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.

"Yay," Harry raised his fist in the air. "Let's go have a drunken house party."
"Harry," Sirius interjected a voice of reason. "You're in first year, you can't get drunk."
"Rule 47-5" Harry replied smugly.
"Oh . . . right," Sirius nodded. "Never mind, you can get drunk."
"Yay," Harry and Sirius rushed out of the room.

It is not socially acceptable to go out with anyone within the three year age bracket. This only applies if the younger of the two is 14-16 years old.

Rules 1-36 should be the only excepted rules of the internet, as rules 37+ start to devolve into mindless, unfunny, repeated, and contradictory bullshit.

Chelsea: Hey, those three guys are totally hot!
Carla: Forget it, Chelsea. They go to NYU.
Chelsea: You think the three-thirds rule applies to them?
Carla: They're all wearing popped polo shirts and making out with each other when their girlfriends leave the room, so... yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Chelsea: Dammit!
