list of standard acceptables

A set of rigid rules and regulations that dictate how one must behave or act to conform to societal norms and avoid any form of deviation. These guidelines are often created by people in positions of power who seek to control and manipulate the masses to maintain their authority and status quo. While on the surface they may seem harmless, in reality, they stifle creativity, innovation, and individuality, leading to a world where everyone is a mindless robot, blindly following the dictates of those in charge.

Sorry, I can't wear that to work, it doesn't meet the list of standard acceptables set by management.
