So many rules today though are just arse covering safety bollocks which are designed to be broked.
My favourite recent one was passing a processor working in the forest, big sign on the jib - KEEP BACK 300M
Not 30M, 300M ...really? Incase the driver is swinging a 200M long tree around on his 100M long boom perhaps?
I passed at a safe distance, good visibility, no other machinery around but the driver still appeared slightly miffed at me. 😕
wilfully neglecting the rules in my line of work will result in being NRB to the location (and thats a best case scenario)
Which they make for themselves within their groups, because they work, exactly like humans used to. So yeah, the analogy kind of does work.
Interesting - yes, I suppose the problem is when groups get too big, people stop thinking that the rules are to benefit society. Especially as often they're not to benefit society as a whole, only a small part of it.
igm - Member
Saxon - you're allowed to do that
Actually its classed as a solid white line and you are ment to manoeuvre all the way round it, as I was told by a court when appealing 3 points and a £60 fine.
Rule follower probably
I worry. stupidly worry about stuff I can't help. Do "they" like me, why does no one fancy me, all those stupid fashion things that come down to "does my bum look big in this?" Seriously, I stood in front of a mirror looking at my thigh gap the other day cause it was in one of those stupid mags full of celebs!! I worry about my mum worrying about me.
I took a lid from a yoghurt back to tesco cause I accidentally put it in my bag without paying for it!!
Sad

Like the rules of spelling?
Generally a rule maker and enforcer, which means I have to be a rule follower to present best practice.
I'd like to be a rule breaker, but I honestly think that, at nearly 40, I'm too old for all that malarky. Rule breaking and rebellion is a young man's game. I'd rather be at home with a nice mug of tea and a copy of the Guardian.
I'd love to hear a few examples from the dreamy rule breakers (beyond minor traffic infractions and riding on footpaths)
Run with scissors? Swim after eating? Shoelaces untied?
bender.
i like to know the rules, so i can interpret them as i see fit.

Your words, not mine 😀
I've gone up a snake and down a ladder
Had mayo AND ketchup on chips
Done a wee in a swimming pool
I only break the stupid nonsensical ones...so pretty much most EU directives.
Be interested to hear which ones.
When I finally get round to taking up surfing Immagonna rule the breaks.

That one about straight bananas?
Oh and the one about it being illegal to sell a dozen rolls?
😉

Exsactly
I asked the butcher for a pound of Irish sausage and he gave me one.
Rebels.

I'm happy to wake up everyday in the same bed - that's a smack in the face of the EU bureaucrats and their free movement of professionals directive!
a few examples from the dreamy rule breakers
eat then swim
Eat cheese go to bed
sometimes as many as 12 items in that aisle
Stamp on upsides down - I call that sticking it to the Maam
Just the serious stuff

Anyone who has posted on this forum for a few months and still has the ability to post is a rule follower capable of following both written and unwritten rules.
Having thoroughly enjoyed watching the Lego Movie yesterday evening, I think it covers this topic rather well 😀
Gnarr 🙂
