Guess what?
Yes, it’s a hard pill to swallow, but it is what it is…
But still, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t annoy the hell out of you.
Check out what AskReddit users think about things that should be crimes, but aren’t.
1. The American way.
“Multiple frivolous lawsuits just to make a person you dislike bleed money.
Probably the second most American thing ever.”
2. Put the phone down.
“Being on your phone when the light turns green, then realizing it’s green with only enough time for the a**hole to get thru the intersection while everyone behind said a**hole has to wait for another green light!
I’m talking to you a**hole in red Ford F150 with big tires in east El Paso around 9:23 am today!”
3. Doesn’t make sense.
“Gerrymandering.
Aka “re-districting”. Somehow people seem more okay with that terminology.”
4. Criminal.
“Starving school children because their parents don’t have money.
It took me a stupidly sheltered long time to find out that this was such a serious issue because when I was in elementary school, I forgot to bring a lunch one day, and one of the monitors saw.
She literally marched me up to the lunch line and made me pick out food, I didn’t even have a lunch account but I got fed anyway. Little kid me assumed that was what happened everywhere. I wish little kid me was correct.”
5. Distracting.
“Electronic/LED Billboards.
I’ve seen casino signs that flash like they’re trying to give people a seizure put right on the side of the highway that have nearly blinded me at night.
Even if you aren’t epileptic that s**t is more distracting than anything else I can think of while driving.”
6. Yup.
“Electoral college members voting against the wishes of their people.
It’s rarely happened and is a crime in some states but technically still possible and legal for them to elect whoever they want and throw democracy in the trash can.”
7. Scammers everywhere.
“Those text scams that claim to be your Amazon account or Netflix and stating there’s a 500 dollar charge on your account.
It’s clearly predatory, targeting old folks and I hope every single person who pulls one of these text scams d**s a horrible death of anal herpes after falling into a pit of cactuses soaked in sriracha.”
8. All three of ’em.
“Unpaid internships.
Nepotism in the workplace.
Mandatory company fun and basing people’s promotions and stuff off that. France just had a court case about it.”
9. How is this legal?
“Paying such a low wage that your employee qualifies for state/federal aid while making a profit — essentially profiting off of tax payers aid.”
10. Definitely.
“Parents taking their young children to places where they clearly aren’t meant to be, like bars, breweries, pubs, wineries, clubs etc . . .
Like if the main point of a place is to go and drink al**hol, any child under the legal drinking age has no business being there.”
11. Robbery.
“Predatory lending in the form of payday loans
It’s literally legal robbery of people who already don’t have enough to make ends meet.”
12. Sketchy.
“Politicians have the ability to invest in stocks with access to information that is sensitive as well as the ability to influence legislation that will directly benefit their investments…
They should be locked up for this.”
What do you think isn’t a crime, but should be?

We look forward to it!
