What's a perfectly legal loophole that feels completely illegal when you use it?

Can't cancel within 24 hours. Can rebook. Rebook for next week. Wait a day, cancel.

One loophole that always seemed unfair to me is that I can't cancel within 24 hours but the doctor/counselor/therapist/psychiatrist can cancel within 2 hours. When I learned this, if something came up and I needed a quick cancel, I'd use hard persuasion to get them to cancel for me if I had to.

A parking spot is only a handicapped spot if it has both the painted symbol on the ground and a sign visible while you're parked in the spot. Maybe not completely ethical to park there, but it's 100% legal.

Last night on a certain 10:00 show (which I won't name, in order to respect rule 5), they were talking about a loophole where a president/governor/mayor (of a number of countries but also in business) could have an unlimited number of terms by being a running mate before the actual candidate resigns, giving the candidacy to the running mate each time. I've seen this on lower levels (e.g. governor, mayor, etc.) often, and, being involved in local affairs myself, kinda have benefitted. I say all of this in a neutral tone and in a legal context, not in a context of polity.
