Rules and the Squeaky Wheels

I am finding one of my pet peeves is when rules are established by fearless leaders and all minions are told what to say and how to enforce said rules and then a squeaky wheel shows up and all of a sudden there are "exceptions" to the rules. THIS DRIVES ME INSANE!! It happens in schools, it happens in libraries, and I am sure it happens elsewhere. The problem is that the squeaky wheel gets the oil per say but the nice quiet wheels that follow rules do not. These quiet wheels often have nice quiet training wheels that never get the same benefits as the the loud, obnoxious, and often irritating squeaky wheels.
