20 Times Stupid Rules Backfired Immediately

Some rules and regulations are set down by the authority bodies to make sure that everything is going according to plan and there are no mishaps waiting to happen. In fact, people themselves would never mind having sort of guidelines set beforehand in any institution as it provides a good basis on how to work around it. It gives an understanding as to what to expect from the opposite party and paves a path for us to follow. Keeping that in mind, some rules are extremely well set, from the discussions to finalizing the rule, it is defined to perfection allowing zero room for errors and loopholes for misinterpretation.

On the other hand of the spectrum comes the rules that are just straight-up bizarre. The authorities tend to get a bit too overzealous with keeping standards too high to be followed as it can sometimes become hard for people to cooperate with. This leaves room for way too many errors and tweaks that end up being terrible ideas with unintended consequences.

It is rather funny too at the same time to see how the rules or policies being planned out are so precise and often times vague. The consequences are the opposite of what was initially expected to happen. With almost all the personal stories shared by everyone, it starts off as a rule formed with a very logical background which really quickly backfired due to it lacking either details, precision, directions. Here are a lot more in store to explain what I mean to convey:
