12 month rule

The 12 month rule is when parents have to stop saying how many months old their baby is after they reach 1 year old. Some parents say their baby is 34 months old. They make you do extra math when they could easily say 2 years and 10 months old.

The Iron Maiden Rule

The unwritten rule of music (mostly but not exclusively metal) that states that only Iron Maiden are allowed to wear their own band shirts on stage, by virtue of being Iron Maiden. It has been broken numerous times. The worst offenders are probably Amon Amarth, who wear their own merchandise in every photo and every video in which they aren't shirtless.

The reason for the rule is the same reason why it's generally gauche to wear a band shirt for the band you're going to see: band shirts are generally a way to broadcast your tastes and in so doing support a band that people might not have heard of.
Watain broke the Iron Maiden rule by painting their own emblem on their bare chests.

McSummer Rule

The unwritten rule that comes into effect when McDonald's temporarily changes the price of all fountain soft drinks to $1 for summer.

The rule states that one MUST purchase a large-sized drink, regardless of the situation. In theory, this is to avoid possible fear of needing to drink more and teasing. Some may even buy a large drink simply because they are afraid of not getting every penny's worth of soda.
A: Hold on Jeff, let me go get a large coke.
B: I thought you were trying to lose weight.
A: Hey, it's cheap, and that's why I'm getting one.
B: Why get a large though?
A: Dude, it's the McSummer rule!
B: Whatever. You're not actually gonna drink the whole thing are you?
A: 'course not........just don't question it.
