People rarely like others telling them what to do. It takes away our agency, our ability to make decisions, and our freedom to act a certain way. It can also remind us of our childhood, but not in a good way. It takes us back to our early years when parents controlled our lives and we had little say in what we could or couldn’t do.
Some rules, of course, are there for our safety. But others, especially implemented by bosses at work and teachers in school, can be borderline absurd. One person recently asked, "What's the most ridiculous rule you've had to follow at work or school?" and it seemed to bring back lots of memories for folks online. Over 1,000 people shared their stories where nonsensical rules at work or school left them exasperated, living rent-free in their minds to this day.
