A rule often employed for those who seem to be over-exuberant or too comfortable in their surroundings. 10 seconds before you start speaking, stop.

Get the Ten Second Rulemug. An unofficial rule in restaurants that dictates that you have at least 30 seconds to pick up a dropped steak, or lobster etc. from the floor before it's considered contaminated.
Owner:"Hey where are you going with that steak?"
Employee: "It fell on
the floor so, I'm throwing it in the trash?"
Owner: "30 seconds rule, wash it off and put it back on the grill."
