You know what they say – rules were made for a reason. Some of these have been codified and written into the constitution, although others are considered social norms and basic courtesy. Let us not forget what Monica of Friends, the show’s resident control freak, had to say about it: “Rules help control the fun.” Ain’t that the truth!
Caught Red-Handed: Here Are Incredible Photos Of Rule Breakers Doing Their Thing
While you might feel excited about a world without rules, in the beginning, you should realize that it is not what it is cut out to be. It is going to feel like a dystopia, trust us. Do you want us to convince you further? You might be a law-abiding citizen who respects etiquette, but there are other people who much prefer breaking the rules. These moments have been caught on tape, so what better thing to do than look at those photos? Let’s get to it.
Taking A Leap of Faith
These kids are either illiterate or they are just to cool for rules. The shallow body of water in front of them is considered a “no jumping or diving zone”, which everyone who can read already knows.
Taking A Leap of Faith
It seems like that is not enough to stop these daredevils from doing it anyway. We can only hope that they did not get hurt from all their antics.
Pooch By The Poolside
Do you see that sign right above that adorable pooch? Well, it failed to stop the lovely dog owner in this picture.
Pooch By The Poolside
Here she is as she smiled widely and struck a pose right beside the sign. Maybe she was trying to convince the lifeguards he isn’t a pet by putting a shirt on him!
Hands Off
The personnel who printed out this sign and propped it up was probably getting tired of cleaning the car after people put their hands all over it.
Hands Off
Even though we cannot see the face of this rulebreaker, we can already tell they were smiling mischievously as they put a single finger on the car. Simple, snarky, and effective!
Three Strikes
We are sure this little girl grew up to be a rebel! She deserves an award for “most rules ignored in a single photo”. What a great photo this is.
Three Strikes
She was ready to take a dip after going for a ride on her trusty bike with her best friend by her side. We doubt her plans changed after seeing this sign.
Crossing A Line
When someone crosses a line, it is a figurative way of saying that they are pushing the limit. Well, this guy decided to take it literally!
Crossing A Line
The cool guy you see in this photo did not only disobey the big red sign but even posed beside it while doing the rule-breaking. We just hope he did not get caught while doing this.
Gas Guzzler
You are not supposed to use random containers when it comes to storing gasoline from the gas station. However, this guy did not care!
Gas Guzzler
He ignored the warnings and filled his plastic bottle with it. This does not look safe at all – in any way you look at it. Let’s hope he doesn’t smoke cigarettes at the very least or he would be in for a big mess.
She Doesn’t Even Go Here
If you do not know how to drive, we won’t blame you for not knowing the intricacies of the road. However, there are certain things that are just common sense…
She Doesn’t Even Go Here
For example, everyone knows that one is not supposed to drive a plane on the road. This driver is lucky that the wings did not do any damage to other drivers. Do you have any idea where this fella’s going?
Escalator Etiquette
It is annoying when people do not make way for you on the escalator when you are in a rush. This woman took it to a different level, however.
Escalator Etiquette
Handrails are not called footrails for a reason. This woman was brave but also foolish. We just hope she was able to get off just in time.
A Little Too Literal
Well, this might just be the cheekiest thing we have ever seen. This duo saw the “No standing on shoulder” sign and decided it was time to poke fun at it. Kids these days seem fond of making everything a laughing matter!
A Little Too Literal
We find it impressive that the pair of rulebreakers had enough balance and strength to pull off this stunt. Do you think these two boys got caught when they did this?
No Snowmobiles Here
Why would a place that sees this much snow ban snowmobile? We do not know for certain, but we are sure they have a good reason to put such a rule in place.
No Snowmobiles Here
However, this fella here decided that he was immune to these rules. He clearly finds it easy enough to ignore the big glaring sign right there.
The Chair Lifter
We have already seen numerous people without any respect for the rules, but we have yet to see anyone make such an intense expression while at it.
The Chair Lifter
Do not move the chairs? Well, watch this guy do just that with reckless abandon. We don’t know where he is bringing the chair, but we hope that it does not hurt the seating arrangement for the event.
Dog Days Are Here
Everyone knows that dogs cannot read, so the person in charge of the place tried to communicate with them using signs. As you can see below, it still did not work.
Dog Days Are Here
The owner clearly did not mind breaking the rules. If they did, this hilarious photo would not have seen the light of day! We have to say we’re glad they did because this earned a chuckle out of us.
Do Not Fly A Kite
We are sure there is a reason the park personnel wanted to keep kites out from the area. However, the man decided that it does not matter to him
Do Not Fly A Kite
Let us just hope the rule was not put in place for a good reason. If there were endangered birds or low-flying aircraft in the area, he was going to be in big trouble.
A Cutlery Issue
The person who received this box was a literal rulebreaker. They saw their opportunity, and they took it! In all honesty, we would not be one to pass up a good joke either.
A Cutlery Issue
We are just glad it did not read, “DO NOT SPOON.” Otherwise, this would be one awkward picture…
Unlawful Entry
This photo was taken before this young man got an earful and a slap. It might be a funny joke, but he took it one step too far.
Unlawful Entry
It is not a good idea for men to enter the ladies’ restroom. If you ever have to do so, the least you can do is pray that there is no one inside.
Covering For A Friend In Need
When you see a “no dumping allowed” sign, it usually means that you are not allowed to leave your garbage bags there.
Covering For A Friend In Need
However, these two guys were more familiar with the other meaning of dumping. If anything, we are glad the blonde guy was a good enough friend to keep watch while his friend goes “#2”.
Down To A Tee
The sign in the photo means that pedestrians are not allowed to climb over or under the gate. If you didn’t know that, you would probably be confused by the unclear symbol.
Down To A Tee
He decided to mess around and take it literally. You can see him doing copying the stick figure’s pose!
Driving Down The Stairs
Stairs are made the help pedestrians go up and down an elevation. Cars don’t need them, but this owner wanted to do a little experiment.
Driving Down The Stairs
This was what happened to his car. Folks, streets were made for a reason. What a bizarre photo this is!
Piggyback On A Bus
There is something a little scary about the guts of the guy in this photo. We would never have thought about going on a moving bus by holding onto its back! It would be much safer to board it and get inside.
Piggyback On A Bus
Who knows, maybe bus fare was prohibitively expensive over there. Still, this doesn’t seem worth it!
Breakfast Brouhaha
Oh, this one is going to make both pancake and waffle fans angry. He took it way too far when he poured pancake syrup on his breakfast waffles!
Breakfast Brouhaha
Can he not read? It clearly says it is for pancakes. This madman needs to be stopped as soon as possible.
Queen Of The Road
The rules of the road are typically applied to road-legal vehicles. We really do not think that granny’s shopping scooter falls under this category.
Queen Of The Road
She’s an independent woman who does not need an Uber, that’s for sure. Do you think they can pull her over for something like this?
No Need To Pay
In this day and age, offering charging services is a great business idea. This is a fool-proof way to earn a little money on the side. However, you should be wary of wise guys like this lady here.
No Need To Pay
She was considering paying to plug her phone in when she saw a loophole. That’s smart but unfair!
Sofa Chairs On The Subway
This guy sure looks like he is comfortable right where he is. Perhaps he is not exactly breaking the rules. We do not recall any law against bringing a sofa chair on the train. Still, we don’t think it’s appropriate.
Sofa Chairs On The Subway
This is a person who does not care what others think of him. As long as he is comfy, he is all good.
A Laughing Matter
Rule-breaking is no laughing matter. However, that is not enough to prevent this real-life clown from entering the area surrounded by a bunch of “No Entry” signs.
A Laughing Matter
We are sure he would not feel confident about doing that on stilts if it said “Caution: Wet Floor”.
Cheating Up Close
Here is a vintage basketball clown game with an “Out of Order” sign on it. However, it looks like it is working perfectly based on the little boy who was going at it.
Cheating Up Close
We bet he got scolded by the arcade owner when he finally got noticed. That’s a new way to cheat!
Look Up And Keep Out
There are two signs here, and it seems like the couple has no problems breaking both of them. Nice.
Look Up And Keep Out
We have to say that it is not a very good idea to hanging around sites like this one, however. They were willing to take the risk. We can only hope that no debris fell on top of them.
That’s Illegal
The sign says no one can drink alcohol there. When people start drinking, no sign is going to stop ‘em!
That’s Illegal
This lady was brave enough to drink water right below the sign. It could be apple juice, but we doubt it.
Keep Your Eyes On The Prize
Does your driver like to look around and cover their eyes? Well, that is a good sign to get out of the car.
Keep Your Eyes On The Prize
In this day and age, people will do just about anything for the ‘gram. He probably thought, “Oh, ‘thank you for driving safely’? Well, watch me do this!” Folks, please do not follow in this guy’s footsteps!
The Meaning Of ‘Here’
Here is one more photo of a literal rulebreaker. “DO NOT WRITE HERE” is not hard to understand, right?
The Meaning Of Here
There are two ways to interpret this. This person decided to take the path less taken for a funny photo.
Doing Things Differently
There is no punishment for people who do this. However, that does not make it any less painful to see!
Doing Things Differently
While it is not against the law, we do not understand what monster would do such a thing. What a cruel world we live in.
Risking A Concussion
Are you the type of person who would see signs and then do the exact opposite? Well, you are a lot like this guy over here.
Risking A Concussion
The adventurous fella took the opportunity to do something ironic. We hope he landed on his feet!
Going Out For A Stroll
Look at the little rebel who managed to free herself from her stroller! Her parents looked away for a hot minute, and she immediately got up to take a walk.
Going Out For A Stroll
She did this while tied up! Who do you think took the picture? A concerned citizen or a chuckling father?
No What Now
Before you get any funny ideas, let us clarify first. We are sure this “Stop: No Butts” sign is about smokers throwing their cigarette butts on the street!
No What Now
This is yet another misunderstanding. The two women saw the sign and decided to play around with it.
Free Money For Tall People
While the bus does not take any cash, it does not mean there is no cash on board! Quite the opposite.
Free Money For Tall People
Some funnymen decided to prank the bus by tucking in a $20 bill on the top slot of the bus. If you are in need, you should start looking out for this specific bus. However, you need to be tall enough to get it.
You Can’t Sit With Us
We have no idea why this bench has a Europeans Only text on it. How does that even work? At any rate, this guy was not having it.
You Can’t Sit With Us
He was not European, but he was going to sit down there if he wants to. He even gave it the finger. In our opinion, the wooden bench deserves it.
Exception To The Rule
The pool was officially closed, but this guy desperately needed to take a dip! Rules? What rules?
Exception To The Rule
He was even prepared. Just look at his sunglasses and drink. He was clearly ready to spend all day there. Of course, this was only going to happen on the off-chance that security does not notice him.
Start Them Young
We bet his parents were somewhere in this slideshow. The toddler in the photo knew just the shirt to wear while he raids the fridge.
Start Them Young
That “I do what I want!” shirt is all we need to figure out that she is going to grow up a rulebreaker.
Hot And Cold
Wintertime is the last season you would want to wear a sports bra! We are not sure what these ladies were trying to do at the ski resort.
Hot And Cold
They look cool, and we mean that both literally and figuratively. Hopefully, it won’t become a trend.
Keys Keep Out
Any guesses what the sign meant? We bet it means that one should not drop their keys into the recycling bin. However, it is very hard to tell without the proper context!
Keys Keep Out
If we didn’t know this already, we would be impressed by his brazenness. A key in a no key zone? Gasp.
Stepping Up His Daredevil Game
Talk about another daredevil rulebreaker! There is a very good reason they banned inverted aerials on the slopes in the photo.
Stepping Up His Daredevil Game
Even we have to admit that it makes for a cool photo to pull a stunt like this beside a sign like that.
The Right Wrong Turn
As you can see, no one is supposed to turn right at this spot. The sign is big and bright enough to see!
The Right Wrong Turn
However, this did not prevent the driver from doing whatever their heart desired. No one likes to line up for a parking space but come on, man.
Pics Or It Didn’t Happen
Well, how were we supposed to convince other people that this sign exists if we didn’t snap a photo of it? We do not understand why they wanted to ban people from taking a photo in this area.
Pics Or It Didn’t Happen
Surely, no harm can come out of just a single snap. At least we hope so…
Only Do This In Video Games
The video game player here could not care less about rules. He wanted to bring a gun in a no gun zone, so he went ahead and did it.
Only Do This In Video Games
If you wanted to go against the rules without any repercussions, the virtual world is the way to do it.
Bird Breaking The Rules
Here is another photo in which the rulebreaker happens to be non-human. While it says no fishing, it did not apply to this bird!
Bird Breaking The Rules
This smart cookie knew that rules only apply to humans. Here is the cutie showing off his catch. Color us impressed.
Microwave And Metal Music
Who would have thought there were so many cheeky people in the world? This one wanted to show off his taste in music and show us some sass at the same time. If you ask us, he succeeded in doing both!
Microwave And Metal Music
Microwave and metal do not go well together, but we are sure they did not mean the music genre…
Get Down Now
The cleaning machine has a “Keep Off” sign for a reason. Clearly, men in sneakers like to hop on board.
Get Down Now
We hope they got off it just in time. It would suck to sustain an injury by falling off the cleaning machine! When that happens, you will figure out why that sign has been placed there.
Good Boy No More
Dogs are banned from the area inside the fence, but this pooch was not aware of this rule. Or was he?
Good Boy No More
Could he be a stray? Maybe. Could he be a runaway who wanted to break some rules after being a good boy all his life? That also sounds very possible.
Not In The Middle
Take a closer look and you will notice a handicapped placard hanging from the mirror of the vehicle. We do not know what the disability happens to be, but we think it might be time to pay the eye doctor a visit.
Not In The Middle
While they deserved a disabled parking slot, it seems like they overlooked where it was. Instead, they parked right in between the reserved spots! It would be bad if someone else needed to park there.
Running Away To The Runway
How on earth did this person even make his way all the way to the airport runway? How bizarre!
Running Away To The Runway
This is foolish, so don’t do it. We repeat, DO NOT DO IT. Folks, there is a time and place for everything.
Using The Toilet All Wrong
Who would have thought that there are people who do not know how to use a toilet? What makes this even worse is the fact that there is a helpful guide right outside the door.
Using The Toilet All Wrong
It seems like this man was not going to let anyone dictate the way he does his business. He will squat like this on top of the seat if he wants to, thank you very much.
