Are you more of a rule breaker or a rule keeper? Why?

Joanne's FAVORITE answer:
I LOVE breaking rules...my college days as you well remember where chock full of breaking rules: drinking during class, asking our men in the middle of the quad, getting fired from my library workstudy for bowling with microfiche, the list goes on and on...

Joanne's answer:
In the grand scheme of things, I'm sure I would be considered mostly a rule-keeper...BUT I do feel like I break more than my share of rules...what with the speeding, rarely wearing a seat-belt, coming in about 10 minutes late to work every day (and then working on the QOTD for about an hour once I get here!!), having unauthorized pets in my apartment, jumping fenses to get into concerts...once, when I worked at an afterschool daycare (as a daycare teacher), I let the kids have a snowball fight (even though it was not allowed) and actually stood on "teacher duty" to warn them if any other teachers were coming so we wouldn't get in trouble! Ya, I'm a rebel alright!!! =)

And the other answers!

1. I am a rule breaker. I can't help it. It makes my life better.

2. I'm a rule breaker, but in a pretty uncontroversial way. I do slightly unsensible things like auditioning for musicals when I really need to focus on making a career, or constantly falling for men who are close to 20 years older than me. I find my way around silly rules like needing to buy a parking permit to park at school. I also have been known to forget to pay (or refuse to pay) certain bills and fines.

3. I'm definitely a rule keeper (except when it suits my purpose to be a rule breaker)

4. I'm definitely a rule breaker. I have a strong internal derision for authority which has led me to do a number of stupid things. Consider the following: a) at a mall after hours, a mall security guard yelled at me for lying on a bed that people had been lying on all day as a model. Instead of getting off like he asked, I purposely lay there for about 15 minutes, despite threats to call the rest of security to escort me out. I hate rent-a-cops. b) at a DUI CHECK FOR GOD'S SAKE, I got out of the car and moved aside one of the cones so my girlfriend and I could turn around and go home (neither of us had had so much as a sip that evening, and didn't want to waste an hour in the line). When the officer harangued me, I told him I was intoxicated just to irritate him (I wasn't the one driving) and when he asked me if I was carrying any illicit drugs, I asked him snarkily if Ricola counted (I was recovering from a cold).... It's a wonder I've never told my academic advisor to go suck an egg for no good reason. This doesn't even count all the fences I've hopped, notepads I've stolen, and rules I've let slide when I worked in the "real" world. I think I'm a danger to society and should be stopped.

5. For the most part, I'm a rule keeper. I guess it's partly because I more-or-less feel that most rules make sense and are good - and, partly because I'm a "Pleaser". But, if I feel strongly that a rule is stupid, immoral, or easy to break without getting caught...

6. More of a rule keeper. It just so happens that I agree with most ofthe rules. And I find that rules I disagree with can often be changedif one is willing to set one's mind to it.

7. Even better. I'm a rule maker!

8. Rule keeper, but I will push it when I feel I can. Much easier to find the guidelines and know where you are supposed to be so you can know where to push it when you have to.

9. I am a RULE KEEPER!!!! I don't know what it is I like to follow the rules, always have always will. I like things in an expected order. I would stop at a stop sign if the world ended and I was the last person on earth!

10. Rule keeper, it is much easier that way.

11. I break some and keep some. but mostly I'm a keeperor the rules. Why? I can't answer that in 25 words orless. :-)
