Gaming the system is as easy as one, two, three. First, you learn about the things it allows and prohibits, then convince yourself that no universal moral values exist, and finally, figure out how far you can stretch those boundaries without getting caught. Just don't underestimate the importance of the last point.
Once you find a loophole to exploit, it can be pretty hard to step on the brakes if needed. When Reddit user posted a question asking people what rules were made because of them, it received over 5,200 replies, proving that if you're not careful, they will catch up. My high school used to have a drug project where we’d have to give a presentation on a certain drug. There was a little thing on how it’s made, like in a lab or it’s a plant or whatever. Long story short, I spent fifteen minutes teaching the entire freshman boys health class how to make black tar heroin. Yeah, I got both a B and a lecture when 15 year old me did a project on drugs having just read Go Ask Alice. Apparently my work was good but REALLY not suitable for my age or the class. It might have been a precursor though... The library started putting up signs about 'Authorized computer activities' because I remotely rebooted the computers of noisy kids over and over. To be fair, it was a library. There is a required pin to change profile pictures on the classroom iPads now. This is because I decided to change every staff member’s profile picture in the school iPads to a smiling, old Mexican man on April 1st. The place I work used to have unlimited coffee for their employees. Three weeks after I started working, there was a sign above the coffee maker that stated that employees were limited to 3 cups a day. 'Students are prohibited from organizing, advertising, playing, observing, or otherwise engaging in any form of rummy, blackjack, Texas Hold 'Em, 5/7 card stud/draw, Pai Gow, or poker during lunch period. Poker chips and cards are prohibited from school grounds except when required for specific, pre-approved activities or projects. Violation of this policy is subject to expulsion and referral to law enforcement for illegal gambling.' This was middle school, decades ago. Our first (and last) Annual Texas Hold 'Em Tournament, presented by Jr's Bait Shop, was a resounding success. When I was six my cousin told me I wasn’t as strong as him because I was a girl, and proceeded to hold the handle of the glass back door shut from the outside. I was pushing on the door to open it and somehow ended up with my left arm through the glass. My mom walked in and was horrified. Ended up getting 13 stitches on my arm, but at least my cousin will never forgot the sheer strength of determined women :). I wasn't banned from glass surfaces but 4 of my siblings and I were playing hide and seek. The back screen/glass door was the safety area. There was a small hill a little way from the door. After the count down was done, I went up the hill to see if I could see any of my siblings. I seen one of them peeking around the corner of the house. I came running down the hill and put my arms out thinking the glass door would stop me. Nope. Went right through the glass and cut my left arm. Cut my arm in three different places. I don't recall how many stitches I had. Had to be rush to a doctor. Side note, the Doctors name was Dr. Green. I remember this was because he had a name of a color. When he was examining my arm, he flashed a light on my arm. I remember ask him why he was doing that,. His response, to look for pieces of glass in my arm. I was probably 11/12 years old at the time. Plus this was how I learned my left and right side of my body. I was going to my first guitar lesson at school so I asked someone where the band room was and he pointed in its general direction. I tried to open the door that led to the room he pointed at, but it was kind of hard to open. So I pushed harder, and a giant bookcase came crashing down onto the floor. I don’t have any idea why they put a huge bookcase in front of a push door. But now there’s a permanent sign on the door that says: “DO NOT OPEN THIS DOOR—EVER!!!” When I was a kid we had a contest where we got divided into teams and had to design and build solar-powered model boats which we were then supposed to race on the pond behind the school. We had an odd number of people so I was put on the one team that had 3 people instead of 2, and I got stuck with a pair of idiots that just wanted to f**k off the whole time, so I asked if I could just be on a team by mysel
