Society has to move at the speed of the slowest person, ie it only takes one idiot to ruin something good for everyone else.
The Dave Principle states that 1 person ruins it for everyone. "We used to be able to drive as fast as we wanted, and then Dave had to drive faster than he could handle and killed a bunch of people. Now we have speed limits. THANKS DAVE!" -

Get the The Dave Principle mug.When an authority figure gives clear instructions to a group of people, multiple times in some cases, but most or all of the group fails to follow the instructions given in any way, potentially causing the authority figure to dwell into madness.
Teacher 1: Man, I told my students to draw 4 lines, but most of them drew 5, and some didn’t even draw lines!
Teacher 2: Ah the Perkinstein Principle, don't you go mad now.

Get the The Caruana Principle mug.When a bro rates a female on the 0-10 scale, the personality principle describes the influence of personality upon the rating. The effect personality has in terms of rating decreases toward the extremes of the scale.
0's and 10's: No possible change from personality
1's and 9's: Possible change of 1 point up or down (as a result of personality)
2's and 8's: Possible change of 1 point up or down (as a result of personality)
3's and 7's: Possible change of 1.5 point up or down (as a result of personality)
4's and 6's: Possible change of 1.5 point up or down (as a result of personality)
5's: Possible change of 2 point up or down (as a result of personality)
A 10 will always be a ten no matter how bitchy or cool they are; a 5 can possibly be a 3 or a 7 depending on their personality
PSA for all women, your personality matters!

Austin: "Hey dude, I met a dime last night but she was a mega bitch. Still a 10 though.
Andrew: "Did you meet any other women?"
Austin: "Yeah there was this decent-looking 5 but she was super cool. After the night was over, I'd rate her a 7."
Andrew: "That's The Personality Principle at work, bruh."
