The girl code about getting someone out of an uncomfortable situation is always the most important. I don’t drink and my roommates invited me to a huge party within the dorms, I was happy to go even though I wasn’t drunk, I was happy to keep an eye after them while they were getting drunk, for some reason the party got super raunchy and everyone was like doing lap dances and uh, going back to their rooms, one guy who I thought was okay but didn’t know much about grabbed my arm and tried to pull me into him to give him a lap dance, immediately every single girl yelled at him and pulled my arm back.
Turns out he was arrested a year before for physically assaulting a woman. After that the party died out, my friends and I went to a guys dorm room who was super chill and another “non drinker” he served us all ramen and let the drunk people in the friend group sober up before heading back to our rooms.
It’s really not hard being a decent person
Big thank you to those wonderful people for protecting you😊 we need more people like yall around❤️
More often than not it takes literal effort to be an asshole.
I am proud of humans.
My high school had a zero tolerance policy for fighting. As soon as you were hit you got a 2 day suspension along with the person who started the fight. Whenever students would ask "what do we do if somebody starts a fight with us?" The answer was to not fight.
This lead to no holds barred fights whenever they happened because the penalty was the same for everyone involved. Zero tolerance doesn't work. It just makes everything worse because their is no reason to show restraint due to the fact that you already know your done for.
You should be able to defend yourself as best you can.
my middle school i used to go to had a rule like that... one student got mad at another in the boys bathroom... the student he was mad at was so nice that he wouldn't fight back even though the mad student almost killed him after bashing the really nice student's head into a brick wall repeatedly... this really nice kid ended up blacking out when the principle walked in to help him... the mad student had a worse punishment than what was normally given for almost killing the really nice student... the really nice student was taken to a hospital in a ambulance and survived with only really bad concussion... the thing that makes me annoyed is that a huge group of students were watching and doing nothing to help the really nice kid... I was in class when all of this happened... the really nice kid never got a punishment for getting into a fight at all because he didn't start it or do anything to fight back... the really nice kid forgave the mad student and they are still friends even after 2 years... the mad student felt so bad that he got him a really nice present after doing that...
oh my school has zero tolerance too! ah ive had some great fights before, cause the pentalty is a 3 day in school suspension soooo, its not that bad, half the time we dont even get caught
@@blue-pb7mn You legally can. Zero tolerance is a POLICY, not a LAW, and POLICY does not supercede law.
If I got in a fight at school I would beat the other guy within an inch of life because if I don’t anything I would still get in trouble
So interesting how many parents, when confronted by their adult kids, deny or can’t recall unfair, stupid, or mean things they did years back.
Or downright abusive things, I bet they know what they did but realise that it was abusive and wrong, but they still have the abusive mentality that they're always right
Because they don’t view what they did as wrong
Selective memory and rewriting history. My father. Mother straightened him out on the fly many times. You taught the child that by what you said and did-now don’t be surprised the kid did what they did and come down on them hard and have no clue why the kid truly has no clue why you’re on their case!
Just like the Trump administration. Except they can't even remember last week.
Then they wonder why They’re alone
I was looking after my nephew once. I had to take him to school from time to time and once, for reasons that were my fault he was late. I went into the office to explain that my nephew was late because of me, but they still gave him detention for being late.
This was completely unfair but nothing I could say would convince them to not punish my nephew for something that was my fault. They explained they had a zero tolerance policy on tardiness. No matter the reason, any student who was late had to serve lunch time detention. So I asked what time his detention would be and at the appropriate time I came back to the office and said I was there to serve my nephews detention.
I reasoned that if someone had to serve detention, then it should be the person who was at fault for the tardiness. The principle had already gone to lunch and the office lady, who hated the zero tolerance policy, agreed to let let me serve my nephews detention. I even wrote the lines he would have been assigned to write, modified from, "I will not be late to school." to "I will not make my nephew late to school."
When the principle returned and asked why some random adult was in the office writing line the secretary explained I was (my nephew's) uncle and I was serving lunch time detention because I had made my nephew late to school that morning.
After this they changed the zero tolerance policy.
"Zero tolerance" is just a way to avoid making decisions for when a rule should not apply. It's just laziness. I'd like to think I prevented other children from being punished unjustly.
I'm just glad I didn't have to work that way. But I was so angry about the situation, I might have called in sick and still done it. I absolutely didn't want my nephew to be punished for something that was my fault.
sick dude
FUCK YEAH! FUCK THE SYSTEM!!
That’s not right. As a kid they didn’t do that unless I was late several times in a row. Luckily that wasn’t the case and I wasn’t that late often but I seen it happen to other’s.
@@JillianNoelle Did you go to the same school as my nephew at the same time?
I doubt it, so how dare you call me a liar, because this *DID* happen.
@@erictaylor5462 i think he was talking about the scenario of the zero tolerance, not you being a liar
Most of these "parents " were abusive. Teaching hate and fear. My daughters are now 30 and 26 and they are wonderful and always have been. I'm sorry for all the ppl who had abusive, cruel, homophobic, judgemental parents. My heart goes out to you.
Ryte ?! I feel the same ! So many of these were unbelievable and abusive
It's like- why in the heck did most of those parents even have kids in the first place if they didn't want to be bothered by them.
These people want pets, not people
Aww, I'm so happy you're daughters are doing good. I dont like mean parents.

In 1969, my family was transferred to Rhode Island from South Texas. That was my 1st experience with COLD weather. I wore long pants instead of a skirt to church, which almost caused a scandal, but as a 17 year old, I didn't care. As I walked around in church, I heard critical whispers. But on the following Sunday, several ladies wore pantsuits to church, including the preacher's wife. I was proud of breaking that rule.
The one about the strict parents:
"You should socialize more"
"Then may I go out?"
"No."...
So, this is an ex-boyfriend and it's called narcissism. Once I learned about narcissism, and I had an incorrect presumption if what it really is, my whole world made sense and the healing began. Once I accepted that my mom is and that's why I gravitate towards it, it broke my heart, but in a way like when a bone breaks and isn't set properly. It will heal, but not correctly and will cause a host of other issues and must be re-broken in order to heal the right way.
"Close all the windows before leaving the room in case of fire." Right, because the room is an airlock and the vents, light and power plug panels seal in case of emergency....and if that WAS true...who's seen the movie BACKDRAFT?
My mom: you need to socialize more
19 year old me: Then can I go hang out with friends?
My mom: No
Me in mid 20’s, socially stupid, and never had a gf because I stay indoors all day.
My mom: why won’t you go out with friends or get a girlfriend?? I need grandkids!
Why are you asking permission at 19? Just go
I’m 29 and not allowed to walk a certain way down the road even do on a bike
As a woman, In highschool I once had a red spot on the back of my pants and this girl I didn't even know handed me her sweater and said to even keep it. I wore it everyday, even in spring LOL
This was more of a language barrier problem but I wasn’t allowed to say the word “awesome” growing up because mom thought it was a bad word. I think she was thinking “asshole”. She speaks a lot more English now she says she doesn’t remember ever banning that word. 🙄
You should bring it up annoyingly over and over. My grandparents got mad at me for saying “lie” and I never let them live it down nowadays
I had a teacher in college like the assigned seats one, but she took it a step further: most of her classes were her lecturing shopping with a powerpoint, and she'd also give us printed out notes that went along with the powerpoint. Nice, right? Nope: she'd leave blanks all through the notes so we'd "have to pay attention" and fill them in. I was so annoyed by being treated like a little kid when in college that I literally slept through her class every day because I sat on the far left side and would put my head on my right hand blocking my face from her like I was looking down following along in my notes, then just get the notes from someone else later. It made the nap even sweeter that it was for justice.
Assigned seating and attendance at college is silly. You are paying them for the education. They are to present it, hopefully in a well ordered fashion. You learn it or you don't. Hopefully you will retain what you need for your future. If not, you will need to reteach yourself.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who found the "shirtless at dinner" one creepy when you found out that they were a girl.
GrandCorsair tbh itd be creepy if it was a guy too
if i was that person who had to go through that i would wait until everyone was asleep so i could eat dinner with a shirt on...
Yeah... I would run away
Uhhh THE F**K
Yeah.... weird if it was a guy too
When I was in school, there was a rule that if someone was hitting you/attacking you, you couldn’t defend yourself, you’d be considered just as guilty as your attacker. I (a girl, then 14 years old) had a male senior beating the shit out of me on the bus. When he hit me in the face with a shoe and swung around to try and do it again, I kicked him squarely in the face. Went to the principal the next day, he tried to suspend me too. My mom was livid and went to the school, saved my ass
One issue with the “boyfriend doing sketchy shit” thing, they won’t always listen to you. I told a girl her boyfriend was hitting on me and she was still on and off with him months later.
Some people just shouldn’t have children I swear...
i do hope those people who shouldn't have children actually use all the protection they can get or at least not do "anything"...

It sucks that anyone has to go through abuse, but if those assholes had never reproduced, then a lot of amazing people wouldn’t exist. Suffering can’t be avoided in life. Even in a perfectly setup life there’s suffering.

The head teacher who banned pupils from reading 'Harry Potter' is a smart woman. At her school, I can imagine groups of children gathering in the bike sheds to read those illicit books rather than smoking!

The first story makes me happy that I no longer work in retail and have the job I do now. I work in the laundry room of a nursing home, and sometimes I don't have any laundry to do, so I can do pretty much what I want until I get some. I'm allowed to have something playing on my phone or laptop while I work, and I'm also allowed to sit down when I work. A lot of my time on weekends is spent drawing, watching Netflix, or writing because weekends are our slowest days in the laundry room. I'm also pretty much left alone back here, which is great since I have ADHD and get distracted easily. I'm currently watching this while folding kitchen linens and waiting for my shift to end. When I worked at Walmart, we were punished and separated for making our work fun as well as getting the job finished quicker because our morale was high. We had a specific coach that hated everybody and got pissed whenever she saw associates having fun. One of my managers was decent and would joke around with us and let us have fun as long as we were still doing our work. One time we were quoting vines and the one came up where we were like "What's that pokemon?" "It's Pikachu!" "It's Clefairy!" and then that one manager came around the corner with a big grin and whisper shouted "FUCK", making us all crack up for a minute. That was our running joke, and I'm still friends with a lot of the people that work there. I just have a much better job, even if the pay isn't as good. I actually quit because of that specific coach I mentioned, because she was trying to get me fired specifically because she doesn't like me or my mother (My mom is a team lead over the cashiers and maintenance), and she decided she could only deal with one of us and couldn't get my mom fired since they were on similar levels. She waited until I was over my points to tell me that I could have applied for intermittent leave because I have chronic migraines that leave me unable to get out of bed some days, but I've only had maybe two migraines at work since I started my new job because they're triggered by stress, and my new job isn't near as stressful as my previous one. I actually like where I work now because of the leniency and ability to work at my own pace, and I basically manage myself because my job is that simple. Pretty much the worst thing that happens at my job is when one of my washers or dryers breaks down and I only have one of each machine functioning, but that hasn't happened in a while
I was working at BK back in the 80s putting the buns down in rows of 4 then putting the pattys on them then tops, then put them in the steamer and clean up the grease, rinse repeat. I had the regional manager get on my case for doing it this way and told her with a straight face, this is Burger King I can do it my way.... she walked away and nothing came of it... I find it funny to this day.
33:32 not sure about you, but In my group of girls we practically sit on each other’s laps, or at least knees overlapping. We’ll sometimes randomly run at someone for no reason, jump on them and hug them, or say in a baby voice “I want a huuuug” and there will always be that one friend who you hug 😂 and honestly, it just make your day heaps better.
XD my friends love hugs and cuddles but I'm not a touchy person so I just suffer qwq
One time I was in kindergarten and was cutting up an apple and my teacher freaked out on me but was using a plastic knife and knew what I was doing
if i did that i would tell the teacher that i don't like the skin of apples and doing this is the only way i'll eat it.. the skin just makes me want to gag or nearly throw up if i try to swallow it...it's just the texture of the skin that i don't like... if you peal the skin off i'll eat it as i still like them without it...

33:00 Now we all must be 6 feet/2 meters away from each other.
Oh I miss the days when we could be within 6 inches.
A rule made because of me: I used to wear a cape in middle school, teachers tried to tell me to take it off, so the next day I came in with a copy of the dresscode, indicating that there’s no such rule. Wore it until HS. Eventually after I left they added the rule, lol
10:50 I remember when my little brother threw up 7 times in 3 different rooms. My mom was so mad, I was laughing, and my little brother was crying. I’m pretty sure my other siblings found it hilarious, I don’t remember.
My college had a blanket ban on water guns of any kind. My friend asked somebody in the administrative building what the story was behind this and was told that it was campus police’s responsibility. So he went to Campo and was told they didn’t know where it came from and was something put in place by the administration faculty years ago....I’m so interested in learning the truth.
Got into trouble for not being home on Saturday afternoon when my father called as I was supposed to tell him when I was going anywhere for him to decide whether I was allowed to and to stick to my midnight Curfew. If I argued about being an adult he would quote “my house, my rules”. Told him his rules no longer counted after I had married and moved out the week before. He had even called my In Laws because I hadn’t informed him where I was going, they thought it was so funny.
The one about flying a EMS helicopter was a little far fetched. The FAA has exemptions of rules toward EMS helicopters and are generally unregulated.
Me amd my best friend always think we have to buy each other food whenever we help each other out
During assembly a teacher had a row over people using the toilets as a "dumping ground"
My high school is/was (I graduated) a shop school. We had some pretty “crazy” rules by regular public school standards, by which I mean they listed certain shop rules in the rule book. (one example was it was listed in the rule book that sitting was not allowed. It was entered allowed and heavily recommended in academic classes, but we were not allowed to sit in shop class without special permission because of the unprofessional appearance and the heavy machinery) my favorite rule of all time though has to be, and I quote, “Water is not permitted with the exception of those with a Water Pass” a Water Pass is a little card in the the shape of an index card that simply stated the student in possession of the card would be allowed to drink water from their own personal water bottle (instead of going to the bubbler) due to health reasons and/or due to doctor’s orders. I obtained one of these passes by midway of freshman year because I have health problems and disabilities. The teachers were *VERY* lenient with this rule because they believed it was stupid… until a couple kids in my class brought in a pitcher of lemonade laced with THC and they proceeded to pour travel cups of this funky never to their friends who didn’t really know about the THC. After that we had to have a pass because otherwise we would get either detention or written up based on how many times you were told to put the water away.
I remember when I was in an after school care, they would ban anything that had a small incident. I remember a kid tripped and fell in the small gym they had in there, and running was banned... in the gym
I died at the dale thing that was priceless
Ok so I’m a total gremlin, and the “don’t touch rocks” rule made me want to scream

“No frames thicker than 1 cm“ well that would’ve ruled out my glasses when I was a kid, as they needed to be that thick because of my bifocal lenses
I don't think that is even legaly possible to enforce in my country.
with the music in car thing: play music that most people in the car (especially the driver) would like along with you, (if offered the aux) NOT songs that only YOU would like, you just ruin the car ride for everybody
Yeah. My friends all listen to pop, rap, and classical rock. I'm a metal head. So is my brother, and they know this. For that reason they never let me touch the aux for fear of me blasting black or death metal. They never give me the chance for the sole reason of I like metal. Like, yeah. I like metal. I like a lot of music though. Everything from instrumental to the aforementioned genres, so I'm fine with pop and rap. They will blast all of their favorite songs all day long but when I request one they always ask if it's metal and if it's heavy. Even when it's not a metal song, they rarely play it based on the assumption it's gonna be heavy. It makes me really frustrated and angry with people like this. I listen to a wide variety of bands and genres, but they judge me for the one I like the most. Ironic since they only listen to two or three and are horrible when it comes to listening to anything but those. I don't care if you don't like metal, I get that it's not for everyone. But don't turn around and judge me for it when it's something I really enjoy. I don't judge you based on the music you listen to, so why can't I have the same level of respect?

Amanda Malchuk so do i!! based off my profile picture i clearly listen to a lot of k-pop, and people know that, but they don't let me near the aux because they think that's what i'm gonna play... when in reality i love most music and will just play one of my throwback playlists from the 2000s or something, which is music that all of my friends like anyway

As a Coloradan, it’s absolutely a Midwest thing. I’ve never heard anyone else do that.
21:15 I was chatting with this girl once and this random other girl walked up to her and did this. The girl I was talking to came right back saying she had no idea who that person was.
I always thought it was weird, especially as the girl I was talking to came back. We are still friends all these years later.
My mother told me the “Rest Area 1 Mile” meant that per police order every child in a car had to be quite for a mile- being little I had no idea how long a mile was. Sometimes a mile would last hours. I only found out this was a made up rule was when I was driving with my friends and told them about the rule 😳
I was not allowed to hang with people, watch TV, eat food I wasn't given, leave my room without someone watching me, brush my teeth more than once a day, shower more than once a week, no cell phone, no social media, no email, and any grade less than a high A was a barrage of how stupid and useless I was even though I was an honors student who graduated with a 3.4 GPA. This happened until I was 18.
...I never had a door on the bathroom? I’m guessing that’s not normal
No, it's not. I'm sorry you had to deal with that
Apparently my mom caused the rule to not post computer code on Facebook. It was while she had gone back to college to get a degree. She was in a programming class and posted it to one of the school's group pages because it was a joke you would only get if you knew coding. Apparently the site freaked out about it and crashed for about 3-4 hours. Not sure if it was the entire site or just a portion but once it was back up she got a message from Facebook IT to not do it again (apparently they got the joke and knew the post wasn't malicious). Shortly after that there was a notification saying that posting code was not allowed and could be terms to have your account shut down temporarily or worse. It was hilarious though.
In my middle school we weren't allowed to be on our phones unless we were sitting on specific "electric benches" which were basically just cement benches placed randomly around the school. You would get your phone confiscated if you were on it anywhere else - your lunch table, the lunch line, etc.
Also in my school we had a gallery outside of our library. In 8th grade we got a new librarian and new rules were implemented in the school. When it was cold out we would go into the library before classes started. We weren't allowed to be on our phones in the library. It didn't matter if it was before or after school. So we would go out to the gallery but the school made a new rule where we weren't allowed to loiter in the gallery even though it has fricking chairs.
My parents never really made any ridiculous rules while they were still married (divorced when I was 11), mostly because my mom is normal but my narcissistic control freak dad was usually at work or with his mistress. But when I was 9 until my parents separated and then divorced when I was 11 I wasn't allowed to sleep over at a friend's house unless it was agreed upon at least 6 days prior. We were an expat family in Beijing, living in a guarded compound and my friend lived literally 3 houses down and one street over, a less than 2 minute walk away. I have no idea why. My older sisters could sleep over even if it was decided that night and my mom didn't mind but my dad did.
Also after the divorce I stayed at my dad's every other weekend and was not allowed to sleep over at a friend's house ever on a dad weekend. According to him sleepovers had to be during mom weekends because she got me during the weeks as well and he wanted to spend time with me. Thing was, my mom and I never spent time together during weekdays, I was busy with homework and she was busy with work. I also couldn't hang out with a friend during the day on Saturday or Sunday on dad weekends, this was for the same reason. I was only allowed to hang out on Fridays and I wasn't allowed to do so if I went to my dad's to drop off stuff before doing so. Aka if once I got to my dad's on Fridays I couldn't go back out anymore. What was even dumber was that my mom and I lived outside of the city I went to school in and my friends lived in, and going to see friends from my mom's meant an hour bus ride per way, my dad lived 15mins away from the center of the city.
Got in trouble for pda i was hugging my younger sister to witch i responded "this isnt Alabama"
At my job if your shirt is tucked in, you have to wear a belt. If you don’t want to wear a belt, untuck your shirt. They don’t care either way. We had a previous employee cut off their belt loops because they thought it was a ridiculous rule and tucked in their shirt. They are my hero.
In 2004, I was in middle school. Teachers specified no ipods were to be out during lunch. However, I liked having music for bus rides and loud cafeterias, and found a loophole and brought in my walkman. (to be fair, I didn't get an ipod for another year) One of the admins saw my headphones and was about to say "Put away your [ipod]...." but was visibly confused at the foreign, retro box in my hands, and just finished his sentence with a deflated "THAT". and walked away. I did put it away for a minute, but the moment always stuck with me.
This one is my new favorite! Lots of good advice in some sections, lots of fun stories, and lots of WTF moments… it’s perfect!

Went to a Halo tournament at a store in college for a midnight release of Halo 3. The organizers wouldn't let me change my control scheme even though I never played default (so I would have no idea what I was doing and be terrible) and my opponent was telling them to let me change them, because they said they wanted everyone to be on a level playing field by using the same controls. It's been more than a decade and I still get mad thinking of just how completely stupid their entire "reasoning" was and how they just stuck to their guns even though every single player was telling them that was idiotic. Of course, I lost horribly. Couldn't even invert the y axis.
I came home from the military in my 20s and my mom said I had to be home by 11 pm or not until the next day.I came home in the morning 2 days in a row and then moved out.And she had the nerve to ask why I was moving out. Lol

1:33:37 if you are over 18 that is assault, would advise talking to police or a lawyer.
An addendum to the not going for the balls rule, in my early 20’s, Jackass was popular. Jimmy taps were entirely acceptable with my group of friends. Not straight shot punch to the nuts, a small tap that’ll have them groaning for a minute maximum.
To all the BRO'S out there. Your sister wants to talk, shell listen, and bail you out too. Thank you to all the posters for both female and male. All of these rules should be universally celebrated, thank you too all the bros for taking care of the sista's, and ladies, watch your girls drinks at the bar and never go freshen up alone. Fkn crazys in there man!
When I was in 4th grade (this would have been around 1979) they made a rule just for me. "No student shall turn their foot backwards or remove their leg during recess (I am an amputee if that isn't already obvious). They made this rule because of activities I engaged in while playing at recess. A teacher took me to the office, but they could not punish me (that time) because what I had done was not against the rules. So they made these rules.
Fast forward many years. I'm dating a school teacher who was promoted to become assistant principle at that same school. She was assigned to look at the school rules and make updates to them.(Apparently this had not been done in quite some time).
She laughed and pointed to the rules that were still on the books just as I quoted them. I'd like to think that after I left the school a great many teachers were confused by this rule.
Geometry teacher: "stay in line"
Me: "we are in a line! It's just very messed up!"
Geometry teacher: "ok get in a straight one"
The male code for eating bananas was so funny! It's enough to put a self-conscious guy off eating one in public. I guess the code is to stop others thinking you are gay - but if someone else is scrutinizing the way you eat it, I'd say they are the freak - whatever their sexual orientation or gender.
The one about the urinal - A counselor and I were talking about random strangers telling us intimate things about their lives. I've heard things that, if it were me, I would never tell a soul! He told me he was at a sporting event and used the men's room before going to his seat. He was the only person in the room at a urinal when a man walked in, stood next to him, suddenly turned his head and said: 'My wife just left me.' When that kind of thing happens to me, I just listen and offer what comfort I can. I'm telling you, some of the things I've heard...
My secondary school had both ties and scarves, as in a little square of patterned material that you fold in half then fold in half again then loop it round the neck and put the loose end through the loop on the other end. We had certain shirts for ties and certain shirts for the scarves. If you wore either vice versa you would get sent home. Also we had to buy our uniforms at a certain shop and were sent home if our skirts were too short. One girl was so tall all the skirts available in any shop were too short. We also had a rule that we weren't allowed to wear patent leather shoes. They had to be smart, plain leather shoes.
My folks had a “home gym” in the basement with a punching bag hanging from the ceiling. I was told to use the punching bag if I needed to but when I did I got yelled at. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!!!
Ha! I read that "no cracking your knuckles" one right as i was doing it.
In preschool, my "teacher" made us sit in circle time and listen to her blabber on for two hours a day. Mind you, the average adult attention span is roughly 45 minutes. She expected two hours of undivided attention from preschoolers. They told my parents that because I would look around in boredom during circle time, I must have ADHD. I do not have ADHD.
the one with the pills was shocking to me cause a while back I had to take like 8 pills a day or something and I almost overdosed.
Glad you're Ohkay. Ily
My dad was pretty strict really.. Once we get in trouble or grounded we werent allowed to see friends and go hang out with people, even when we get low grades, our grades needs to be a c or better. But you have to ask permission to go places and you have to ask in a day in advance. Tell him what you are going to do, our curfew was at 9 or 10 (for the older one, which was me though it barely was there when i was 20 and had a boyfriend, now my husband), but you have to be home early or else if you were on the time or later, your late and we get into trouble. It can result into us not being able to go out. I even had to ask to drive places with my car they got me unless i have to do stuff (like drop the kids off to places they need to be, pick them up, groceries, go to school, etc.) and i have to be in bed by 10 (just barely because i was in collage.). I also was only allowed to use my phone at 2pm and can only use it for 5 hours (lucky!) but it needed to be out or given to my parents so they can keep it in their room and lock the door. Electronics down at 7pm no matter what. I wasnt allowed to sleep in my sisters room, i had to stay in my room. If we didnt do our chores we werent allowed to use our phones or electronics. I one time got grounded for 3 days to a week at 19 because i didnt clean the microwave before using my phone. if youre playing games then thats just an 1 hour and 30 minutes no more unless they allow it (which is special times)... well, there is more but it would turn longer so i'll leave it at that
I've had this on loop for three hours
I forgot how much being a teenager sucked
Yes yes it does
In my middle school, there were two hallways, one for fifth and sixth grade and one for seventh and eighth grade. No one in fifth or sixth grade could go down the seventh and eighth grade hallway, and vice versa. My stepbrother and I are very close in age and were in the same grade. In Seventh grade he got a detention because he was bringing something to a sixth grade teacher, and a seventh grade teacher, who also was not supposed to be there, caught him. Also, if the bell rang, and you weren't in the classroom, you were late. One time, I forgot my phone in my pocket, and bolted to my locker to put it back, I got there and slowed at the door, the bell rang AS I WAS STEPPING INTO THE DOORWAY, it was the same teacher that gave my stepbrother a detention, she said, "Late!" and i said, "I was in the doorway!" She said, "Nope, you were a few millimeters out." Everyone in my class, even the suckups, agreed with me that that was stupid. A friend told me after that she had never seen me look like i wanted to hurt someone so bad before.
The bro and girl code rules struck me as generally wholesome help everyone if you can and it was much needed as a pick me up.
Records are made to be broken, and so are rules.

If you need food or water when your job is to stand/sit guard to watch people for hours on end... I suggest for you to learn how to fast during the day, like how some religions teach their people. Not only fasting though, but also meditation or breathing technique, just to calm yourself as you stay vigilant through your job routine. You don't have to jump straight into fasting from dawn to dusk, but learn how to extend the hours gradually, & have with you high-calorie snacks & water when you're allowed to take a break in private. Good luck with your fasting practice :)
24:58 I always had the rule that Driver makes choice of music he could hand it off but you have to do as the driver says be is the one keeping you alive give him his music
Two guys in my high school bought dresses and wore them to school. It was homecoming week and they weren't allowed to attend the pep rally simply because they were wearing dresses
That soda can one hit me hard, I do that crap at work
1:25:00 my parents aren't strict but holy shit that sounded like my parents.
"stop playing games and socialize"
"can I go to (friend) then"
"no you will just play games there"
It either ended with me just continuing playing games or going to a friend to play games.
Around age 14-15 they gave up with the rule.
TheBlackVelvetWolfe- That's awesome
"Surrogate bro" lol those rules are actually pretty nice
OOOOK, real quick, just want to point out that the school at 45:13 is actively breaking the law. There are legitimately laws that state that people HAVE to have access to a bathroom if it is needed, from pre-k to working a 9-5, if you are prohibited from going to the bathroom for an "emergency", they are committing a criminal act. And more importantly, under no circumstances are schools allowed to do anything like that to phones, or anything else they confiscate from students. Unless the object in question is illegal, the school has to turn any confiscated object to the parent upon request, in the condition is was taken. If a school even so much as changes the settings on a confiscated device, it would get into serious trouble.
Bathroom thing: nospank.net/couture3.htm (near the bottom, a technicality, but looser has held up in court.)
About the phone thing: I was unable to find something that directly stated it, but this : blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2018/08/do-parents-own-their-childrens-property.html pretty much states that a childs phone could be considerd the parent's property, and there are definitely laws that prohibit destruction of property.
33:30. I have an idea for this. Everyone simultaneously doing the jazz hands while flipping him the bird.
In my old junior high school, we weren’t allowed to wear hats or hoods outside on campus even when it was raining
This school was in Washington state
i love how that at my school, we are ABSOLUTELY ALLOWED to defend ourselves, but then again we do have armed police every once in a while come and all the time we have security at the school so fun
2 hours and not a single ad. I love you dude.
6: never wink when earing a banana.
7: never tounge-in-cheek when eating a banana

Well, I guess roomies are a-ok to do the dirty then? LOL.
3:20 wow... The guy lasted 2 weeks and he didnt get caught. He must've been pretty tired.
Oh boy, here is my list my dad and step mom had for me because they secretly hated me, but not my brother or step brother
1. I can't sleep with my comforter at night because I'll get it dirty from my skin, even in North East PA winters 🥶
2. I couldn't walk across the hall to my bedroom in a towel after a shower because my brothers might look at me and like it.
3. I couldn't spend more than three minutes with my door closed after a shower or my dad thought I'd be playing with myself. He started making a habit of barging in on me immediately after showers and caught me undressed on MULTIPLE occasions. Then he got mad when I started locking my door to change after showers. When I did that, he'd go outside and try to peek at me through the window but it was pretty high off the ground. One time when I was 13, he caught me with my pants down while I was trying to put a pad in my underwear. He got mad at me for not doing it in the bathroom. 🤦♀️
4. I wasn't allowed to get my license until I was 18 because my dad was worried I'd take the car and go sleep with boys 🤦♀️ both brothers got their licenses and had jobs at 16.
5. My dad had to do "bra checks" on me regularly after I turned 13. Sometimes this included forcing me to open the neck of my shirt so he could look down it. If I wasn't wearing a bra, I had to go put one on, even at home or during the summers.
6. I was supposed to tell my dad when I was on my cycle so he could make sure I excluded eggs and dairy from my diet. My step mom convinced him that this makes period blood smell bad, and if it smelled bad then everyone would be able to smell it. (I'm convinced she just had something medically wrong because this was never true for me). My dad started getting mad at me when I didn't tell him if I had my cycle. He thought I was hiding a pregnancy sometimes too 😑🤦♀️
7. I was peer pressured by my dad into taking birth control at 17. My doctor fully supported my decision to not take it for autonomy, and because I told them (in private without my dad there) that I didn't want to, I was comfortable using just condoms. My dad didn't agree with the doctor and forced him to write a prescription. If my dad didn't watch me take it everyday all hell would break loose and he would call me names. I never saw him buy condoms for my brother's. He only cared about my personal life, not theirs.
8. I wasn't allowed to hang out with friends as a teen, so I'd always sneak out. My brothers were allowed to leave the house whenever they wanted.
9. I wasn't allowed to have my childhood male friend in my bedroom with the door wide open and him standing in the doorway while I folded my laundry because my dad thought we'd get *fancy* and he only wanted to see my underwear 🤦♀️
10. I wasn't allowed to use Super or Super Plus tampons because my dad thought that meant I had been having sex. I would always bleed through with regular tampons and pads. I was a cheerleader and on swim team, I NEEDED stronger tampons. I got diagnosed with Endometriosis at 28 and now it makes sense as to why they were always so painful and heavy.
11. If I bought new clothes/bathing suits without my dad, I had to model everything when I got home. When I turned 16 it started to get awkward doing this for bathing suits because I was finally started to develop as a woman. One summer, I bought my first string bikini when I was 17. He made me model it on the back deck for him and his drunk friends that were all in their late 40s. He then proceeded to get mad at me for wearing something inappropriate in front of his friends because they whistled at me and made comments about my body. I was mortified.
12. I wasn't allowed to talk during dinner. Everyone else could talk except me. Eventually I started saying I wasn't hungry for dinner and I'd eat at midnight, which caused me to loose 7 pounds. The school nurse was worried I had an eating disorder. I'm 5'4 and 7 pounds was a lot of weight. I was 110 and dropped to 103 in six months.
13. I had to do spankings with no clothes on until I was almost 9 years old
14. If I tried to defend myself in an argument, my dad and step mom took that as disrespect. My dad frequently threw me around by my hair, choked me, and threw stuff at me. One time he took me a mile into the woods to throw sticks at me saying he was going to kill me for ruining his life. He said he was in the Army, he knew how to get rid of people and make them disappear. I was 16 or 17 at the time and had never been so scared in my entire life. When I told my counselor at school but asked to stay anonymous because I knew I'd get in trouble, CPS got involved and told my dad I'd filed a complaint myself against him. The inspector said that since I lived in a nice house that they saw nothing wrong! My dad said if I ever contacted them again then he was really going to do something to me. CPS is a joke and I still struggle to ask people for help to this day because i feel like no one will believe me.
Just because someone lives in a nice house doesn't mean they're not having difficulties at home....
I moved out at 19 and joined the military. I haven't seen my dad face to face since 2011 and REFUSE to go home. I'm 29 now and struggling with some C-PTSD but I'm doing do much better.
first 2 years of senior school we weren't allowed coats with fur hoods. this was in the early-mid 2010s, those coats were the only ones you could get. not entirely sure why the rule was there tbh
