The X+1 Rule

X is you, and Y is the person you are referring to. Y will always be one more than you are, no matter what, and is always better, sadly for you.
"I hate Joe so much. He always hits me with the X+1 Rule on the field.... He just always HAS to do it better than me."

Three or More Affectations Rule

This rule states that if someone has three or more affectations from the neck up (i.e. garish scarves, ostentatious earrings, extravagant nose rings, designer glasses, gaudy facial hair, etc.) is probably an attention-starved prick. It is strongly advised that attention-starved pricks guilty of violating this policy cease and desist at once.
Guy 1: Look at that guy and his ridiculous mustache, glasses, and scarf.

Guy 2: Yeah, he is definitely breaking the Three or More Affectations Rule.

The Dickinson Rule

When you're playing Beer Pong and the ball goes past the opposition and underneath a shit load of furniture, everyone starts counting down from 5 and if the ball is not found, you either drink 3 swigs or sell items of the furniture.
The balls gone underneath the furniture! The Dickinson rule! Sell everything!

Or...you've been Dickinsoned

The 50 Percent Rule

The 50 Percent Rule was first invented in spring 2016 by Swiss citizen K.E.

As opposed to state laws with a limited scope, it is described a universal moral in modern human behaviour.

It regulates the number of seats taken by a single guest in a restaurant, bar, café, eatery or diner.

You and your company may claim all the seats of a specific seating area (i.e. table or sofa space) if you make up for at least 50% of the total number of seats without the need to grant fellow guests access to the remaining seats.
A: "Hey man, can I take that seat?"

B: "No, sorry!"
A: "Why, is there anyone joining you? Or do you just need 4 seats for yourself?"
B: "There's nobody joining me. And now let me do my work!"
A: "Well, sir! Haven't you heard of the 50 Percent Rule!?"

the netflix rule

If you want to watch any specific movie at a given moment, whatever it is, it will not be available on Netflix.
I wanted to watch insert movie you want to watch right now so I checked it up on Netflix...it wasn’t there so I rented it on Amazon instead. (sigh) the netflix rule strikes again.

The Kate Rule

The Kate Rule states that when a male is acting like an asshole he shall be called by a female name, which is chosen by the person who calls upon the rule, and can be supported by other individuals.
A person shall be called by his name again when the amount of people supporting him is more than the amount supporting the accuser.
I hereby call upon the Kate Rule to condemn Gary, he shall be called Lisa from this moment on, do I have the people's support?
