Have you ever known someone who has to do things their way? Probably, right along with the rest of us. That’s the individual who “bucks the system” so to speak. Sometimes, it’s because their independent and other times…just not very smart. As you’ll discover from these 38 examples, going against the system isn’t necessarily a good thing but it’s funny.
A lot of people try to come up with unique names for their babies. They don’t want “normal” but something that stands out. Well, the parents of this guy might’ve gone a tad overboard.
2. Waiting, waiting, and waiting
This driver parked their car in the middle of the aisle waiting for someone to back out so they could park. After five minutes, the individual who took this photo pulled around them. When they came out of the store, this car was still there…waiting.
Obviously, someone really loves ketchup. Instead of adding extra to their food, they took a different route. It seems as though using a straw is more effective when dealing with cravings.
4. Presentation isn’t everything…or is it?
You know the rule about holding a cake flat so it doesn’t do, well, this? Yeah, this guy refused to listen. Hopefully, he’s not entertaining guests at a fancy dinner party.
Lacing tennis shoes with a phone charger…impressive. But do you know what’s not impressive? Having to stand there for a long time or putting in the work to untie the shoes.
Cute. Very cute. We’re sure this individual was trying to look cool but what happened with putting spaghetti on a plate or in a bowl?
Here’s a clue. If your car is about to be submerged in water, you might want to do something other than this. Most people would jump to save their lives…but not this guy.
When someone ties their shoelaces like this, you know they don’t like rules. It wasn’t even a good attempt at being cool. Just stop it, already.
One man decided to reveal the truth about his girlfriend. She’s a lovely person with a great personality. But she has an issue…she likes to do things her way.
When asked why this individual didn’t hang pictures like normal people do, they responded with, “I don’t have to.” We have one question. How did they do that…it’s pretty awesome.
Why on earth would someone have a new vehicle wrapped to make it look old? What’s wrong with driving around in a gorgeous ride? We supposed that’s one way to enjoy all the latest and greatest features without worrying about having a vehicle stolen.
Is that even comfortable? Maybe she didn’t realize her mistake. Then again, she probably just doesn’t like rules. Or perhaps millions of people have been doing it wrong.
…just not in this person’s mind. What’s the problem…it’s only off…a lot. Okay, we get it, this individual goes against the system. Hopefully, this didn’t pass inspection.
Otherwise, how can you explain someone storing their PS3 games this way. Hey dude, here’s some advice. You should try going against the system in a different way.
Okay, it’s understandable that not everyone’s a dog person. But walking a banana? Defiant or just downright crazy?
16. Now, that’s interesting
Whoever did this might want to consider therapy. It’s one thing to hate rules. It’s another to do something like this.
This is what someone who goes against the system does when asked to stop talking on the phone while in the car. We don’t understand her reasoning. “I can’t talk so I’ll take a photo of my feet.” Yeah, makes sense.
Hey lady, we hate to inform you but you’re taking a picture of someone sitting inside of a photo booth. It appears as though she doesn’t trust the machine. Try it…you might like it.
Or in this case considering they used VHS tapes, low-tech. Okay, we’re all about repurposing. But does this guy know he can buy or build a really cute birdhouse for very little money?
Uh…that’s not right. On the other hand, this might work too. Regardless, plugging something in like this is a little scary and perhaps, unsafe.
21. It’s not going anywhere
Usually, people lock up bikes. You know, the kind with wheels that a thief steals? But someone who goes against the system thinks their exercise bike counts.
Today, it’s common for people to freeze all kinds of things to use as ice cubes. But typically, that includes strawberries, lemons, limes, mint, and so on. While there’s nothing wrong with creativity, spaghetti…seriously?
People who do things uniquely from others walk to the beat of a different drum. Let’s just say this guy’s rhythm in on an entirely different dimension. But we’ll give him some credit since this is kind of cool.
What a shame. This person has a nice inground swimming pool. But for whatever reason, they’d rather use it as a backyard golf tee.
25. See, they’re not there
After ordering earrings that never arrived, the merchant asked this customer for proof. This was how he did it. Why didn’t he just offer a photo of the tracking information?
One characteristic you’ll see in people who go against the system is they’re ornery. In other words, they don’t mind doing things considered sneaky. That’s what this guy. It would’ve been fun to be a fly on the wall in that classroom.
Halloween pumpkins, ridiculous. This individual is much more into pineapples. Hey, they work just as well, right? Actually, they might be a little cooler.
28. Why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary?
This iridescent wrap might look amazing on some cars but a BMW? It seems as though this person wanted to stand out. Or more accurately, go against the system.
29. Recruiting without people
Unfortunately, we’ll never know if this worked. Although it’s unique to take an approach without humans or fliers, what if people have questions? What if they need reference material? Something doesn’t seem right here.
Graffiti devalues neighborhoods. But one person wanted to show that not all thugs are dumb. With an equation like this…it appears they’re smarter than most people think…or at least one individual is.
Do you know what’s frustrating about defying rules? When you try but fail. Accused of cheating by looking at marks on die, this guy’s mom washes them every time before they play a game.
32. The best way to buck the system
Although people warned her not to do it…she did. This 80-year-old woman and man spent a significant amount of time playing more than 300 online games together. So, they decided to meet in person and it all went down beautifully.
33. Making the workplace fun
It’s awesome when a boss goes against the system for the sake of their employees. That’s what happened here. Out with the old chairs and in with the new.
34. Let the good times roll
It looks like someone didn’t want to mow like other people. And good for them. While looking out his apartment window, this is what one man witnessed.
After getting married, one couple returned to their honeymoon suite and ordered pizza. The food at the reception was great but they didn’t have time to eat any. Rather than box some up to go, they preferred to do things their way.
Yes, that’s Lucy Lu. And yes, she’s throwing a javelin while wearing a formal gown and high heels. Just because she’s participating in a tough sport doesn’t mean she can’t look sexy while doing it.
37. It’s his story after all
If this student doesn’t want to write about his mom, he doesn’t have to. Now, his mother might disagree. But to him, Mylene Farmer is the clear winner.
38. One isn’t like the other
You know, not everyone shares the same perspective. Case in point, this girl who was invited to a “Princess Party.” To her, wearing dog costume was far more appropriate than a foo-foo dress.
Have you ever known someone who has to do things their way? Probably, right along with the rest of us. That’s the individual who “bucks the system” so to speak. Sometimes, it’s because their independent and other times…just not very smart. As you’ll discover from these 38 examples, going against the system isn’t necessarily a good thing but it’s funny.
