Rebel Without a Cause

Is anyone else frustrated with the amount of rules we have in society? I don't just mean rules like stay to the left hand side of the road or don't marry your sibling. Those rules are fine and I am very happy to abide by them. I just feel in other areas of life there are SO many rules and it's hard to keep track of them all.

Don't go swimming for at least half an hour after eating. If you in the sun you need to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, if your in the water it's every half an hour. Look left and right before crossing the road but don't run across you have to walk. Don't feed or pet the animals. Don't wash your face with normal soap you have to use a special face cleanser. Don't brush your hair when it's wet. Don't be single if you don't have a legitimate reason, if your young and single we will assume there is something wrong with you. The customer is always right. Wash new clothes before you wear them. Don't wash jeans after wearing them the one time, you should get at least 5 wears out of them. Sleep for at least 6 hours a night but no more than 9. If you are in a library, at a funeral or at a posh boutique you can only speak in hushed tones or a whisper. Brides wear white, long dresses and have between 2 and 4 bridesmaids. Don't feed your pets chocolate because they will get cancer and die.

That's just getting started! There are so many rules it does my head in! I can't remember them all. I can't even remember my 7 times table. They don't even matter, the rules that is (although I question the necessity of the seven times table.......and the eights. I mean honestly when do you need to know multiples of 7s or 8s and 6s for that matter).

I've had enough of these ridiculous rules and I'm here today to say that I brush my hair when it's wet, use hand soap to wash my face, feed the cat AND dog chocolate and sometimes I run across the road. So come on, who's with me? Lets rebel against the ridiculous restraints our society places upon us! Let's do what we wanna do be who we wanna be YEAH!
