Idk, depends. I'm a chronic loopholer, I'm definitely the reason for a few rules, and probably the reason for a few signs.
Now, signs that denote someone did something stupid (like you probably meant,) yeah I agree. Oh boy there I go loopholing again.
Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you've been slacking off for a few days because you know it's small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.
I discovered a legit bug in the handling of switch statements I a for loop in Actionscript 2 way back when Flash was still a thing.
Until I finally killed my blog about it last year, it was the only result other than my post on the adobe site around the same time. I donβt think it ever got fixed, but didnβt keep following after the iPhone finished off flash.
oh my God it's like you're in my head get out of my head. I'm reading this because I'm trying to catch up on sleep and need to distract myself from the dread, so this hits way too close to home lol
There's nothing special about wanting to be special. It's the most ordinary thing in the world.
no one wants to stand out when they don't want to so... unique body. Not like elephant man even i mean just really tall/short dark/light different. No one wants to be too far outside the mean where they live
The amount of chromosomes.
I donβt know about yβall, but Iβd prefer not to win a Darwin Award.
I'm ineligible to win the Darwin award.
Edit: huh, having kids doesn't disqualify you.
Yeah you have to have a life to lose it doing dumb shit.
Oh you meant kids...yeah...
Browser fingerprint.
Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.
For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.
(Slim chance it was heroic, or cool.)
I dunno, I'd be okay with a rule named after me, causing an otherwise benign item to be banned.

shudder you made me think of The Cheesegrater.
I meant more like "wooden toothpicks are no longer permitted on the premises" or something similarly weird and oddly specific
I was going to say, being responsible for a new warning label.

Camouflage.
A desire for a different way to live your life. If everyone else around you wants something else, you can either suffer it or disengage from society all together. And odds are neither of those two options are what you wanted to happen.
Hence why the members of c/fuckcars are so intense (I include myself in this).
The only practical way to avoid exposure to society's car dominance in your everyday life is to live far from society... Which ironically forces you to own a car and drive to get literally anywhere.

Unspeakable crime
Lots of people want to have or claim to have rare medical conditions. It gives then something to do/talk about.
Claim to have, sure. But actually have, probably few, at least until that have to start dealing with the condition.
Actively seek treatment, going from doc to doc until they find one that will perform a procedure.
People want change, being "special" sucks just as much, if not more than being normal
Uniqueness is not a thing people generally desire.
Shooting up a school is special and unique
Meh. That's a straight copycat crime.
Okay how about stealing road signs and putting them on different roads, in the wrong place?
