Durdom & Shaloon
Hey Durdom, ever notice how some places still have the most ridiculous laws—like the one that says you can’t eat soup with a fork? What’s the strangest rule you’ve ever heard?
You know the rule in some towns that says you can’t step on a dog’s tail? Or that in a certain city you’re forbidden to shout “hello” after midnight because it might awaken the sleeping ghosts? The strangest one I’ve ever heard was a law that banned people from singing while wearing a hat in a public bathroom—apparently it was a measure to stop “hat‑singing hysteria.” I don’t know what that’s about, but it sounds like a perfect recipe for chaos.
Those are classic! I once heard of a town that banned wearing sandals with socks—said it was to keep the town’s pigeons from feeling threatened by the "sandals‑sock syndrome." Imagine a chorus line of people in mismatched footwear, all trying to avoid the pigeons’ wrath. What’s the weirdest thing you’d like to see outlawed?
I’d love to see a ban on people who write their grocery lists on invisible ink. Imagine everyone with a grocery list that literally disappears, and then the clerk can’t see it and says, “You don’t have a list?” That would make checkout chaos for a whole city.
