The 10 minute rule, and in some cases the 5 or even 15 minute rule, is an unwritten rule in schools, colleges and universities.
The rule is used when you have a class/lecture, and the idea is that if the teacher/lecturer is not there in the classroom within the said time period (5, 10 or 15 minutes - depending on what has been decided) then you can assume that they aren't coming and you can therefore leave to do other stuff/go home. This could also possibly be used in the workplace for meetings. (change 'teacher' to 'boss')
N.B. This rule can also be used/changed to deliberately skip classes. E.g. if you know that a teacher will be 10 minutes last, you can switch to using the 5 minute rule and leave before they get there, thereby skipping the class.

Student 2: 10 minute rule?

Get the 10 minute rule mug.His Noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the ultimate truth in the universe. It is the central point of worship in the religion commonly known as Flying Spaghetti Monsterism or Pastafarianism, according to which it is The Creator and Overseer, watching our lives and our world, changing them as it sees fit, by use of his most holy noodly appendage.
Incredibly, this ancient religion was not well-known until its rediscovery in 2005 by graduate student Bobby Henderson. He shall live on forever in the afterlife next to the Beer Volcano. Due to this incredible rebirth, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is now one of the world's most edible and fastest-growing religions
