People Share Weird Rules They Had To Follow At Friend's Houses

Everyone has some kind of vivid memory of going to a friend's house as a kid, being told how things are a little different, but never being given a complete explanation as to why

Everything's going fine, but all of a sudden your friend explains that you aren't allowed to say the word "beef," and that you can't wear shorts at the dinner table or else his dad will fly into a violent rage. It's unclear at the time, but since you're a kid, and you're used to following rules you don't understand, you just kind of roll with it. Later your friend explains "also, we're not allowed to go on the couch, and even though the dog's name is Martha, we have to refer to her as "Madame" whenever my mom is around."

Alright dude, sure.

For some intriguing tales of rule-based drama, here are people describing times they were responsible for new rules.
