40+ Petty But Funny Times People Beat The System By Bending The Rules Just Enough To Win

Rules, rules, rules…

Look, lots of rules are important and we need them so there isn’t chaos, but a lot of rules are made by people who just want to be jerks. Or they just aren’t fun and need to be broken sometimes.

But rules are simply powerless against the human imagination and these are those funny times when a rule was in place, but these people (and animals) found a workaround.

Sweet, sweet victory.
