I think it should be illegal to...

Denise on SB posted this link  http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/seat-belt-gas-colorado-woman-132717697.html 

Obviously the whole carseat/gas thing should be illegal, but that poor toddler is out in public in just a diaper/underwear and barefoot. I think that should be illegal. Dress your children, FFS.

What stupid crap do you think should be illegal?

ETA: I realize it would be a stupid law that's hard to enforce and what not and impedes on civil liberties to do whatever the eff you want, but, we're being slightly facetious here.

Re: I think it should be illegal to...

  • People who don't understand how to walk on a sidewalk (get on the right, keep it moving, do not stop randomly and look at your phone with a confused look).

    People who don't hold doors.  I've made very loud remarks to many people who dropped the door in my face.  You're rude.

  • That is awful!  

    Extremely Unpop Op: smoking. It doesn't just affect the person smoking.  The part about the econmy seems like a crappy excuse to me, because that land can be resewn to have some food or something.  

    People who cut in front of you when driving.  It can cause an accident and it's not worth the extra 2 seconds you just gained. 
  • LDY, I saw that story, and I'm very confused as to why the gas needed to be buckled.  Did you see the smart-ass remark from the cop when the mother said that the child often unbuckled himself.  He said "Oh, and then does he buckle the gas can in his carseat and buckle himself in the seat next to it?"
  • I don't know why drivers in FL prefer to stay in the blind spot of the driver in the next lane.  Speed up or slow down, but don't hide in the blind spot, weirdo.
  • Oh my goodness. 

    I think reproducing when you are that stupid should be illegal.

  • I don't know about illegal, but crap like this make me think that you should have to pass a test to procreate.
    Its time to start weeding people like that woman out of the gene pool.

  • Nobody in Connecticut uses their blinkers when they turn.  I didn't notice this until H pointed it out after he moved here, but it's true.  We make fun of Massachusetts drivers (Massholes), but for some reason, blinkers in CT are considered optional.

  • Idiocracy in real life. Weeding them out of the gene pool will never happen.

    I agree with Megbo about smoking.

    Chain e-mails should be illegal. I cannot stand those. (Fun fact: FI thought chain e-mails were social e-mails that went back and forth over the course of an entire day)

    Wait...what does this mean?
  • I'm going to agree with the smoking thing.  It's banned in most public places here and restaurants but what 99% of smokers do is just stand outside the door - so you then have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get in and out.  The rudest people are smokers walking down a street and blowing smoke everywhere!

    Well it came up because he was looking at the paperwork for his new job and one of the rules was "no chain e-mails". He thought he wouldn't ever be able to e-mail me if he needed something because of this rule. Not the same thing honey. :) (obviously excessive use of that would be bad but that's not a chain e-mail) Is that a better explanation?

    It is illegal to do it in NYC.  In Manhattan anyhow.

  • Making me go to a training meeting for something that probably won't be implemented until after I quit should definitely be illegal.

  • I hate rude smokers.  There was a guy on Monday standing outside the grocery store, while it's raining, under the overhang outside the doors so you had no choice but to walk through his smoke to get inside.  It was so disgusting.  He also never held in his exhale while people were walking by. 

    Not all smokers are rude, plenty are aware of others, but the rude ones make it hard to remember there are polite ones out there.

    Guess this means that FI hasn't encountered chain e-mail a lot. Lucky guy.


    Thanks Wrigly!!!

    Onesies are clothes lol. <div>
    And by saying "no damage done" - I dont think that taking your kid out in just a diaper is damaging. I think it's trashy.</div>

    Wait - why do cab drivers care if your kid is in clothes or not?
  • I think it should be illegal to say you think people should have to take a test/meet income requirements/show fitness to procreate.

  • sorry, I meant that carrying gas or propane in your car is illegal. 

    Propane grills are also banned but no one cares,  just go to Brooklyn for the fuel
  • Chain statuses on FB.  I hate those so much.

  • Oh. Well. Shiiit, OOT. I thought Manhattan was too classy to have babies in just diapers. Now my dreams of a non-trashy NYC are dashed!
  • Oh I hate those too, Bay.  Especially the one going around that people should post their thing on their wall because FB is going to start selling pictures.  Ya, and posting something on your wall is going to stop them?

    Times infinity. Especially the ones that are false. Like the privacy on FB now that it's a publicly traded company. I've been posting that snopes article all over the place.
