Badass rule breakers

CaliopeSpidrman

What rules do you disregard?  I'm thinking of the living-on-the-edge type stuff like running with scissors, not following at a safe distance, not measuring your ingredients when you cook, etc.

Let's see who here is the biggest badass of all.

wingedbride

I once got tried for arson.

I also double dip.

CaliopeSpidrman

I totally double dip too.  I'm not even remorseful about it.  It's how I stick it to The Man.

I cross the street when the Don't Walk sign is lit.  It makes me feel alive.

I would never wear a helmet when riding a bike because they're dorky looking.

I use my pointer finger to type the letters C and M even though you're supposed to use your middle.

I don't know what this means and it's making me feel dumb.

wingedbride

I learned to type from old school chat rooms in college so I don't type any key correctly.

 I nap when I should be doing chores.

Coley7788

I am also a seasoned jaywalker, especially when I lived in Chicago and Boston. Some of those city blocks were long and crosswalks were few and far between.

ETA: I also never level my dry ingredients when baking and speed like a crazy person. If you are also going too slow I tend to ride your ass cursing like a sailor and flailing my arms about wildly. During the months of December through April, I am doing this every time I am in the car due to the snowbird migration In South Florida.

I was a rebel and didn't even know it.

A proper typist would use their left middle finger to type the letter C.  I use my left pointer finger instead because it's easier.  I don't use my middle finger to type any of the keys on the lower row (except the comma for some reason).

Okay, I don't know what's wrong with me. I read this as "I don't use my middle finger to point to the letters C and M," like when you're showing someone something that starts with a C you use your middle finger, and I was really confused, like that was some sort of a thing, because using your pointer finger to point at a C was offensive somehow. But no, it just turns out that I'm dumb and can't read.

I think you made this up. I cant imagine typing the C with my middle finger. Now I want to ask everyone I know if they do this.

KayRI

I let my kid watch TV, and I let him eat his breakfast while standing up at the coffee table.

I jaywalk.

I have used a turkey fryer while consuming alcohol. 

GroomzMcFinehiney

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use your pointer fingers for C and M.  I type that way, and I was that obnoxious student to followed every direction to the letter.  If I do it that way, then it's the right way because I'm always right.  I'm sorry Cali, you are not as badass as you think you are.  Zing.

I just read your whole statement in Sheldon's voice from The Big Bang Theory except the Zing at the end sounded like "Bazinga".

CaliopeSpidrman

I checked with teh Googles, and it says I'm right and you're wrong.  Zingzing!

mashedpotato

I use my middle fingers for C and M, maybe that makes me the badass!

GroomzMcFinehiney

You win this time Cali, but now that you've thrown down the gauntlet, I won't rest until I've destroyed you.  Muahahahahaha

Temp950106187509203

Ditto the bicycle helmet and double dipping.

I eat raw cookie dough/cake batter with reckless abandon.

Temp893353375007415

I jaywalk, I speed, I double dip (but only on my own plate or in my own home when it is just E and I).

I use the handicapped bathroom, because it is bigger and has it's own sink.

I take a penny often but hardly ever leave one

oklagirl

I use the left middle for C and the right pointer for M. My fingers are all confused.

I'm a big scaredy-cat baby, and I honestly can't think of any badass rule-breaking I do, other than speeding.

ETA: I will eat the crap out of any raw dough - cookie, cake, biscuit, etc. Otherwise I'm a food safety nazi.

OOOH, and I wear my disposable contacts a lot longer than I'm supposed to. Living on the edge here, folks.

We can't be friends, sadly.  I don't speed, and people like this piss me the eff off.  I'm courteous about the fact that I am not speeding, I stay in the right lane unless I'm passing, etc.  But dude, I'm the one that's following the law, not you.  Keep your rude gestures to yourself.  Let's save those for azzholes who drive in the exit lane as long as possible and then block it waiting for someone to let them back in, okay?

I don't follow any food safety rules, really.  I love warm raw egg yolk, mmmm.  Basically, unless smelling something turns my stomach, I'll eat it.

Anyone who says they don't double dip is a dirty liar.

buddhagouda

I think I'm confused as to the definition of double dipping. I only count it as double dipping in a communal bowl of food. In that case, I don't.

If it's something only Zane and I are eating, I won't even think twice about it. 

SarahBethBR

Admit it Buddha.  You dipped the chip, you took a bite.

 

And you dipped again.

If it's a work function where we're dishing things out, no I'm not dipping from the bowl period.  But with my family or close friends, I'm not worried about spit.  I drink after people with zero qualms too.

Aliza131

I've used illegal substances.

I jaywalk

I am another who will eat pretty much anything unless it tastes and smells funny (I am pretty sure Tasty would cry if she heard some of the things I eat) 

 Sometimes when I change a pee diaper I don't wear gloves (School/State Policy)

Dude, THIS. And neighborhood/surface street speeding bothers me the most, because most people would simply not be able to stop quickly enough if they had to. I'm not a ragey type, but boy this chaps my hide. Slow the fucck down.

I also wear disposable contacts for too long, but other than that I'm pretty fuddy duddy.

Novemberrocks

I drive recklessly at times.  I take the tags off of my pillows.  I always jaywalk.  In fact, they're doing construction around my office so there's always a guy directing traffic and holding up a big stop sign for pedestrians.  I blow past him and sometimes mutter 'sucka' under my breath.

Miles is a rulebreaker.  When he was about five months old he was with my mom in the mall and stole a bangle bracelet from Chicco's.  Badass kid! 

jens_a_ten

I am in the HATE wreckless drivers boat. Nothing pisses me off more than people driving like asssholes, and getting pissed off at ME for not doing the same. Especially up here because 5-6 months of the year the roads are pure snow and ice. I know that wherever you're going is important enough to be an assshole and endanger everyone else on the road, but chill the eff out.

/rant.

I eat raw cookie dough/cake batter like nobody's business.

Any clothes I have that are dry clean or hand wash only get put in the wash in cold water on the gentle cycle.

I go extended periods of time without getting my hair trimmed. Generally I go in maybe every 4 months or so. Isn't the recommended every six weeks or something. Is there anyone who actually gets their hair did that often?

I didn't get my annual physical this year.

I have never felt my IUD strings (TMI)

I don't stretch after my basketball games, and stretch really half asssed for about 45 seconds before. I pay for breaking that rule though, and  I pay dearly. 

CaliopeSpidrman

I think jens and I are in the same motorcycle gang.  I do almost all the things on her list.  I get my hair done annually, at this point.  I need to make an appointment to get my roots done.  I never get a physical done and only got PAP smears when they were holding birth control hostage.  I also haven't been to the dentist in a few years, which I know is very bad.  I never checked for my IUD strings.

I don't dye my hair or have an IUD but the rest could've been written about me. Which reminds me I'm supposed to find a new dentist.

I  speed a little but only if I am running late for work and sometimes I only pause at the stop sign near my house. But most of the time I'm obeying the law and cursing at the maniac who waits til the last minute to merge.

Since I use my contacts infrequently, I keep them well beyond when I'm supposed to throw them away. I take medicine that is past the expiration date and I could make a meal out of cookie dough and cake/muffin/brownie batter.

When I was a kid I would occasionally take a bite of raw hamburger meat when helping make meatloaf or meatballs. Looking back it's a miracle I never got sick since my grandma used egg with the breadcrumbs.

I've slept in my contacts for the last ten years. I don't toss them until they get sticky. I figure if it really was all that terrrribule my doc would be able to tell without me confessing. I do go for extended periods of wearing glasses only to make up for it a little.

I hate tailgaters. I'm usually going slightly above the speed limit, but still in the cushion. I tap my brakes at them and if they don't back off I slow down to the speed limit. I had someone freak out on me on a back road the other day -- coming right up to my bumper and swerving around in the lane. I made this big pantomime of getting my cell phone out and pushing three numbers. The asshats fell for it and pulled off on a side road. I was seeing red and trembling.

I should have been more specific about my speeding.  Yes, I do speed (I'm not going 100 in a school zone) and I'm usually about 10-15 mph over the speed limit.  My gestures usually show up because here in South Florida we get an influx of people that come down here to live for 3 months and are 150 years old.  Those people will go at least 10 miles UNDER the speed limit at all times.  Obviously, I will change lanes rather than curse and flail but if you are going 20 miles under the speed limit and you aren't in the far right lane then I get pisssy. 

heyemilina

I don't refrigerate Bisquick mix once it's been open (the dry stuff).

The one contact I have in has a tiny tear in it.

I don't always check the expiration dates of dairy products before I buy them.
