The Gentleman’s Law

An unspoken law for men to abide by, they cannot go first through a door or do any action when there is a lady present. After the lady has gone, the gentleman follow.
Female 1: oh it’s ok go ahead
Male 1: oh no, ladies first.
Female 1: oh no I insist
Male 1: I cannot, it breaks the gentleman’s law.

Female 1: oh please,
Male 1: I cannot break the law, it makes all us gentlemen feel like crap.

Parkinson’s law

Despite common misconceptions, Parkinson’s law is in fact more akin to Poka Yoke whereby a relentless focus on increasing the efficiency of an organization through any means necessary benefits both employees and shareholders.
When a management consultant applied Parkinson’s law to make my call center more efficient by requiring us to badge in to use the bathroom, I was initially upset because I could no longer take a nap in the stall after lunch, but soon realized I got more done at work at slept better at night. Win win!

Ted’s Law

The law that, in generality and absent mitigating circumstances or context, “the fact that you have to say ‘they’re not that bad’ means that they are that bad.”

First published after extensive research into the sexually available women of Boston, MA in the 2012 Seth MacFarlane film Ted, spoken by the eponymous Ted, whom MacFarlane also voiced.
Ted:
Look, all I'm saying is that Boston women are, on the whole, a paler, uglier sort than women from the elsewheres of life.

John:
That's bullshit. What about Lori? She's hot.

Ted:
No, Lori's from Pennsylvania. That's not a Boston girl.

John:
They're not that bad.

Ted:
See, the fact that you have to say "they're not that bad" means that they are that bad.

Guy watching the movie: So that’s where Ted’s Law comes from!

Law of Jas

Jas (pronounced Juss. Was the name of ancient Hindu God from the time before Mahabharata who's mission on earth was to stop the people from gambling. In order to get the people to stop betting, Jas started to provide false answers on the outcomes. When the people of the villages came to realize what was happening, they started to refer to his advice as the Law of Jas. Anytime he provided any advice or answer, the villagers would do the opposite and called it the Law of Jas. Over time, people in the state of UP would routinely quote the Law of Jas when the opposite happened.
I bet on Rajiv's cow to give more milk than Vijay's cow by the following Law of Jas as he had said Vijay's cow would win.

I think the Law of Jas will air its ugly head during this cricket game I bet on.

veselekov's zeroth law

A scientific law explicitly stating that all members of the female race shall be unable to be sexually attracted to any man who has full autonomous control of their eyebrows. This does not hold true for any relationship that remains at a platonic level, such as friendships, or even jogging buddies. Predates his first law of gas, grass, or ass: no one rides for free
Player 1: Man, that dude's eyebrows are going everywhere! he's even doing the wave!

Player 2: He probably suffers from veselekov's zeroth law
