Strange laws abound in several nations, dictating things like no fart, time inquiry restrictions, and too many dogs!

1. Florida is not the place to fart.

On Thursdays, you might want to go out of the house and breathe some fresh air since in Florida, it is illegal to fart in public spaces after 6 o’clock in the evening.

2. There are some times of day when you shouldn’t inquire for the time

Among all the laws in Spain, the one governing Madrid is among the most unique. Asking the time is forbidden daily from 3:29 pm to 6:47 pm. Plus, asking whether it’s okay to inquire is probably against the rules.

3. In Spain, you are only allowed to walk so many dogs at a time

In terms of passing outlandish legislation, Spain appears to be among the leaders. To give you an example, it’s illegal to walk more than eight dogs in the country at once, so keep that in mind if you’re planning on doing so.

4. Keep your face polite among dogs

In contrast to Spain’s leash-walking restrictions, certain regions of Oklahoma, USA, place a premium on a dog’s emotional well-being. They could throw you in jail if they find out you made faces at the decent doggies

Thanks for reading.🙂
