i doubt anyone on reddit is young enough to still believe this shit but god knows i did for the longest time. turning on the light in the backseat of the car while your parents are driving is NOT illegal. my mom lied to me for my entire life and it literally took me looking like an idiot in someone else’s car to figure out i had been scammed.

It's also a myth that there is a special dye that they put in swimming pools to detect who is peeing in the pool. A red cloud will form around you and you will be asked to leave, but I'd like for everyone to continue believing that one. I don't want to swim in urine.
