Only 1 or 2 hours allowed on a pc/xbox/anything else that can be used for gaming (except handhelds) per day, that rule was a nightmare (and not the good kind of nightmare).

None at school, really. Some of the teacher's can be strict, but whenever I read something like this I realise that my school is made up of hippies.

Back when I was in school, it was punishable by detention to say the word 'gay'.
Also, if you acknowledged agnosticism or ethenticity that wasn't caucasian, you were expelled.

Goddam Crackers...

Social norms to start with.

See I am a follower of a party that called 'The Sweden Democrats' (Sverigedemokraterna).

In the public eye, they are stabbled rasict bastards. However, if you look into their politics, you'll see that it is not the case.

But that don't stop everyone from calling me a fuckhead. Pff, even my mom thinks I'm some kind of nazi. WHICH I AM NOT!

Also, the laws here in Sweden is way fucked up.

Like a child rapist can get 3 months but a guy that fired fireworks on a football game got 2 years.

Yeeeesh, there is something wrong here.

High School dress codes are pretty ridicules where I'm from. They do such a half assed job of enforcing it that NO ONE is ever in dress code.
Urgh, lucky. my school, two boys got expelled on their last day of school ever, just because they came in wearing the opposite genders uniform, aka, skirts. Seriously, expelled.

Adding insult to injury, the school just up the road is so lax that two guys were wandering around in tutu's and burger king crowns, going from classroom to classroom and holding them up with bananas. They got nothing.

Our schooldress code was the worst. Burgandy knee high sports socks. eeew.

Jaywalking, but it's never been enforced upon me. I just consider it silly to cross the road twice, when it's easier to go across diagonally.

When you're jaywalking, you usually only have to look two ways. At most cross walks, you've got anywhere from 2-4+

School uniform. Utterly despise it. Especially since there are a myriad things they don't enforce.
Seem to like ignoring the fact that the equivalent of a small tobacco plantation is smoked daily on school premises. That corner is knee-deep in butts.
But as long as we all look the same, everything is fucking dandy =D

Not being allowed to run during recess in grade school because someone might fall or get hurt. Then all the teachers complained when we went back to class full of leftover excitement and energy from our brief freedom.
No correcting the teacher because they're the adult and always right (actually said by our principal) and no having intelligent discussions about politics or religion or life because the teacher is trying to teach us about dangling participles or false history.
I would pop a blood vessel weekly if I were in your class.

You must wait to be dismissed from the caffeteria to play outside. (But I'm finished eating...)
I had the total opposite to that. We weren't allowed in the canteen unless we proved to the dinner attendants (which were sort of like canteen bouncers) that we had money, and intended to pay for food. If you had you're own lunch, god help you, you were fucked. You couldn't sit in the foyet because you'd get crumbs everywhere and it's "Extra work for the cleaners" despite that being their fucking job, you weren't allowed to take it outside because of "litter" and you couldn't get into the canteen because you weren't paying for food. Basically unless you wanted to just shout "FUCK YOU!" right at the deputy head, who was the douche to end all douches, you'd go hungry.

Oh that, and the fact we had 7pm detentions (Yes, 3:10 till 7pm) and if you didn't turn up to them, you were suspended for a week. And they acted on the guilty until proven guilty system.

God how I hated that shithole. AND it was a fucking Catholic school....

Apparently I'm no longer allowed to lightly punch younger students. I know that sounds ridiculous, but he's my brother. He laughed after I did it. There was no problem.

And I am over 18. I have a car, I'm not a minor. But apparently I'm not allowed to have alcohol in my car. Even if it's the boot, and I'm not drinking it at all. Bloody ridiculous.

Huh..Reading over all this..Something needs to be done. School is bloody ridiculous.
Or, you know, people could take a moment to think about the underlying logic behind the rules and not fly off on a hyperbolic rant about the idiocy of adults. Most of the "injustice" mentioned so far makes perfect sense if considered for just a moment. For instance, you can't run in corridors because a) it's dangerous for you, and b) it's dangerous for other people. Schools are responsible for your safety while you're in their care, they are legally liable if you are injured or if your actions cause injury to someone else that they should have foreseen and prevented.

Similarly school uniforms are not about creating conformity or stifling your creativity. They're primarily about ensuring school remains a place of education, not a fashion show. They are designed to make it so that students don't feel the need to compete in how they dress, so that the less advantaged kids aren't so obviously segregated based on their clothing, so that students can be identified both on and off the property, and so that a level of decorum is achieved that reflects the serious nature of education and the learning that is supposed to be taking place.

Let off a little steam by all means but also take a moment and think about why rules exist - there's always a logic there that should be understood. Whether that logic is legitimate is up for debate but ranting about stupid rules without understanding their reasoning contributes nothing.

You would have had the time of your life if you were in my class. No one respected the teachers and most stopped enforcing the rule when 95% of the class simultaneously told them to fuck off and stop suppressing our intellectual development. The teachers that did enforce them however made would make you homicidal. They were also terrible teachers.
