I hear sentiments like this a lot as if everything in the universe is over regulated.
What do you believe are some examples of things that are over regulated?

Ok, this is a very good question.
Thinking about it, I cannot think of any area I know about that is regulated, as a baseline, too much for my taste.
BUT:
E.g. 2 years ago I thought that the logs of my app (whiĉh is SOX-relevant - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes%E2%80%93Oxley_Act ) weren't nice, so after talking to the other team members I slightly changed them to e.g. align strings (using tabs instead of fixed chars) and posting more informative/detailed messages.
When the auditors performed their review they saw that the new logs did not match the old ones (aaargh - string mismatch!!!) therefore we had to go over each change, checking why-it-was-done-by-whom-based_on_which_request_and_did_it_get_the_approval_to_go_live_and_was_it_reviewed_and_signed_off_by_business_after_go_live etc..., so an infinite pain. This is what over-regulation means technically for me :)
This logic makes me really sad. You're complaining about overregulation when under-regulation just killed 300 people because you had to make a few changes in an app once. Please think about this more deeply than, "I know a few hundred people died, but lets not respond too harshly and have me spend a few more hours on my apps".
Please do that next time.
From the OP: "I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING"
"Haircuts seem overregulated"
"The drug approval process might move too slowly"
So on one side we have "planes not crashing", "electrical codes being followed", "air quality not as bad as in Shanghai".
On the other side we have "haircuts are over-regulated".
Hmm, not sure which side I'm on here...
Thx :)
