Five Minute Rule

The "rule" prominant in high school that allegedly states that if a teacher is not present in the classroom five minutes after the final bell has rung to indicate class has begun, the class may leave.

Although this rule has been tested, no conclusive evidence has been gathered to rule on whether this rule is real or not.
After sitting in the dark classroom for five minutes without a teacher, the majority of the class decided to follow the Five Minute Rule, so they got up and went to the cafeteria.

10 minute rule

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 1: It's been 8 minutes and Mr Greenwood isn't here yet.

Student 2: 10 minute rule?

Student 1: Good idea. If he's not here in the next 2 minutes, I'm off.

McGuns Rule

When it absolutely positively needs to be shotgunned, you call...the Mcgun's Rule, developed during the manhatten project, it was a direct answer from the germans counter to the shotgun, the blitzkreig. The Americans knowing that their only hope to win the spirits of America back, developed the ultimate "shotgun" which cannot be overturned. The Mcguns Rule is only to be used sparingly and for dire need circumstances, when you must have something. It is the older brother of the Atom Bomb, developed 1 month before it because America knew what it would take to win the war, and much like the Atom Bomb it destroys everything in it's path. To this day, many still consider it to be similar in power to Ryus Hyduken, Raidens spear, or the BFG 9000. Basically it fucks shit up in a way that the people of Hiroshima are thankful they ONLY got the bomb and not the rule that shits on their laughable sho gun rule.

After the geneva convention, many humanitariums stressed to have it revised and include banning the Mcguns Rule, Uncle Sam politely said Fuck You.
