Some say that rules are meant to be broken, and so broken they will be, be it traffic regulations or the dos and don’ts of playing Uno. These are just a couple of examples of rules that some people break regularly. And while the reasons for doing that might differ with each person, some do it simply because they fundamentally disagree with them. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently shared what rules they refuse to follow, because of said reason, after redditor ‘RGDJR’ started a thread about it. Covering everything from orders and regulations to expectations and social norms, netizens assembled quite an extensive list of rules that, in their opinion, should be broken, so scroll down to find them, and see if you agree with any of them. Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with the person who started the thread, user RGDJR, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions.

“She obeys this rule religiously. I, on the other hand, have never put my phone into airplane mode. My position is: if it’s actually important, the airline wouldn’t just ask people to do it, you’d need to show the flight attendant proof… or your phone would automatically switch to airplane mode when it sensed that you were moving at a certain speed. In any case, I don’t buy that it’s actually necessary. And it was this debate with my colleague that inspired the question. I was curious what other rules people break willingly.”

“In fact, the top response is one that I’m aligned on wholeheartedly,” he said. “The idea that people shouldn’t discuss their salary with each other is bulls**t. Talking salary helps to ensure pay equity. I have a team of people who work for me and I would never dissuade them from talking about what they make.”

“Rules often exist for a very good reason. They help ensure a (generally) peaceful society. They deter criminal behavior that might endanger us. They guarantee that my football team is going to move 15 yards up the field if the opposing team is rough on our quarterback. That said, I don’t believe that all rules are entirely necessary. And as this post proved, a sizable population of redditors would agree.”
