Rules piss me off. They really do. Petty, ridiculous rules, from the days when wearing “incorrectly coloured” socks to physical “education” “lessons” was a crime to which way up you hold your fork when you eat.

Would you believe I managed to have an argument on which way up you hold your fork when you eat?!

(That is, I was the one claiming that it really doesn’t matter, not that “this way up is correct”.)

Rules piss me off; when people live their lives by an unspoken system; people become robots.
