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?

traumatisedmy parents would force me to wear frilly itchy party dresses when i was a child, many of which my mother made herself
and these rather fetching homemade floral trousers with elasticated waists, nice. was eventually allowed to wear normal clothing by the time i was 11 thank god. that was more confusing me with a barbie doll than strictness tho to be fair, and any actual strictness they have displayed is just their paranoia over what the wicked world could do to an innocent young girl -but it did mean that they needed to know where i was 24/7 which would have rather cramped my social life if i'd been honest
i was particularly amused by the occassion my mum told me i absolutely was not allowed to go out dressed like that, as my stocking tops were slightly visable below the hem of my skirt (er, i went through a slightly lacivious punk/rock chick phase, i probably thought i looked like lorri peti in tank girl, i digress) so she made me take the stockings off. i was a littel bemused as to how wearing less was going to improve the situation, parental logic eh!
in the same vein of paranoia, she tells me to watch out for terrorists every time i go to london...... errr, what, cross the street if you see someone who may be carrying a bomb?
