Watch your language at Toronto\u2019s parks! According to local law, it is illegal to swear in a public park. The bylaw states, \u201cWhile in a park, no person shall indulge in riotous, boisterous, violent, threatening, or illegal conduct or use profane or abusive language.\u201d So when you\u2019re in Toronto, avoid cursing like a sailor and keep the parks friendly!<\/p>\n

Well, in Pennsylvania and Colorado, it’s illegal to sell cars on Sundays. Maybe this is proof that Sundays are meant for relaxing!<\/p>\n
3. Having A Permanent Marker<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/expatsi.devstudio.work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/kids-markers-jpg.webp\")
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSeveral states in the US including Florida, California, New York City, and Illinois have this quirky law that says minors under 18 can\u2019t have permanent markers in public. It may sound silly as I\u2019m sure we all remember using permanent markers as kids, but there’s some logic to it. The concern is that kids with permanent markers might end up causing some mischief, turning everything into their canvas for graffiti! The law even goes as far as to ban the sale of permanent markers to minors.<\/p>\n

The ordinance, enacted in 1961 as a publicity stunt in Gainesville, even caught the iconic Colonel Sanders for not sticking to his finger-lickin\u2019 motto! However, there are no serious repercussions for breaking this law, and you\u2019ll only get \u201csentenced\u201d to finish your meal fork-free, just like Colonel Sanders was.<\/p>\n

Photo Credit: Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn the town of Goodyear, Arizona, there’s a law that’ll make you think twice before you hock a loogie! It’s against the law to spit in any public place, including in or on any buildings, parks, sidewalks, or roads. If you get caught breaking this rule, the spitter could face a fine of up to $2,500 and can even spend six months in prison. As absurd as this law is, I guess it serves as a reminder of good old-fashioned manners. At the end of the day, it’s all about good hygiene and protecting public health.<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s a big no-no in Nigeria for non-military folks to dress in military attire or any \u201cdistinctive\u201d part of it. Unless you\u2019re in a theatrical production or going trick-or-treating, steer clear of armed force member clothing!<\/p>\n

The logic behind this law is obviously about keeping the roads safe and making sure drivers can see the road. Although it\u2019s a little concerning that driving blindfolded needs to be spelled out; we sure hope that drivers don\u2019t need a law to tell them it\u2019s not safe to drive while blindfolded!<\/p>\n
