14+ Clever People Who Found Ways To Cheat The System

More often than not, the only way to get ahead in life is to find new and creative ways to beat the system!

So, from designing robots with needlessly specific purposes to finding new sneaky uses for loaves of bread, here are 14+ clever people who found new ways to cheat the system.

"My son might be [a] slacker, but he also might be a genius."

"Master, what is my purpose, what was I created for?"

"Here, do this math homework."

"Is...is that it?"

"Yep, pretty much."

"The town won't allow them to keep a statue near the road, but they can't do anything about a flagpole."

The face on this "flagpole" looks just as smug as the face of the person who came up with this idea's presumably is.

"Trees care not for your words or your signs or your words on your signs."

I mean, if they eat the sign then there will not be any sign to tell them not to eat anything else, it's the perfect plan!

"Not a charging station, huh?"

That sign didn't really work as well as these people were expecting I guess. You can't seriously expect people to go without their phones for any amount of time these days!

"Used to work at a daycare. I told a student her zombie needed to wear pants..."

They managed to include pants in the design, but that didn't stop them from also giving their zombie a butt! This was really thinking outside of the box.

"Gave to my friend to fix...this was her solution."

Well, they ought to be wary of wearing these pants on a night out as, in Spongebob's own words, "no girl ever wants to dance with a fool who went and ripped his pants."

"This is how my Auntie blocks ads from her computer screen..."

Now this is an adblocker that absolutely no website or software will be able to detect!

"A mayor in Brazil prohibited bar owners from setting tables on the sidewalk. Here's their solution."

This way, they could also double up as a bus service for everyone who is too drunk to drive home at the end of the night.

"Fan got a 1 year ban from the stadium so decides to rent a crane to watch the game."

I wonder what on Earth someone could have done to get a year-long ban from a stadium... Actually, maybe its better not to think about it.

"One of them finally cracked the code."

I mean, just try and prove that they're wrong, you really can't! Genius work.

"My friend goes to a school that doesn't allow the opposite sex in their respective dorms, so this is movie night..."

This is a great idea, provided you go to school somewhere that is warm. Otherwise, it could get pretty chilly on movie nights!

"A real mussel car!"

All you need to turn your car into a mussel car is a nearby lake and a lot of time! You'll never look back...mainly as the back window will be coated in mussels.

"My daughter asked me for a computer to watch YouTube videos of dogs. I told her I have no money to buy it, she came out with her own solution to the problem:"

Say what you will about this laptop, but not even the best hacker on the planet could hack this laptop.

"New community toll system is really working out!"

Did the people who put this in really think that it was going to result in any other outcome?

"This bird cannot be controlled!"

All that they have done here is provide this bird with a nest that is a secure fortress!

"We go to a school with a uniform policy that requires a belt. My friend forgot his belt and did this."

Why would any policy "require" someone to wear a belt? Surely you should only need to wear a belt if you need one?

"Music festival in 90 degree weather wouldn't allow venders to sell beverages..."

It's bad news for anyone who needs water but has a peanut allergy. That water will come at a great cost.

"Camp requires kids to write a letter home after the first week."

Ah yes, another kid clearly having a great time at camp. They should really check what the kids are writing before they send them.

"[A] note our neighbors left us after a very windy day."

A good lesson in covering all your bases, making sure you don't get a surprise lawsuit.

"Fix your scratches easily by placing a bottle in front of them!"

It says perfect match for any wood, but I think the yellow would clash with the dark oak of my coffee table.

"We were finally able to bring our grandma home to stay with us and she brought all her 'loot' from the nursing home."

It's good to know the thrill of stealing small things from places like hotels doesn't go away with age.

"My daughter's solution to keep her goat from escaping."

I've heard a surprising amount of stories about goats escaping enclosures. I think we should just start building them brick houses.

"Started staining the deck and needed to keep the dog off the deck boards."

Convenient for you, terrifying for the dog. "You mean to tell me that thing can follow me outside now?!"

"Our waiter got tired of hitting his head on the light."

He stops hitting his head and he gets a cool hat. Seems like a win all around.

"My dog isn't allowed on the couch. This is his solution."

I mean, it is kind of a messed up rule. Allowed on the ottoman but not the couch? That's just taunting him!

"My four year old moved the Elf from the shelf to a corner where he can’t see anything to report to Santa.."

They also inadvertently inspired the latest Child's Play-style Christmas horror movie, The Blair Elf Project.

"So my buddy, a bartender broke his hand in a fight and refused to take [time] off [...]."

Smart and resilient, and I bet he made loads in tips from impressed patrons.

"I kept losing my son during the family reunion. He just started walking, so I found a solution to keep tabs on him."

Why does he look like he just came back from a long day at work just to find out that dinner isn't finished yet?

"Modern problems require modern solutions."

I wouldn't call carrying a cutting board around a "modern solution," but it sure does work!

"Is my dog being serious right now?"

What, it's not like you're going to use all of them! Let him relax.

"Our daughter really wanted to touch the water but couldn't reach by herself- this was my husband's solution... Her face says it all!"

Her soaking wet clothes will also say it all when she gets dropped.

"This guy beat the system. Only suckers pay for drinks at concerts."

It would probably confuse a fair few security guards as to why you're carrying a loaf of bread into a concert though, wouldn't it?

"I went to a 'no cups' party. This was my solution."

For no cups parties, I've seen people bring casserole dishes, turkey basters, and dog food bowls, but none match the efficiency and creativity of this.

"My hometown is in the Arctic, making it very expensive to throw out large electronics at our dump."

This business gets to participate in charity whether they want to or not. Free TVs for everyone!

"Food isn't allowed in the living room. His tablet isn't allowed in the kitchen. He beat the system. I quit."

This kid has a bright future ahead of him with a logical mind like that! A bright future of finding creative ways to do the bare minimum at work and get away with it.
