@golgaloth My favorite was a dress code rebellion. “Skirts must be below the knee” = hoop skirts back in fashion. “Ties must be worn” … around the forehead, or leg, or… As the dress code got more and more specific, students had to find more clever “letter of the law” interpretations.

@aprilfollies @golgaloth There was a workplace dress code policy typo in a place I was at once: shirts had to be collared and could not have anything printed on them except “discrete” [sic] logos.

While I was tempted to mock the one person who was being dumb about the dress code by having a collared t-shirt made up with many huge commercial logos made discrete with bold lines, it wasn’t worth it in the end. I did wear a full dinner suit to work one day though for the same reason, and that was enough; the special shirt might have been the next step if it was needed.

@golgaloth A protag recorded a crime and put it online anonymously. Although technically a “breach” for various reasons, it cleared the protagonist-victim and anonymity of posting kept the protagonist-cameraguy out of trouble because he wasn’t the only one with a phone out recording.
@golgaloth Good thing she apparently doesn't know what the trans and non-binary flags look like
@golgaloth Oh, and the ace flag!

@disorderlyf @golgaloth I noticed that one early on.

But, then, I would. ;-)

@golgaloth
once was told not to wear my megadeth tshirt to school.

Next day, it became a megadeth bandana.

check mate, sucka.

@golgaloth you can have the trans flag but not the pride flag? QwQ
Awaaa...
But hey at least you got there in the end :3
@golgaloth even included the trans flag. Big lol

@golgaloth I'd rather spraypaint the Pride Flag on the Ceiling and use it as curtains and wrap furniture in it.

- Cuz the ceiling is not a wall!

Also what parent is so bigotted?

@kkarhan
Still plenty of bigots out there, unfortunately.
