You go about your day trying to be a good citizen, but you have no idea how many laws you're probably breaking. Maybe you’re throwing snowballs, yelling at an umpire, or using high-tech equipment to make sure your shoes fit right. You know, everyday stuff. Just to be safe, check out this list of 45 weird laws—adapted from an episode of The List Show on YouTube—so you know what not to do.
1. Vermont banned banning clotheslines.
You read that right. In 2009, Vermont made it illegal for groups like neighborhood associations to ban clotheslines owing to their perceived unsightliness. It became known as the “right to dry law.”
2. You can’t throw rocks at trains in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin has a law that you cannot “propel any stone, brick, or other missile at any railroad train” lest you sustain a Class B misdemeanor charge. This could mean that you can technically drop a brick onto a railroad train, but no one’s ever tested it.
