Rules are rules, whether you ignore them or not. One concert-goer found this out the hard way, as u/VigilantInfidel shared in their excellent story of malicious compliance.

You don't have to follow the rules if you can bend them without breaking them, but that doesn't mean you'll get away with it, either. This is especially true when it comes to security measures. For example, if you show up to the airport and you haven't read a single security measure, the TSA is going to take your bag and dig through every item in your bag, making you regret ignoring those rules. Even if you didn't know that all your liquids have to go in a quart-sized bag, security doesn't care. They have a job to do!

This security guard also doesn't care if people know the rules or not, but they still tried to be helpful anyway. They knew what was about to go down, but they still tried to get the concert-goer to move their vehicle before it was too late. Oh well, they've had an expensive "live and learn" kind of moment… and now they'll know what not to do at their next event.

After you check out that story, read about the rare plant aficionado who left all of their plants in the office while they were on vacation, and returned to find that their coworkers had claimed the plants as their own!
