People Who Decided They Were Above The Rules Of Society
"Anarchy in the U.K." may have been a popular rock song, but there are first-world anarchists walking among us every day. A little rebellion can be a good tool to make your life (and others' lives) a little more interesting.
Some people would even go so far as to argue that rules are made to broken. You might not be one of those people, but you can still appreciate the people who push the boundaries.

Hope For The Best, Prepare For The Worst
Just because you put your baby in a onesie that tells the world she is happy every day, it does not mean that she's going to live up to that. You have to be more realistic.
Laws Are Made To Be Broken
There's no law against telling people exactly what law you're trying to get around, though, as this pizzeria cleverly figured out. You always have to be looking for those loopholes.

Parents have to learn that if they're going to tell their child not to do something, there's a strong chance that they're going to do it anyway, so don't give them any ideas.
It Was Too Hard To Resist
With a continuous banner running through the arena telling people what they can't do, you're basically asking for someone to take a photo. How do they expect to monitor this many people at once, anyway?
They Were Asking For It
It's almost like they were looking to get caught. If you make a sign like that, there's no way that the cameraman is going to avoid flashing to you for at least a second.
Maybe He Didn't See The Sign
Theoretically, he could claim that he didn't actually see the sign telling him not to put his glasses on the table, thanks to the fact that he had already taken his glasses off to put them on the table...

Oh wait...this isn't a glass of wine, it's a gross looking martini that's been served in a white wine glass because those things are totally the same, right? Good thing this restaurant is here to save us.

The Container Was More Of A Suggestion
Anyone who actually purchases one of these banana-protecting Tupperware containers was already someone who lived by their own rules, so it shouldn't be that surprising that they would misuse it.
What do You Think That Tastes Like?
There are people out there who love makeup, we know this. But how many of them love it so much that they would just knock it back like Gatorade after a night of too much drinking?
He Started It

You expect to show up in someone's house after they brought you home to feed their family with and then tell them that they have to eat their vegetables mixed? Well, you've got another thing coming.

The Structural Integrity Is Compromised Now
"Asked my fiancé if he wanted a bite of my banana, got this back." Now you know that next time he asks for a bite, you should break him off a piece.

He may not own a car to park illegally in this zone, but he's still got his wits to get him through the day. That'll keep him entertained on the bus to work.
Can Bad Luck Cancel Itself Out?
Even if you're not superstitious, you've heard that you're supposed to avoid black cats or walking underneath ladders. This man decided to break all rules, so now he's only a little stitious.

What kind of establishment bans ice cream and dogs? We don't want to visit a place where we're not allowed to take a photo of our dog eating an ice cream cone.
Educational Anarchy
If you're going to break the rules, you might as well let everyone around you get a good laugh. Be clever enough about your anarchy and it'll be hard for anyone to be upset with you.
Points Have Been Made
Thousands of men may die from stubbornness but they'll also die proud of the fact that they never gave into or to succumbed to the will of someone else, so they'll die happy.

America may be the land of the free, but that also means that it's the land where you're free to do whatever you want or create whatever you want with a package of Skittles.
What're You Going To Do About It?
He may look small but we have no doubt that he's a mighty little guy and we're not going to be the person who starts a fight with a billygoat standing on some rocks.
You Can't Control Our Thoughts Too
Your dad may have told you that you're never allowed to touch the thermostat while living in his household but he can't tell you that you're not allowed to think about it. Nice try dad.

By All Means, Ignore The Sign
Which one of them do you think was the first person to lead the stair-sitting rebellion at Grand Central Station on this day? Someone had to be the first one. Our money is on the young women with their shopping bags.

A Toe Out Of Line
Why even bother putting up a sign like this? You're practically encouraging people to embrace their rebellious side and set foot on the grass. If you really wanted to keep them away, you'd rope it off.

The city might be able to control where you park your car, but we're a few years away from them being able to also control what you think about. You can think those thoughts all you want.

You want to teach your children autonomy and allow them to make their own decisions, but sometimes that means sitting back to watch them do something completely wrong, and you just have to deal with it.
