law

Everyone's sense of morality is different. Sometimes people steal stupid stuff for the thrill, or get caught up in extremely specific counterfeiting operations. None of these things are things any of us should be doing, but they still happen. And sometimes people only later learn that something is illegal after the fact.

People are dumb. You don't even need to see any classic facepalm moments of dumbness to know that. The interesting thing is that people are so reliably dumb that it's changed the reality of our world. Laws, warnings, products, industries and many other things exist because of human stupidity.

Being in a car accident is stressful enough. Throw on some fraudulent accident reports and you've got yourself a legal nightmare that this mom handled like a beast. For another tale of satisfying revenge, here is an entitled neighbor who chopped down a tree that ended up costing 700 K.

This chef was just trying to deliver some food to a law firm as usual when the power-tripping security guard got in the way. Luckily things got sorted out. For another work story, here's an Australian engineer who let a farm owner destroy his own car.

When this guy was faced with a dumb law getting in the way, this guy decided to fight back with a Cat. The logistics around tree removal can lead to some interesting drama. Here are some more loopholes clever people exploited.

We can't advocate speeding or lying to the police, or even deploying fart spray in your own car, but that's just what this guy is claiming to have done. Seems like it's not quite worth the price of making your car smell like the furious ghosts of a thousand asses. For more stories about people who skirted rules, here are loopholes that clever folks exploited.

Being understaffed and having a manager who refuses to do any extra work is a recipe for a bad day. When this employee was told they had to stay late just because their manager wasn't willing to help, they pulled a classic reverse Uno card move. There are a surprising amount of bad bosses out there, like this incompetent manager who threw away 40 computers. or this boss who told a guy to guard a spill.

Here's to those who took the idea of public service and kicked it up a notch. Here's a batch of cops protecting and serving in their communities. Kinda weird seeing them be cool and not asking you how fast you were going. For funny stories, here are some of the dumbest things people said to cops.

The dude has seen it all. These are our favorites:

If you've ever found yourself "accidentally" doing something illegal, it's easy to get paranoid and imagine there could be an authority figure behind any tree, corner, or about to pop out of a storm drain. Now imagine you're fishing illegally and you find yourself reeling in a fish and game warden, like a goddamn cartoon. On the other side of the spectrum, here are stories of 17 police officers encounters with criminal masterminds.

This one does not reflect well on the bank. This dude's brother went through years of extra work and thousands of documents in search of justice, and that's what he found.

When the world told these people, animals, and things to not do things, they did them, by gum. Not necessarily enough to get themselves in trouble, but more just for the thrill of breaking the rules. If you wanna see more people break the world in a way that it can be easily repaired by tomorrow, then here's more.

Whether you're driving a stolen car up to a police station or not covering your face while stealing security cameras, there are less embarrassing ways to get arrested. These people had some interesting stories to tell about idiots they know. Turns out people say some really stupid things around police.

Do you keep waving people in at a stop sign even though you have the right of way? Quit it. You should be predictable, not nice. Do you cut off faster drivers trying to merge? What's that all about? Here are some things dumbasses seem to forget about while driving.

You've got to get real specific when it comes to rules unless you want to deal with people finding ALL the loopholes. Outside of that, sometimes you end up confronting an entirely avoidable scenario that only came about because you told someone not to do the thing. See Prohibition era. 

Just because something is legal to do, does not mean it's the right thing to do. Here are some serious A-holes who sadly got what they wanted.
