What “rules” do you break?

[Anonymous]

I violated Rule III regularly when I was single.

I'm very obedient when it comes to actual rules and laws, but I've broken pretty much every social "rule", like dating only for fun/experience, not marrying, going out by myself, including to romantic restaurants.

I don't do PC.

Eff all that. It is just performative-theater and fake virtue signaling

There's not such thing as PC. And people haven't used that dumb term in twenty years,

My friend's dad is an accident reconstructionist, an engineer. When it's not clear how a car accident happened or who is at fault, he goes and evaluates and literally goes to the accident site and figures it out, then testifies. I was chatting with him once at a party, and asked what he's learned as a driver from doing this for so many years. He said "speed limits are there for a reason. Five miles over won't kill you, but ten will." I've adhered to that ever since.

Some of my underwear is 20 years old! I use it as "period panties." You would all be aghast at how infrequently I shower or do my laundry or change my sheets.

I never fill parking meters as my town doesn't enforce them and when they do the ticket is $20. I'll gladly pay $20 once a decade and just park and not worry.

I don't care that you are supposed to put your phone in airplane mode as soon as the doors close. Whatever.

I ignore all sorts of deadlines because people don't really care. If you send me an email that says "respond and do this thing I need by date X" I know you won't get me in trouble if I don't do it on time. Most deadlines aren't real and I have actual things to do first.

I wear white(ish) pants after Labor Day.

Can this thread be fun? I hope so...

What place still has parking meters that you fill with money?!

Post action sheets don’t get changed?

Baltimore still had these until last year. Now I just don’t pay the digital meters thst ask for your credit card. The verb was outdated, though, you are correct. I am ok with the grammar police and they come much more often on DCUM than any police in Baltimore.

Here to correct and serve

I'm a rule follower too. I think people who have a rule against eating out alone are crazy. I enjoy it just as much as a good meal out with family or friends. On my own, it's relaxing and quiet and I can choose exactly where I want to eat.

You’re only hurting yourself with that one. But fine by me, frees up appts for the rest of us!

I agree with the pp. Don't go looking for trouble.

I write thank you notes even if the giver was thanked in person.

I do not toss everything in my fridge when the power is out for more than 3? hours or whatever is recommended.

I also eat raw cookie dough.
