Idiotic Things Our Readers Were Punished For

Cracked pays people to make smart memes. Visit the Photoplasty and Pictofacts Workshop to get in on it.

Rules exist to keep things from descending into chaos. Theoretically. But sometimes we suspect rules are slapped together by people who either have control issues or just didn't think things through. In order to test that theory, we asked our readers to tell us about bizarre things they got called on the carpet for, in some sort of professional or academic setting.

And they proved us right.
