Life isn’t always fair, but we do have rules to keep the playing field as even as possible. Our entire lives revolve around various sets of guidelines that we’re expected to adhere to. Whether it’s to keep us safe or prevent a catastrophe, there’s a specific purpose behind every rule.

Sometimes we don’t even realize that a rule is needed until someone brings a certain situation to our attention. Here are some people who are solely responsible for the creation of new rules.

Gave myself a concussion in a college yoga class by having my mat too close to the mirror/ballet bar. It’s now a department rule that you can’t be next to the mirror while stretching or doing yoga/Pilates. It’s been 7 years.
