From sharing Netflix passwords to jaywalking, most of us don’t exactly live 100% by the book. The truth is, life is too short to go out of one’s way to follow every single rule out there. Sometimes, people end up feeling a little ashamed, but some habits are simply too useful to skip.
Someone asked “What's something sneaky you do that you feel no guilt for?” and netizens shared their best, potentially unethical strategies. We also got in touch with MinkSableSeven to learn more.

Take a day off from work and not tell friends or family.
Sometimes you need a good day off from everything and everyone.

I "sneak out" of my apartment, even though I am in my 20s and don't live with my parents. But I don't actually do anything bad. I will just go to the gym or the grocery store or something. But there's something exciting about leaving your place at 2am to go to a secret activity.

Now, not recycling. After seeing the trash guy throw my recycling in with all the trash like its the SAME THING numerous times, i have stopped. I called the city and they said they would look into it, and nothing changed. If they don’t care, neither do I anymore.

Sneak down to the good seats at baseball games. No one is sitting there anyway so I don’t feel bad.

I often wear airpods at work or when walking around. Most of the time, no music is playing, but I pretend it is or that I am on a call when I run into anyone I don't want to talk to

I wrap my ice cream in plastic bags and hide it in the freezer so I can have it when I want to eat it. If I don’t, my sister will eat the entire thing in 1 day.

Sometimes when I want a snack, I’ll take a spoon and get a big scoop of chocolate frosting and eat that straight up.

On occasion, when I prefer to shop alone, I may inform my husband that I intend to visit a thrift store, as he generally dislikes such establishments and would prefer to remain at home.

Not sure if I'd say sneaky, but if I make myself dinner and it gets ruined for some reason(I either drop it after plating it up, overcook it, use the wrong ingredients that I THOUGHT would be a good match etc), I order the biggest fattest pizza there is. My little way of flipping the universe off for putting things into motion so that I have a crappy meal.

I go thru my husbands change and take out all the quarters and us them to buy coffee. I always do it at night and I giggle every time he texts me the next day asking if his baby’s coffee was good.

When I roast a chicken, I always eat the oysters. Don’t think family even know it exists

I Keep a s**t ton of junk food in my nightstand so when I feel like having something sweet or chips etc I don't have to go in the snack draw and fight with the kids about "there" snacks.. and it makes it so much easier at 3 in the am when I wake up and need to have some sugar.
Kids still have no idea I have my OWN snack drawer

I use real cream in my coffee. I have a French press. I order special coffee from Community Coffee, which l hide. I don't share it and l won't make it in an electric coffee pot. This is for me and my BFF and granddaughter.

Sometimes I wake up to make coffee and I'm out of creamer. Since the market isn't open that early, I'll hit 7-Eleven near me, get a large coffee cup and fill it with flavored creamer. That way I can make about 6 cups of my own coffee instead of paying for just one.
This rarely happens but when I do it, I don't feel the least bit of guilt.

Break off the bottom part of asparagus that you would cut off anyway so I don't have to pay for it. There's usually trash cans around, so I just toss it in there.
