Some rules make a lot of sense, but sometimes they exist just to get in the way

OP decided to share the story when her cooking reminded her of it
Bored Pandagot in touch with OP and she was kind enough to answer some more questions that we had. First and foremost, we wanted to know why she picked crepes as an option to sell over literally every other possibility. “They are very inexpensive to make (compared to cupcakes and cookies) and they are easy to store and keep warm. More than that, people could choose what to stuff them with, so it created a lot of options,” she shared with us.
This is a classic example of the letter of the law verses the spirit of the law
Despite the massive gap in ages and authority, the principle was forced to capitulate and accept OP’s change in product. After all, he had set the rule and done it in such a way that a clever enough person could easilyundermine it. He can’t just go back on his own words, even if OP has completely circumnavigated hisrule.
That being said, there is no denying that rules, ultimately, are pretty important. After all, every company and wanna-be-millionaire would be looting us dry if they could get away with it. The internet is awash with examples of just that, fromhotelsthat lie on ads, to bosses that exploit theirworkers. While OP didn’t become a lawyer, it must be comforting to know that there are individuals out there ready and able to unleash their full pettiness against unjust rules and regulations.
People thought the story was hilarious and OP shared some more details
Others congratulated her and gave their own, similar stories
