectly lawful behaviors somehow manage to scream "run".

So when someone asked netizens about things that were legal but still made people look like complete psychopaths, the responses ranged from mildly unhinged social quirks to actions that feel like they should come with a background check. And, of course, we’ve gathered the most entertaining, eyebrow-raising, and side-eye-inducing examples for your scrolling pleasure.

    I'm sure I looked like I needed a strait jacket to my neighbors the other day when I was out scrubbing our deck with soap in the rain. I just really wanted to take advantage of the rain and not use hose water.

    Man wearing glasses and denim shirt, holding a mug and thoughtfully considering 32 legal and psychotic behaviors. Just sitting and thinking. People are so used to being glued to a device or some other type of escapism, I've lost count of the number of times I've been asked in public if I'm OK, when I'm just trying to chill out and enjoy a moment. (Thinking also of the guy who was arrested because he was sat enjoying a sunset).
