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?

my brother's mateis a lovely kid but his mum, by reputation, is a bit of a nutter. When he was in 6th form she used to kick him out of the house for no reason every now and again, things like that.
Anyway, one summer he was back home on holiday from uni where he was doing a course in forestry and tree surgery. He'd had a few beers in the afternoon and was in the garden taking some branches off a tree. The inevitable happened and he fell (well, his story is that he thought he'd jump from a high branch, grab a low branch and swing gracefully to the ground...) and landed badly. He went back into his house holding an arm that was clearly broken. So you'd think his mum would call an ambulance, yeah? Well, apparently she doesn't trust english hospitals, so instead of an ambulance she drove him to the airport, packed him onto a plane to fly to france (she's french) to get it treated there. If I hadn't heard that story from my mum I'd never have believed it.
p.s. apeloverage - if you don't like being flamed stop posting such smug nonsense. Simple as. Oh yeah, and note that I've never flamed you myself, this is just friendly advice cos you seem to be getting a bit defensive :) like.
