You use the San Fran Rule to avoid lengthy indecisive discussions about what restaurant to eat at or what to do next weekend. The first person will tell the other(s) to give 3 choices and the first person MUST pick from 1 of the 3 choices. If more than 3 choices are given, only the first 3 mentioned will be considered. This can be applied to almost anything: what workouts to do with your workout buddy, what club to go to next weekend, etc.
Origins: Circa 2001. You can easily spend 45 minutes driving around San Francisco (or any large city) for both a restaurant and parking because nobody can make up there mind because of all the choices. This has been tested and in use for almost 20 years, and 3 is the perfect number, no more no less.

Them: Babe where do you want to eat tonight?
You: San Fran Rule - what about X, Y, or Z? I'm up for any of those tonight, so you decide for us.
Them: Yeah, Z! Let's go there.

Get the San Fran Rulemug. by The inspector June 9, 2018
Get the Rule 32mug. Once you meet a girl and she offers you steady pussy. If she starts folding your laundry and gets to the tenth towel then she feels like she owns the place and you send her ass packing. Thus, the ten towel rule.
Spend a month with a girl. Once she starts folding laundry you must implement the ten towel rule. Once she folds the tenth towel that's when you find a new ho.

Get the Ten Towel Rulemug. The rule amongst honorable men of certain western cultures (New England Boarding Schools) which states that a human and his or her partner must go out on exactly three dates before being formally considered a couple. If the possible couple-to-be has gone out on three dates, still unsure of if they wish to be formally considered a couple or not, the 3rd Date Rule dictates that the pair must make their decision then. Finally, the 3rd date rule states that an honorable person does not ask the same partner on three dates in a row without intention to belong to them and them alone or can otherwise be considered to be “leading them on.”
Guy 1; Hey man, I don't know when to ask this girl when to like, be my gilfriend so we are officialy going out. What is the custom as to when I should do that?
Guy 2; ...3rd Date Rule!

Get the 3rd Date Rulemug. Time you should wait before interjecting your opinion when walking up on two (or more) people in a conversation.
John and Fred were talking about Gun control, and Mike walked up and said that "Obama is going to take your guns away", but if he had waited 5 minutes he would have known they weren't talking about gun control at all, but how to shoot a gun. John says, "5 minute rule" and then everyone understand, he shouldn't have gotten into this conversation at this point. (And looked like an idiot).
