The "Seven Minute Rule" states quite simply that if the meeting organizer has not joined the meeting within 7 minutes of the start time - the meeting is therefore officially cancelled.
It was designed by the British Upper Class to ensure punctuality and minimize time wasting.
With globalization and in particular the deterioration of Corporate Culture around the world - this rule is making a comeback and used throughout offices around the world

Get the minute-ish mug.
when you have a project or anything really due at a certain time and you don’t wanna do it whatsoever, you always say “eh i’ll do it in 10 minutes”. 10 minutes as in an hour before the class that it’s due in.
