There are a ton of hilarious reasons why someone in The Good Place's afterlife could wind up in the Bad Place. The Good Place's point system judges humans by asg a certain number of positive or negative points to every action they took while they were alive. Get enough points, and you'll be rewarded with a blissful existence in the Good Place ... but failing to reach that threshold will get you sent to the Bad Place for all eternity. It sounds like a perfectly logical system, but, of course, there's a catch.

Some actions that land you in the Bad Place are pretty obvious: murder, theft, the usual high crimes that we can pretty much all agree are a net negative for human society. But the reasons The Good Place's characters are there don't rank up with the worst of humanity. Turns out, there are some less obvious — and pretty hilarious — actions that also contribute to a person's negative point total. Here are some of the funniest ways that someone can get a one-way ticket to spiders crawling out of their butt forever.

12 Scamming Old People

Yes, You Get Paid, But At What Cost?

Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) did a lot of selfish things when she was alive, and scamming old people was one of them. One of Eleanor's jobs was selling fake supplements to the elderly, and she really didn't care that her employer wasn't totally above board. As long as Eleanor got her paycheck at the end of the week, it didn't matter that the supplements didn't work, or that the company was taking advantage of how trusting their customers were.

11 Doing Charity For The Clout

"Like I Was Saying To My Friend Taylor..."

This one might seem a bit paradoxical because one is doing charity, which is supposed to be a good thing. But one of the things that a lot of negative point actions have in common is that you're doing them for selfish reasons. It is definitely not a great thing to care more about how giving back makes you look than what a charity organization actually does for other people. That is, in fact, a bad thing. And Tahani Al-Jamil (Jameela Jamil) went to the Bad Place for it.

Sidebar: charities naturally attract famous philanthropists, and getting involved with one just to be connected to celebrities is also inherently selfish. And let's not get started on name-dropping people in power to make yourself look more important than you are. You might have important people in your s list, but does that really make them your close, personal friends?

10 Being An Artist

Not The Same Thing As Doodling

The Good Place posits that artists are naturally self-absorbed, and having that level of selfishness is going to rack up negative points really quickly. Of course, not everyone who's ever doodled in the margins of their notebooks is "an artist." They've got to be an artist who's pretentious, aloof, and more than a little thoughtless, with the intention of inspiring legions of sycophants and fans. We're talking Kamilah al-Jamil (Rebecca Hazlewood) levels of artist, here.

We never got any details about how or when Tahani's sister Kamilah died, since it happened during the long stretch of time in the series finale of The Good Place. At this point, the Soul Squad had reformed the afterlife's messed-up point system, so Kamilah wouldn't have gone straight to the Bad Place for being an artist — but getting over herself was almost certainly part of Kamilah's off-screen redemption arc.

9 Having A Destination Wedding

You Get Extra Negative Points For Having A Themed Destination Wedding

Are you really going to ask your nearest and dearest friends and family to shell out for pricey airline tickets just to go to your wedding? And are you going to make them wear goofy costumes once they're there? Congratulations, you've just earned yourself negative points for having a destination wedding — and a themed one, at that. Not everyone can afford to scrimp and save to go somewhere they might not even want to go, and they don't want to waste their hard-earned vacation days to fawn over a cousin who peaked in high school.

8 Having Personalized License Plates

Of Course, You Own The Road

They don't call them vanity plates because you're humble about them. With personalized license plates, you're practically insisting that others see you as the most special person on the road. And those vanity plates are only one of many traffic-related offenses that will garner negative points. There's the dude with the flashy car and the plates that read "BOOBGUY" pulling into the breakdown lane when there's traffic. Or the lady with a stolen scarecrow stuffed into her enger seat so "MAMASBMW" can use the carpool lane.

7 Being A Contestant On The Bachelor

(Or Just Really Emotionally Invested In It)

We all know that reality dating shows like The Bachelor (and The Bachelorette) aren't really real, but some folks just can't help playing with other people's hearts if it'll get them their 15 minutes of fleeting fame. According to The Good Place, even being super-emotionally invested in whoever's giving and receiving those roses is enough to net you at least a couple of negative points. Eleanor is among the fans who encourage the cattiness and petty drama just by continuing to tune in every week.

6 Microwaving Fish At The Office

Everyone Microwaves Fish In The Bad Place Break Room

Unless you have had the misfortune of working in an office where someone has not only brought leftover fish for lunch but also microwaved it in the common break room, you don't even know how heinous this one is. And if you have been in an office where someone microwaved fish, you definitely know. Everyone in that office knows. Everyone is going to know for the next week because everything in that microwave is going to smell (and probably taste) like fish — at least, until someone overrides it with burnt popcorn.

5 Taking Off Your Shoes and Socks On A Plane

Or A Train To The Medium Place

Much like microwaving fish at the office, taking off your shoes and socks on a plane is a genuinely smelly reason someone can go to the Bad Place. The shoes alone are bad enough, but your socks, too? All other people are asking for is common courtesy. Also like the microwaving fish example, this item is considered a perfect marker for the generalized litmus test to decide if one should be sent to the Bad Place (which Eleanor amazingly es).

4 Starting A Fire In Your Mailbox To Get The Mailman Shirtless

... Eleanor, No

When they say every action you take on Earth results in points, they mean every action — including highly specific ones, like that time Eleanor committed a little bit of arson on government property, as a treat. Doing something that's never been seen before means the pencil-pushers at the Neutral Place have to figure out how many points it's worth. The novelty of a brand-new, unique thing probably would've put a smile on the ants' faces if they weren't so, you know, neutral.

3 Being From Florida

Being From Is Also Bad

Most of the reasons people go to the Bad Place are based on active bad decisions that people make for selfish reasons ... and then there's being from Florida (or ). The Good Place paints Florida as the United States' armpit, where a dismal education system and few economic opportunities create a whole state full of people like Jason Mendoza (Manny Jacinto). Deep down, Jason is warm-hearted and kind, but Florida made it impossible for Jason to think things through or see beyond his own limited scope.

is similarly insular, but in the opposite direction, as The Good Place's French people are trapped by an inflated sense of superiority. As Michael (Ted Danson) points out, stealing a loaf of bread will net you a mere -17 points, but stealing a baguette is worth -20 points, just because it's "more French".
