Are there any other major or minor scales in piano that break the rules?
I know the F major scale breaks the fingering rule of 1, 2, 3, thumb under 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and makes it 1, 2, 3, 4 thumb under 1, 2, 3, 4 instead. Can anyone tell me if any other major or minor scales break ther rules of fingering?

B major. The fingering is totally reversed: RH: 1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5 LH: 4,3,2,1,4,3,2,1

This is not breaking rules. This is using the rules for THAT scale. Hanon is still the Bible for that -major and minor, and arpeggios. Yes, there are situational deviations - and there are some other systems. Learn your scales in groups by common fingerings - and then worry about f# harmonic minor in parallel sixths when you need to.
