For me, it generally has a lot to do with whether rules were told to me or if rules were discussed with me. Rules that are here for my safety, I break them and I'm unsafe, so I play those by ear. Rules that are here for your convenience, I break them and I'm disrespecting you, so I play those by ear. Rules that are here for a general benefit to everyone, I break them and I've devalued my neighbors, so I play those by ear.
Rules applied to the things I am priveledged to and choose to subject myself to, I break them and I am shooting myself in the foot, so I play those by ear. Rules applied to situations I have been forced into, I only worry about getting caught.
