Strict ParentsI always thought my parents were quite strict, but I can't think of anything they actually banned me from doing, whereas a good friend was under no circumstances allowed to watch ITV because of the adverts.
This week's Time Out mentions some poor sod who was banned from sitting in the aisle seats at cinemas because, according to their mother, "drug dealers patrol the aisles, injecting people in the arm."
What were you banned from doing as a kid by loopy parents?

Conversation with a guy at work......now this guy, at work, was well known to have a son and daughter who were pretty out of control. Always in trouble with police, petty crime, the usual.
So, I was chatting with him and he mentioned he was really pissed off with his son.
'Why?' I ask, thinking he's killed someone or somthing.
'I forgot to lock the kitchen, and the bastard drank all the milk.'
Thinking I mis-heard, I ask him what he means by locking the kitchen.
'Well, my kids eat too much. So I lock the kitchen to keep them out. Or they eat all my food. They eat, all the time. Always eating.'
17 year olds NEED FOOD COS THEY'RE STILL GROWING I mentally shout. I think this is really weird, but he carries on..
'I lock the living room too.'
'er...why that?'
'The bastards go in there and watch my DVDs and mix them up on the shelf. And then they play with my remote controlled Ferrari. And they lounge about the place.'
'Your remote controlled what?'
At this point he goes into a total fanboy rant about ferraris, and this scale-model F1 car he's got that goes really really fast and it's great, and his son played with it when he was out and broke a wheel, and he doesn't realise that 'it's not a toy..'
Jesus - he's a kid himself who hates kids.
So basically, his children live in a bedsit. They are only allowed in their bedrooms and the bathroom. Well, I assume they are allowed at least in there anyway...
No wonder they're so fucked up.
