Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Rule You Have Ever Seen? (Closed)

Lots of stupid rules exist. What are some of yours?

#1

Felt I should answer my own question.
When it snowed at my school, and they banned students from touching the snow.
Everyone ignored that, but still.

#2

During P.E. In my eight grade year in middle school, we weren’t allowed to bring water bottles. If it’s 95 degrees outside (I live in Virginia so it was from time to time) suck it up. In a class where you are taught to be healthy and take care of your body, it just doesn’t make sense.

1.) We aren’t able to go between campuses during the day even though I always have classes in both campuses. I think one campus is for creative/ fine arts stuff like band, dance, theater, and choir. The other campus is just the library, classrooms, and some kind of tech lab thing where I have robotics. The cafeteria is also on this campus.

2.) my parents are super strict so when I am home, they always give me stupid rules. Like I have to take a shower between 6 and 7pm, I have to eat dinner at 7 pm every day, I can’t go to my room unless I am sleeping, I have to finish homework before 6 pm, I can’t be on my phone past 8:30, I have to sleep by 9:30, I can’t have books or electronics in my room, and I have to play with the dog between 8 and 9. I’m also only allowed to play with one of my dogs then, and I’m only allowed to play fetch or tug of war with him, and I’m only allowed to play with him in the kitchen.

3.) in my school, we aren’t allowed to go to the commons (locker area) while a class is going on. So if you forgot a book or binder, you aren’t allowed to go and get it until class is over, but you wouldn’t even need it then. Same thing for study halls. If you finish your homework for English in a study hall, you can’t just go and get your math homework from the commons. You have to wait until study hall is over.

4.) no pda, which is pretty common. However, I go to an all girls school, and some teachers are more strict about this than others. So some teachers get mad at you for hugging or holding hands lol.

On St. Patrick’s day, we cannot pinch people at school cause that didn’t wear green D:

#5

At some school somewhere (i don’t go there) there is no red anything allowed because it “makes kids feel bad” also (different school btw) no frendship because you feel bad when it ends 😂😂😂

#6

Ok So, When I Was In Highschool We Had This Stupid Rule Where You Can’t Leave The Room Within The First 10 Minutes Of Class Or Within The Last 10 Minutes Of Class.

#7

No hands in your pockets in the American military.

#8

I disagree with jewelry and hair dye rules in school in order to all be similar. That’s the only reason I’ve ever heard and I personally think it sounds really sad that everyone has to follow these rules in order to have no individuality

#9

So in PE if u dont have our bag u couldn’t to PE its kinda stupid because some kids do be forget it but also u can just say I don’t want to bring my bag for PE I don’t want to do PE ;) don’t know if its rules for everyone plus its a French school lol

#10

When i was in secondary school, my teachers weren’t allowed to say anything about the government for fear of being arrested- yes, i am russian, and yes, i have since fled the country

sometimes i still fear speaking in case i’ve got someone watching me or something, i don’t know lol :’)

#11

Most rules exist for a reason and often a good one, though we may not understand it at the time. Outside the human family, nature is still full of boundaries and limitations. The fun is learning how to work with the parameters. Life is a game that creative and persistent souls can win.

#12

‘Stay off the grass’. B******t! I love smoking that stuff!

#13

The “no hats” rule at my school. If they gave a logical reason I would understand, but so far all anyone can tell me is “its distracting.” I’m sorry, but I think there are plenty of things in this classroom that are far more distracting than my hat, as fabulous as it may be. Luckily, most of my teachers don’t care, so I just get yelled at in the hallway a lot by random teachers I don’t know.

#14

No abortions. I swear it is so inhumane to make a 5-12-year-old go through with the birth or anything (also for the age I mean as a show, every one of all ages should be able to get abortions )

#15

any “no tattoos or body art” rule

#16

In the USPS, the carriers can’t combine all the mail together in one bundle for each delivery address in the office . We have to combine 2 to 4 different “bundles” when we reach your address. This is to get us out of the office early but makes for a long, inconvenient day. It’s all a numbers game for management to “time” your route.

#17

my school banned backpacks for no reason

well actually we can still bring them to school but they have to stay in our lockers “or else”

#18

My mom banned me from having a boyfriend, does that count?

#19
