I hate it when people lever authoritarian pronouncements at me instead of allowing me to judge for myself what is safe, or reasonable.
For instance, (no offense JadziaDax) I can't stand it when people tell me that I can't sit with my chair on two legs. I have never once fallen that way, and if I were to slip, I would just get a bump on my head.
Or people telling me that I shouldn't go rock climbing,
or that I should go to church,
or that I can't buy beer until two pm on sundays,
or that I shouldn't have sex, etc.
