"I was irritated by the fact that the rules that always applied to children never seemed to apply to grown-ups at all," he thought, noticing the double standards in how adults behaved compared to children.
Despite being the ones who enforced the rules on children, adults often ignored or broke them themselves, creating a sense of unfairness and frustration in the narrator's perspective from John Boyne's book, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
