At LegalMasters.bg, we often see the humorous side of the field we work in. That is why we have thought you might enjoy unwinding on a Friday with an easily readable article related to law. Here is the first collection we have picked for your and our amusement! In it, we have selected 5 wacky laws from around the world.
Some countries have laws that are more than extraordinary. We have gathered 5 of our favourite wacky bans and would love for you to share which one wins your ‘sympathies’.
1.In Australia, after noon on Sundays it is forbidden to appear in public wearing pink pants.
2. Kissing and cuddling at train stations are prohibited in England. In general, there are signs saying “No Kissing” everywhere. But the reason is not indecency: the government believes prolonged hugging will delay passengers.
3. Chewing gum is prohibited in Singapore. Locals believe that chewing gum harms not only the environment but human health as well.
4. In 2008, the Japanese government implemented an annual waist size requirement for people aged 40-74: no more than 86 cm for men and 90 cm for women. Those who “don’t comply” with the size receive a fine. This way, the state fights against obesity and other related diseases.
5. It is forbidden to fall asleep in a cheese factory in North Carolina, USA.
