40 Acts Of Petty Vandalism That Were Technically Crimes But Morally Justified

In the vast and chaotic universe of Reddit, where subreddits range from deeply philosophical to downright absurd, one corner stands out for its peculiar brand of low-stakes rebellion: r/MildlyVandalised. As the name suggests, this online community is dedicated to sharing instances of gentle mischief—vandalism that’s more humorous than harmful, more clever than criminal.

With over 300,000 members, r/MildlyVandalised celebrates the kind of harmless defacement that makes you do a double take and then chuckle. Think “STOP” signs cheekily altered to say “DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’,” or museum placards with facts playfully edited to confuse or amuse passersby. It’s not about destruction—it’s about creative interruption.

Check out some of their funny posts below.

Helped a coworker finish this masterpiece he had on his truck—with some dry-erase markers. Not sure why he stopped at red, blue, and green; but, doesn’t it look great?!
