In the course of every day events, many rules tend to be broken. Here's a few
When needing a public restroom, if the restrooms are single occupancy and the men's is occupied, I'll use the woman's. The door locks, so there is no risk of being in the restroom with a woman.
When a car in a parking garage backs out of its space, if it is easier to drive on the left side of the road to allow the car to escape while I take its spot, I will.
When I need to cross the street and there is absolutely no traffic in the middle of the night, I will not push the button and wait for the walk sign.
When driving, if there are no cars near enough to me to be affected, I won't use my blinker.
Occasionally I have jumped the turnstiles at the subway; not to get in, but to get out when a second token was required to leave the station.
OK, not occasionally...every time.
When the sign in the laundry room says to clean the lint trap AFTER each dryer load, I clean the lint trap before the dryer load. You can't trust somebody else won't accidentally forget to clean the lint trap, but if you clean the trap before your load...you can be assured it won't cause a fire. The next person can clean the lint tray after my load and before theirs.
When an electrical device says to shut off the circuit breaker before installing, I frequently install it without doing so. It's much quicker and more convenient most of the time.
Similiarly, I have worked on my automobile without removing the negative ground from the battery.
I have purchased a CD and copied it for a friend, and I have copied a CD my friend has purchased. (I know most of you out there have done even worse than that.)
Keep this entry in mind...I will be adding to it.

If a register clerk unknowingly gives me too much money as change, I keep the extra money.
