5 second rule 

Rule invoked whenever dropped food is picked up and consumed in the presence of others. Time can vary widely depending on the type of food dropped: a sirloin steak at a barbecue may have nine lives, while a street vendor hotdog is declared unfit for consumption even before it touches the ground.

Once I saw it slip from his tongs, I asked the street meat vendor if I could get a new sausage.

5 minute rule 

A rule or general guideline for the amount of time that should elapse from the time your boss leaves work to the moment you leave. This time buffer, used in corporate settings, will allow you to sneak away from work 'early' without negative consequences.

The boss just left - '5 Minute Rule' then we take off?
