Rule 55

British Railways Rule 55 is a rule which persisted in the 19th and 20th century. It says that if a locomotive stops on a mainline, it MUST let the signalman be aware of the presence of the train, to prevent serious accidents. This rule is known to be broken in the Thomas & Friends episode "Henry's Forest", which was criticized by Awdry himself for not following the rule.
Rev. W. Awdry: "Henry's driver didn't obey Rule 55, which means that the driver should've warned the signaller! That's unrealistic!"

Rule 72

If it exists, there's a Peepified version of it. If there isn't, there will be.

For those who don't know, peepification is the process of editing pictures and works of art (depicting people or any being with a definable face) to make them resemble the now deceased rapper Lil Peep.
Person 1: "Hey, check out this Mona Lisa painting I found!"
Person 2: "That looks really cool, but look at the peepified version I found of it"
Maria: "WOW! Rule 72 is really awesome!"
