Odd town rules that people have

I haven't come across any, though to be honest, from my point of view the rule about 'Don't talk to my animals' really detracts from the experience of AC. If I have someone visiting; I don't care if they talk to animals; in fact, I'd encourage it, seeing as it makes the world of AC seem a whole lot larger.

I guess it depends on what you consider the AC experience to be and you could say that lots of other things would also count as things that go against the AC experience.

I think that's true if you're visiting friends and are allowed to explore their town. If you're doing trades, though, I don't think it's against the AC experience to have more rules to enjoy your town more or to keep things efficient. I wouldn't mind having my friends talking to villagers and if someone I'm trading with asks I'll usually agree, but if I'm in a hurry that's only going to be annoying.
 
I haven't really seen any rules that I think are completely unreasonable, it's more how people go about communicating their rules. One person on Tumblr was having a giveaway and said "check my town rules first", and it was all worded suuuper aggressively, like "DO NOT leave my sight for ONE MINUTE I will error and blacklist you FOREVER. I WILL escort you anywhere you need to go but you need to ASK ME first and if I speak to you you MUST answer me RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT talk to ANY of my villagers or go into ANY houses if I find you respectful I will ask you if you want to go to main street but DO NOT ASSUME I WILL JUST LET YOU GO UP THERE"

Like, a whole page of that, really confrontational and hostile. I decided not to go to her town not because the rules were unreasonable but because it really just seemed like she didn't want people in her town to begin with... so why open the gates at all?
