Laws are kind of a funny thing. Ostensibly, they are the bedrock of a functioning society. The guardrails that keep us, in a general societal sense, on the straight and narrow path. They're the rules we all agree upon that keep us safe, together and running in harmony.

Except, in the same way we have a metric f**k ton of laws that you won't believe exist, you'd be equally surprised at just how many laws don't exist -- how many laws are actually more 'understandings' or a general sentiment than they are real ink in the lawbook.

Down below are a few dozen things that you'd think would almost certainly be illegal but, in reality, are legally-permissible activities. That said, our obligatory disclaimer is that we aren't lawyers or experts on the law-code in whatever jurisdiction you happen to reside in.
