Bachelor parties often get a bad rap - often with good reason.

If you've never been on one which quickly escalated and broke you, then you'll have at least heard horror stories from friends.

So can you blame one concerned wife for equipping her husband with a list of rules to keep him on the straight and narrow while on a friend's stag do?

Maybe not. But there's no avoiding the fact that the instructions in question are a little on the "buzzkill" side of things...

What exactly was she saying, then?

Not only did she issue the following instructions to her husband - but she also wanted them to apply to his friends, too.

She shared the list to Reddit, where it quickly attracted some strong feedback.

The anonymous and (arguably) over-protective spouse's rules include:

1. No illegal drugs

2. No cigarettes

3. No alcohol (it leads to bad choices, apparently, which is half the fun).

4. No strippers/dancers/women at all

5. No fast cars

6. All phones to be tracked at all times

7. No swearing

8. Everyone home by midnight

9. No hurting each other

10. Home by midnight.

We're not quite sure what activities this leaves, but we're sure there must be some options.

Having posted her 10-point-plan, the woman did in fact take in the comments she got in response.

She later wrote: "Okay guys I have taken your feedback and your [sic] right, I can't control him once he leaves the house and I can't control his friends so I've just decided to not let him go."

Which is a twist we didn't see coming.

So...have you watched Game of Thrones?
