30 People Share Things That Feel Illegal Even Though They’re Perfectly Fine

And receiving subsidies, causing local businesses to shut down, polluting the local environment, destroying the job market...

Technically true. Because every single cent in taxes levied on a business owner is paid by the consumer. Every time taxes are raised or imposed, it's YOU that pays them. Think about that the next time you go to the polls.

Congressman and congresswomen,all lawyers, made sure their masters stayed rich do they could get donations and great jobs after leaving Congress.

What all the people fueling your rage on this issue fail to mention everytime is that a "billion dollar company" references the amount money it is worth on the stock market. It's not like said company is sitting on a pile of money worth billions. It may have absolutely $0 in actual positive money on hand and completely deal in turning one resource into another which is where it's "value" comes from. Also, the corporation exist as a taxable entity independent of the owners and operators. (Ie. The evil rich ppl you want to get). The CEOs and owners who shift their money overseas and use other loopholes to avoid taxation are the real enemy. The corporationa they own and manage are just cogs in the machine. So they distract you in your ignorance getting you all fired up and trying to take down middle American businesses for them with corporate taxes while they continue to sip drinks on their yachts with their actual money safely in the markets and in offshore accounts.

should definitely be illegal

I drove 25 miles per hour all the way home from the hospital. People behind me were not happy, but I was so afraid to drive with her in the car that first time.

I agree, my wife was clearly terrified, so I manned up and did the whole "it'll be fine, we got this covered", but was actually c**pping myself too.

I said the same thing. He was so tiny, and I was just terrified.

I'm adopted and my mom talked about this feeling (particularly the first time she took me to the doctor, the next day)

Yep, I expected to get kicked out of the nursery at any moment

Especially when you're told you're cheap for asking for it! Like "What, b****?! I'M the f'n cheap one?!"

My aunt used to say if you wanted to get somebody out of your life forever, loan them money. You can guarantee they will avoid you until the end of time because they're gonna assume, rightly, that you're gonna want to ask for the money back. I myself got rid of some real a**holes just by loaning them $20 and they dropped off the face of the Earth

They like to make you feel guilty, because if they wanted to borrow money from someone who disliked them enough to ask for it back, they would have asked the bank.

If they couldn't take care of their own money what makes you think they'll take care of your money?

Don't lend money... give it or don't part with it. Loaning is a curse for both of you

You really should shout "it's a miracle" just for the hell of it.

Yup. That’s what the media does. You can only have a wheelchair if you have the most devastating of problems. You cannot possibly need one if you’re, say, an 87 year old man who just isn’t supposed to stay standing for an hour.

I understand the feeling. I use crutches off and on because I have rheumatoid arthritis and Still's Disease. Some days my pain is manageable, some days it's not. On the days my pain isn't well managed, I use the crutches. I often wish I had a wheelchair, my house has the accessibility.

Whilst recovering from chemo, I used to push my wheelchair whilst my Dad walked beside me. The chair was there for when I got tired, as I had two flights of stairs to climb to get back to my apartment, and no lift! Don't remember too many funny looks, but it must've looked a bit weird.

I second this! I have a handicapped placard, i have cancer but am in 30s and look fine. Some days i can walk from back of lot, some days i utilize the front spots but when i do i get dirty looks. Im not explaining to judgemental strangers that my tumor pushed my lungs into a ball. I do hate it when people without the placards park in the spots and have called parking authority on them if belligerent.

This should be your first clue that you're underpaid

I have no idea where this weird idea comes from. I have been in full-time work for over forty years and I have never come across this. We have always openly discussed our earnings and still do. Is this something prevalent in the US, I wonder?

You can be fired for it where i live. They have you sign paperwork stating that you accept that they can fire you for no reason. Same batch of paperwork where you agree to follow safety standards (and then find out they make it almost impossible to follow safety standards, even moderately punish you for wasting company time, but since you signed the paperwork you can't sue them if you get injured because it's "your" fault since you signed the paperwork...)

I remember in my early days I was told that several times. Being young I believed it

The explanation one of my older jobs had for this was that since they were a multi-state contractor (work from home) who had multiple clients, positions, and employees from multiple states, they didn't want anyone talking about their wages except with the manager, at least not on the clock and in front of everyone. But it was pretty obvious that employees from different states were paid different based on, like, taxes and minimum wage laws.
