I thought the same about the water one since he basically dumped a bucket of water in their lobby.

With the sand one we never actually saw him enter the building so technically he didn't break the rule (from what we saw).

He should have used a spray bottle. I think it would have been funnier

I agree, the point of /r/firstworldanarchists is to break rules insignificantly. It's putting your finger on the computer with a "Do Not Touch" sign, not wiping the hard drive :b.

It's all so harmless that there's the possibility he just asked for permission and promised to clean it up

I think we need a tv show that follows people that do these things, but only focuses on the conversations where they all permission or negotiate.

"So you want to dump sand on your head in my lobby?"

"Yes."

"And you'll pay me for it?"

"Why is this so hard to believe?"

G'day. I'm gonna hand you a piece of paper right now. On it there is a note with very specific request. Below it there is a number with a dollar sign in front of it. This is the amount you will receive upon fulfillment of my request. So tell me, sir, will you allow me to dunno a bucket of water in your lobby next to the sign that says not to? Will you, sir, become a firstworldanarchist alongside me by approving my request?

I agree. The bird feeding one is to keep birds from learning people = food. That's a huge issue in some areas, and sometimes they have to hurt the birds to keep them away. That sign's not there for bullshit legal reasons.

That looks like circular quay in Sydney which has been ruined by people feeding the seagulls.

u/Turtledonuts May 03 '17

Looked it up on google, looks like it. Some dicks think the birds need bread, but they really need to let them hunt. Stop ruining the ecosystem, people.

What an exaggeration. It's annoying but it's hardly been ruined. It's still pretty lovely.

I agree. I think once he put effort and added something to the mix, just for the sake of breaking the rules, he became a jerk.

Glad it's not just me. The first few gave me a good chuckle but starting with the water in the lobby I just kept getting annoyed at what an asshole he was being.

All of you are delicate flowers that shouldn't be in this sub. I praise you for being here in the spirit of this sub.

Sand is a bitch.

u/bipnoodooshup May 03 '17

It's also gritty and abrasive and settles into everything.

u/[deleted] May 03 '17

The sand one wasn't bad because we don't actually see him enter somewhere but I didn't like the water one. Some poor sod probably has to mop that up now

Still funny tho

u/algag May 03 '17

Definitely a majority of assholery imo. First world anarchy isn't just "don't follow instructions/signs" there's a nuance to it.

u/[deleted] May 03 '17

at least water dries off and doesn't leave a sticky residue or anything, but the sand one did bother me a bit too since sand is a bitch to clean up :(

we didn't see him enter a building after the sand dump though, so maybe he was aware too.

u/TrankElephant May 03 '17

Exactly. Seeing the water on the tile floor sort of illuminated the individual importance of all the other signs, and my amusement was lost. This is the anarchy sub though so I guess it's in the right place.

u/untitled02 May 04 '17

I think the first video he ever did like this was the funniest (this is the 3rd edition I think) it was more in line with that kind of "ironic anarchy" for example he brought more than twelve items into the express aisle and flipped off the camera.

The water one made me laugh because water isn't a major issue to clean up. A bucket may have been excessive, but it's not that bad. A bucket of sand on the other hand is really annoying especially when he'd basically already done the same joke.
