I saw something a while ago on this (a study or something) and I cannot remember right now what it was.  I hope to be able to find it.

I think its because, doing something unexpected (breaking the rules) gives a sense of being free. Doing something unusual, makes them feel that they doing something new, novel, which gives them some pleasure.
