Look, we all realize that we’re not supposed to do things that, well, we’re not supposed to do. Rules and order do exist for a reason, mostly so we’re all not constantly staving in our rivals’ skulls with clubs, caveman-style. At the same time, some things fit into the frame of simple mischief, or victimless crimes.

Are those still bad? If you’re at the pearly gates, probably. In the real world, though, they happen. When they work, not only do you get the desired result, but also that oh-so-sweet feeling of knowing you got away with one. Redditors shared some of the rule-bending moments of their own life they’ve gotten off scot-free on, and you can suck some of that same satisfaction out of them vicariously by reading below.

11y ago In college we were required to have an internship for one year. Apparently the summer before I started the internship I was supposed to get a letter in the mail with a list of places I could intern at, but I never got the letter. By the time the year started it was too late to get an internship anywhere. It was my senior year so I didn't have another year to do my internship. So I just made one up. I said I was working with an online literary magazine. I completely faked the evaluations, made
warpus 11y ago My parents, me, and my 2 sisters once escaped through the iron curtain in the middle of the night, via a train we were not supposed to be on, from Poland to West Germany. I had no idea what was happening, we all thought we were going on a vacation to Yugoslavia. That's what my parents told everyone: me, my sisters, their parents, friends, family, coworkers.. and next thing you know we're in a West German immigration camp! It was a very crazy family journey.. We now live in Canada and love it here.
linglingdang . 11y ago | made a huge fucking hole in the wall of my parents garage. I screwed a pin-board in the wall over the top of the hole and no one seemed to question it.
marisajo 11y ago Junior year of high school, | never turned in an essay that was worth a large percentage of my English grade. When my teacher called me over while she was entering grades into the computer and asked about it, I used my excellent lying skills to act completely confused, because of course I turned it in and what was she talking about? Because | had always been an awesome student, she thought it was her fault and that she had lost it. She told me she actually DID remember reading it, and typed a 95/100 into the
11y ago Once i was really drunk and closed a four lane road with fences from a nearby building site in the middle of the night. A police car came just when I was about to leave and started chasing me. I was on my bike and peddled away as fast as I could. I had a head start of no more then 30m, I made it around the corner and was out of sight of the police car for no more then 4 seconds. I stopped, hid my bike in some bushes, took of my coat, turned around
natefly5 11y ago Sort of boring, but I gave my entire college class an extra week to work on a 12 page paper (that I had forgotten about). The professor had a lot of classes, and he really liked me so when I reminded him that he had told us the paper wasn't due for another week he bought it. Of course one of the goody-two-shoes in the class tried to correct me but everyone around her shut her up.
11y ago I once stole a Pain au Chocolat from Sainsburys. It was in the same bag as a Croissant and I told the self-service checkout about the Croissant then had to put the bag in the bagging area. The machine was none the wiser. I sauntered out of there like a motherfucker.
count_phistula . 11y ago Running through the jungle to escape Vietnamese guards who were intending to turn us in for trying to climb Mt. Fansipan (highest peak in Indochina) without a permit.
root66 11y ago Back in the 90's when everyone had dial-up internet, phone sex and psychic hotlines ran credit card #'s in batches long after the call was over. The only thing they verified beforehand was that the card number was valid. Validity was determined by computer software that would check for certain requirements, like the first four digits matching the card issuer and some algorithm that was used to generate card numbers that was also used in those days for verifying them. There was a program called CCWIZ for Windows 3.1 that would extrapolate a bunch of fake numbers
C 11y ago | used to bring knives to school. Not because I wanted to stab anyone, but | just carried knives around and would forget. I realize now with how serious they are about weapons in schools, I could have gotten in A lot of trouble.
Ohtarello . 11y ago While at a wedding, I drunkenly climbed on to the roof of the bar we were at and stole a shingle. I then proceeded to take the shingle back into the bar, place it on the seat next to me, and call it my new drinking buddy.
terrett101 11y ago When I was 16/17, I asked a random guy to buy me GTA III in what was probably Electronic Boutique at the time (this was in the UK, game was rated 18, and they take it seriously there). Went outside and waited for him to come out, he thankfully did not steal my money and did buy me the game. I ended up working for R* North on GTA V, so I like to feel this lapse in legality was for a good eventual cause.
frd101 . 11y ago I faked my bachelor's degree and yet successfully enrolled in a master's program. Currently in my second term with mostly A grades.
Flacid-whale . 11y ago In grade three | light my schools field on fire with some matches I found. I ran away and it got put out. I was a fucking stupid kid.
brufleth . 11y ago I got hit by a train and walked out of the hospital only seven hours later. I got away with being struck by a train.
LiquidFood 11y ago When I was 17 or 18 years old I was in Germany with some friends. We where drinking at a bar and after that we went back to our camping site. On the way back to the camping site we wanted to take a traffic sign, So I hopped on someone shoulders and start unscrewing the traffic sign. Then one of my friend says that he saw a police car passing us by, so we started running away and I ran away from my friends and hid in the bushes. The cops came back and started searching
caveinlikearainbow 11y ago Edited 11y ago When I was very young, and extremely poor.. with a baby.. My grocery budget was $50-$80 per week. Milk and meat were the two most expensive items I purchased (no formula, I nursed for as long as she would take the breast)... I would always put my gallon of whole milk under the cart, on the flat rack. Didn't pay for milk for probably a year that way. Felt guilt & shame every single week, but I was in a very bad situation & literally didn't eat some days. Milk at least had plenty
. 11y ago Edited 11y ago | sold cocaine and ecstasy pills for over two years. Never got caught by the law. My closest encounter was when I got stopped by the police for drinking in public( sidewalk next to my friends house) | had my car parked a few houses down. They identified it by the logo on my keys and proceeded to check the inside for any kind of illegal items. I had 10 baggies with cocaine stashed in the gas chamber. They searched every where but there. I that was the closest | got to ever
hummahumma . 11y ago I got away with it. I ain't saying shit.
11y ago Not really the craziest thing I've done but I got out of a speeding ticket (about 15 over) by telling the cop that I was just excited to see my brother again since he just got back from deployment. Some people will say that was pretty scummy of me to lie about. But for something I came up with while the cop was walking to my car I thought it was pretty good.
Mr_Gilmore_Jr . 11y ago | once acted like I was holding open a door for a long line of people coming out of church, but the door had a kickstand and I just wanted to lean on something. | got so many thank yous.
. 11y ago When I was thirteen and fourteen | went on these adrenaline runs in the early morning (like 3:00 to 5:00). I would go to the woods and make a small fire, kill a squirrel, cook it and eat it. It was private property and there was a curfew.
userbones 11y ago Several years ago, in the late 90's, I worked part time for a janitorial company. One night we got a contract to strip and wax the floors at a local Best Buy. The general manager of the store (his name was Bob) oversaw our operations, probably just making sure we weren't stealing and what not. After the job was done, that following day I went back into the store to buy a video game I spotted the night before. With my receipt in hand, from the video game I just bought, I walked over to someone in
. 11y ago Edited 10y ago While in high school, I wanted to buy some alcohol for my best friend's birthday, but not only was I a minor, I was broke. Like negative account balance broke. So what did I do? I walked into a big ass major chain grocery store, studied the clerks' movements (like some kind of a stealth game), then walked to the alcohol aisle, grabbed two boxes of 24-can, and just walked out of the store to the parking lot where other friends were waiting in the car, ready for extraction. The first heist gave
captainalana 11y ago Signed up for 18+ Neopets account when I was 13 without faxing my parents permission shit. I thought I was SUCH a badass.
Dfrozle . 11y ago Busted open an ATM with a couple of buddies while drunk. It was actually way easier then you would think.
a 11y ago Edited 11y ago In college, I hunted rabbits on campus in the middle of the night. I used my blowgun and my friend used a hand crossbow. I now know that we could have easily been arrested or shot, but we still had a blast. Edit: Yes, of course we ate them. Otherwise it would be weird. We stopped after one night when we hit some poor rabbit like four times, but never managed to recover it; that means it probably died slowly by bleeding out somewhere. I felt so bad about it we never went
. 11y ago Came home stoned and smelling like booze when I was 14, didn't get caught because I said a homeless man threw vodka at me.
Pinoynac 11y ago In my freshman year of high school, I was taking my economics final. Now, I'm shit at taking tests, and this one was no exception. It was a 180 question test, and we had 15 minutes left to take it. I had only answered 85 or so. I'm stressing out because | have fucking half of it done. As I'm trying to break at least 90, I hear everyone start flipping their shit. As it turns out, the kid in front of me fucking fainted. Не had to be pulled out in a wheelchair, and was pale
LoveMeSexyJesus 11y ago I faked my bar mitvzah torah portion. I could barely read Hebrew, and I had put off memorizing it for months. I tried to learn it the morning of my bar mitzvah, but I was only able to memorize about 2 of 8 lines. The other 6 I pretty much free-styled with Jewish sounding noises. I had seen about 30 of my peers bar mitvah services at this point, so I was able to do a pretty good job of making it sound like an actual torah portion. I went to a reform synagogue, so the only
11y ago In an English writing class, my professor returned my paper saying that he wanted me to rewrite it and put a little more work into it. Three days later | handed him the same exact essay and I got it back with an A+ fantastic writing! grade
