10. Pick up the trash, but not too early in Sandy Springs, Georgia, USA
The sounds that accompany garbage collection are undesirable at any time, but particularly before 7 a.m. for the residents of this area. Although it is not exactly a separate law, picking up the trash before 7 in the morning is deemed a transgression of the noise ordinance of Sandy Springs. And if you do partake in a breach of this ordinance via premature rubbish collection, you can actually be jailed, as was demonstrated when a sanitation worker spent two weeks in jail. His crime? He just happened to do his job a tad bit too early: at 5 o’clock in the morning to be precise. He was actually sentenced to do more time, but the authorities let him off early.
