Granville Rule

Speak now or forever hold your peace. If you don't speak up, you don't get fed. Everything moves on pass you if you stay quiet. Used to make decisions faster and more efficiently.

Nancy always tells us which restaurants she wants to go to after the reservation's already booked and then complain about the food. Granville Rule next time we hang out so it's on her.

Rule of Roelofs

When an action does not take effect during a potential period of time, it is rolled off to the next more optimal window of opportunity. This is not a function of statistical probability, it is simply the way things are and cannot be explained by logic or mathematical analysis; it just happens that way.

That smarty pants tried to explain with a rationale of probability that day shift didn’t receive a call, and that this had zero impact on night shift getting call. You would think he had heard of the Rule of Roelofs. Apparently not.

Rule of Conversations

The Rule of Conversations is to only be the first to start a conversation with someone online or over text twice in a row lest you always be annoying them

"Have you talked to Lacy recently?"

"No I started conversations the past two times; if she really wants to put in effort in this friendship, she needs to start one now!"

"Ah, the Rule of Conversations, huh?"
