People who grew up with strict parents, what was their most unreasonable rule?

I was called at a friend's house at 11 p.m. at night because I left two t-shirts slung over the chair of my room versus hanging them in my closet.

I had to go back to my house and then I was grounded for a week.

Upon getting home, my mother had gone through my entire room and tossed every item out of

my dresser.

She claimed they were messily put in the dresser.

Fun stuff.

My mom was very strict about the rating of movies and video games.

One year for Christmas, a relative gave me a copy of Star Wars' Shadows of the Empire for

the Nintendo 64.

It was a T-14 rated game and I wouldn't be turning

13 for another four weeks. My mom had my dad drive me to Toys R Us to return the game.

We walked into the store and over to the games counter and he had me pick out an E for

everyone rated game. We proceeded to the checkout and as we went to the car, he handed me not

only the new game,

but the game we were supposed to have returned to buy it as well, and told me not to let her

cast me playing it. My mom's curfew was 7 p.m. and her brothers was 12 a.m. Her brother was

about two years younger than her, and my granddaddy's logic was that girls get themselves into

more trouble than boys.

My poor mother only ever attended church functions for fun until she graduated from high school.

My stepmom decided that I was using too much shampoo.

She would get a little medicine cup before my shower and pour the designated amount into it.
