How are you with authority (online or not)? Do you obediently follow their rules, even if you don't agree, or do you question them and their "stupid rules" every day?

I just try to cooperate with them, but when they're not around I'll vent my anger at them inside my head, and it sometimes comes out and gets me in trouble.

Rules are rules. If I'm told to follow, I will. I try not to argue with authority. If I know what I did was not wrong, I'll bring it up, but if I know I was wrong, I'm wrong.

Authority is here to try and keep us calm and out of trouble, which I appreciate, because I know quite the few people who'd be in prison within minutes if they didn't have some authoritative figure around them.

So, thank you cops, future cops, and any other type of authority. You keep everything under control, and I appreciate that. c:

Online: I have kind of an odd relationship with forum moderators and such, mostly because of bad experiences in the past,I dont want them talking about me at all really. I usually try to avoid trouble at all costs and obey rules but at the same time many times I dissagree with their decisions and rules sometimes and it can make me quite angry at times, but at the same time I have the desire to help them keep the forum going,and be a good forum user and someone they would respect,so its kind of a mix of things to be honest. I know that might seem weird but that's what I think.

Offline: I generally respect authority figures like bosses, parents, etc.

Both online and offline, I tend to just follow the rules and guidelines. Sure, there are stupid rules everywhere, but I still follow them to stay away from trouble and I hate fighting so I stay away from that stuff.

Obey the rules unless you want the consequences, simple as that. Question them, debate them, do as you please but ultimately unless you're prepared to suffer the consequences for your actions and the consequences for those around you.

**** authority. If I feel like it's wrong, then I'll break it. And I will probably get myself killed with that mindset, but............seriously, who would bother saving me atm? =)
Aww Controversial? Don't think like that, I'm sure lots would.

I follow rules that make sense to me. If there is a rule in place and I really can't see the reason for it or at the very least the logic behind it, then I won't. I won't go out of my way to disobey the rule, but if a situation comes up where doing what I want clashes with the rule, then I'll err on the side of doing what I want.

This happens most often at work where some of the overly anal rules and safety practices just make no sense whatsoever. For instance "if an aggressive customer attacks you, do nothing." Uh, excuse me? If someone hits me I'm not just gonna lay there and take it and let him thump seven kinds of crap out of me. I'm gonna grab a bottle of spirits and do my worst. Not that that particular example has actually happened yet, but yeah XD

I respect authority, but will question it if I think it's silly or don't understand it. But not in a dumbass way. We were watching Parking Wars at my maw maw's house today, and MAN those people freak the hell out over stuff. Pay parking tickets, and that stuff won't happen to you bro. I can say though that as an authority figure here on PC, it really bothers me when members get SO upset over the littlest things, like a locked thread. And they PM me cussing me out and all that crap and it's just like "I didn't make the rules, I'm just doing my job" and I wish people would understand that more, and that goes for other forms of authority too. When rules are enforced, we're just doing our job. It doesn't mean we need a new one, it doesn't mean we're disrespecting you, it's just what we have to do. -shrug-

I pretty much always follow the rules no matter what setting it's in. I respect authority and understand my place.

However, if I find a certain rule unfair, I'll do my best to argue it. Be it a forum rule that I disagree with or a rule in a classroom, I'll bring it up privately (or in a non-volatile fashion) with the authority figure to tell them why I think it's an unfair rule and what I think would be a good way to alter it so that it is fair. I always try to be rational and constructive. Usually I've had good results with this and because I'm so calm and helpful when I bring it up, authority figures are usually quite willing to hear me out and discuss these things with me. It usually leads to either a change in the rules or I come away with a better understanding of why the rule is in place and I learn to respect it.

I don't mind rules and tend to follow most of them because there's no point in not doing. But also... I'm very very argumentative. I like to do my own thing. This bit of me doesn't show much on PC because I don't take issue with any of the rules here. But at school there were so many useless rules in place... things that applied to the majority of people for a reason but needn't have been enforced on me etc. I got around them with logic, stubbornness, by breaking all the rules and eventually I managed to become exempt from practically everything. :D

The main problem with authority I have is when I don't think the people in charge should be in charge of me. That's the bit that people see on PC occasionall. People taking charge where they have no place and talking down to me as if they can command me... nu-uh. I can't be having that.

And if I disagree with anyone in these contexts, oh they are damn well going to hear about it.

OMG I'm such a sucker for following rules. When I was younger, I'd be scared to do anything that could get me in trouble at all. Even if it was some stupid rule set by a teacher in school that no one else would follow, I'd feel really bad if I somehow broke it accidentally. Indeed, I had one detention in my entire school time, and I cried as soon as I got home because I'd broken the stupid rule of 'forgetting my book for English'. Pathetic, I know. But, to this day, I still really don't like to break rules of any kind. It's just an ingrained part of my personality, really!

Usually I stick to folowing the rules. At school, on the road, online, I usually play nice. Only exception is at home, where my parents have the most ridiculous set of rules (Lights out at 9 PM? Really?!) that I get some sort of smug satisfaction by defying and seeing how far I can push them. Evil, I know... I try my best, mwahaha...

Depends on the severity of the punishment if I break them.

I'll argue about little things I disagree with, but tend to do what I'm supposed to in the end. If I actually get in serious trouble for it? I follow every rule to the letter. I haaaaate getting into trouble! It'll get me down all day if I do something wrong.

For the most part, I follow. There are times when I get rebellious. I dunno if you've heard about it, but recently, there was this school who hosted a ****ty Wednesday dress code protest? Yeah, that was MY school, and I was the one who made the video explaining it. And I broke it. Didn't get in trouble.

I have gotten in trouble with the law a few times, mainly for jumping the turnstile in the subway. But I just get all sweet and innocent, and they let me off. They were nice cops. =D
he did it, not me.

I'd say I'm good with authority, as long as it stays reasonable and I won't feel denigrated or wronged. I have an extreme sense of justice and if I feel something is not right then I won't hesitate to point it out.

I try my best to always adhere to rules, be it online or offline. If I don't agree with them I probably wouldn't be there in the first place.

Rules can still be confusing at times though, and I even have had people telling me (both IRL and online) "the rules are mostly for show", this is when rules becoming confusing for me. I'm normally a passive person though, so that probably is helpful for keeping myself out of trouble.
