5 second rule
An unwritten law dictating that if a food or other consumable item is dropped onto the floor, it may be picked up up and eaten within five seconds. The reasoning behind this is that dirt and germs take six seconds to transfer from one surface to another.
"Oops, dropped my popsicle. Five second rule!"

5 percent rule
After you break up with someone, you are not allowed to mourn over the loss for more than 5% of your time being with them.
The 5 percent rule goes like this: you can mourn over the loss of a boyfriend or girlfriend for no more of 5% iof the time being together (as previously stated). FOR EXAMPLE, if you dated someone for 60 minutes, you can mourn over your tragic loss for 3 minutes (if i did my math correctly)
