What are the barmiest yard rules you've had to put up with...

Recently been told that all likits salt licks etc must be hung on baling twine despite the fact that they have been hung quite happily for past four years apparently now if a horse pulls hard it will pull whole barn down. Not allowed to leave feed buckets to soak by tap. My friend and I had our bikes at yard they were out of site and out of way in a barn and we were told we weren't allowed to keep them there not sure why? Always been rule that gates shut in courtyard area of yard in case horses escape today they have padlocked one of gates back so we can't shut it?! We are constantly told we are lazy liveries mainly because we don't clean out the drain at bottom of yard?! I was under impression DIY livery means you look after your own horse clear up your own mess etc not having to clean drains? But funnily enough it took them a month to fix my horses fence on her paddock when someone else's horse ran through it and broke it? We are constantly nagged about ragwort in our fields which we all constantly pull only to see that there is ragwort everywhere else?! Only allowed to use one side of lights in arena oh the list goes on no shavings unless you take shavings away with you or pay extra for different much trailer
 
Also been asked recently if we should do a fire drill and time how long it would take to turn all the horses out together in the sandschool (horses turned out individually so don't know each other) ok we will do that if your paying the vets bill 😂
