30 Legal Things That Make You Feel Like A Criminal Whenever You Do Them

I wish BP wasn't so political. All politics do is make everyone angry and spark heated argument and it's all so dumb... can't we just agree to disagree and get along?

Sorry, it’s for real this time...

Hands at ten and two. Checking mirrors...sweating...

Literally! Every time I leave a gas station or store without buying anything I always freak out thinking that something magically showed up in my pocket and the alarm is gonna go off

Oh hell yes! Or going into a clothes shop wearing an item from the same store. "I haven't stolen it!"

Oh yes - the GUILT!

Like repay a debt? Ideally you shouldn’t have to ask.

As a rad tech, I had the same reaction the first time I saw someone use a dewalt power tool in the OR

I always feel bad for this one too.

Right!? It's like, "no, I need an adult to come supervise this transaction. Wait, I'M supposed to be the adult here!?"

My sister-in-law caught our cousin cheating this way... large family gathering with his wife in the room and a sexy message pops up on his phone.

Especially if they take it off the mannequin so you can try it on (jail time lol)

Oh yeah, it’s like a test. Do they know the speed limit? Did it change and no one told you?? IS THIS A TRAP??

Also, it's easy to stray into private property

Yeah that one is a real pain, especially when I have a longer beard and get "randomly selected" for a search.

This feeling does take a long time to go away, like I was in my 30’s and still thinking “Am I really over 18? I guess I am” every time I clicked it. At this point I’m in my 40’s and don’t have a moment’s hesitation. “Over 18? Yep, and wish I could shave off a few years.”

At first I thought you had bathrooms that had like bathroom merch in them

Awww, c'mon. I'm still struggling to accept grammar like "That bell ain't gone ring..." via text. I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying really hard. Don't throw that at me when the user has a keyboard. I know, I'm coming off as some antiquated grammar nazi. FWIW I'm sorry, but at least meet me halfway!

Ha! Totally. 4x the size and weight of a normal car. Good lucks

Nah - that just felt like freedom!!

That's so sad.

Not taking it home adds another layer of guilt

It's so scary that people feel it's wrong to buy condoms. It's about public health, really.

Actually...that might be illegal depending on the situation

I'm still using my student Adobe Suite 4 years after graduating. No guilt what so ever.

Nothing wrong with that at all

Yeah, but they'll catch you on the downhill.

Well, I don't know about other countries but in the UK, while there's no law against driving with interior lights on, if a police officer pulls you over and deems that your interior light to be a driving distraction they can ask you to turn it off or charge you with careless driving. ☹

I go to Costco on Sunday for this exact reason!! Samples are samples enjoy them

Now this is funny and relatable, and while it might not be illegal... “I DISMISS YOU NOT THE BELL!”

About 160km/h. Yeah, that's a common speed on the left lane... What scares me are the ones zipping by at noticeably more than 200km/h... that's so fast, they just turn up behind you, flash their lights (illegal!), drive up far too close (super dangerous at those speeds) and vanish ones you give them way (because you aren't ready to die yet). And politicians still insist that it doesn't contribute to accidents... sure, if people drove carefully and kept appropriate distance to other cars. And also if the speed differences weren't so crazy - trucks have to stick to 80km/h by law! And on the neighboring lane, some cars might come at 200km/h. I don't drive THAT fast, but I've had a few close calls where a car or truck switched lanes and didn't notice I was driving nearly twice as fast. And in the end, your average speed isn't nearly as impressive - you have to break hard when someone switches lanes. Plus more accidents and therefore traffic jams. The cost of going fast is going slow...

That’s where I do most of my BP posting...

Should be illegal, because i got fat that way.. Q.Q

Yes, but those UNO alliances are so fickle and fleeting...

Same thing with teachers

... it's certainly frowned upon

I was once trying to park my boyfriend's car orthogonally to a very small one way street with him drunkenly sitting next to me. Since I am only driving like twice a year if at all for the last ten years, I needed some time and attempts to get into the spot. Meanwhile a car turned into the street and had to wait, since I blocked the whole street. I was very self-confident to not get nervous and possibly hit the other cars around me.... until the car turned on its blue light. Still tried to stay confident while feeling the utter horror of blocking a police car in need to get to a crime scene. So when I was finished and the police car went by, my boyfriend got out, looked at the car and seriously started to complain that it wasn't precisely parked (it was, drunk boy).

Do this all the time. Didn't think anything of it.

Why would one film a police officer?

Is this "Lex" an unknown alias of my kid?

Not illegal but internalised sexism.

Why are you there though
