The Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood Rule

The Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood Rule — This rule is similar to The Slipping into Darkness Rule. If you hear any version of the song Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood in a movie, television show, or documentary, it is pointing to an individual in deep thought and torn between two worlds.

The Gifted season 1 episode 1
Nobody
Oz season 1 episode 8
Luther season 1 episode 6
Aquarius season 1 episode 13
Snowfall season 1 episode 1

What Happened to Miss Simone
Titans season 3 episode 7

Jungle Ruler

A man who is capable of consuming copious amounts of alcohol and illicit substances for multiple days in a row, while still being an FTL (full time legend). The name hails from the famous race horse 'Jungle Ruler' who became addicted to crystal meth and was often scratched after putting half his head in a bag of smack before a race. A true 'Jungle Ruler' is a real stayer, and his actions defy belief being able to stay alive after 4/5 days on a drug fueled bender. Long live the 'Jungle Ruler'

1st Person: Did you see that Jungle Ruler Josh at Tramp last night?

2nd Person: Yeh i did, his been there for 3 weeks

1st Person: What a fucking Jungle Ruler, YOLO!!

Rule number 5

“Show no love. Love will get you killed.”

Rule number 5 is When you love someone so much and they break your heart. Typically when a guy will give a girl everything and she cheats or falls out of love.

Friend: What got you into the gym bro? What’s your motivation?

Me: “I broke Rule Number 5.”

Mike Pence rule

A rule stating that men should never put themselves in a situation where they can be falsely accused of rape, sexual assault, or fraternization. The rule is named after Mike Pence, the 48th vice president of the United States.

In 2002, Mike Pence told the Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side.

This rule gained widespread popularity after the #MeToo witch trials of 2017. Proving innocence is often difficult or impossible, so the easiest way to avoid false accusations is to avoid women altogether.

Due to the Mike Pence rule, I can't mentor any of my female coworkers.

Kendzior Rule

When you let powerful people commit crimes, they will resurface later and commit more crimes. This will come as a total surprise to everyone who still believes shame is a deterrent to the powerful and corrupt.

~ WTF!? Didn't that guy go to prison for the last time he pulled this shit off?
~ Yeah. Total Kendzior Rule! Dude doesn't give a fuck.
