Whoever touches something first and cares the most gets to decide what to do with it.

"Can I work on this project?" or "It'd be great if someone fixed this bug."
"Yes, by Midas Rule, feel free to work on that."

(Taken from the 1995 Robin Williams film "Jumanji", based off a 1981 short story by Chris Van Allsburg.)
Originates from a scene in the movie where Robin Williams' character rolls a pair of dice, one of which falls off of the board. Even though the die is not on the board, it still lands flat and counts as a legitimate roll, ending the game. As long as the dice was not acted on by an outside force (other than the original roll) and it is clear which side is facing up, the roll counts. Often put into effect when playing on a small table, where the dice is likely to roll off.

An expression that was used in How I Met Your Mother.
It's a warning that is trying to avoid dating with people you have to work with, be in the classroom or people employed in your favorite pub, gym, club... Or a friendship with your new neighbours.
Platinum rule has 8 steps.
Step 1: Attraction - it's so easy to surrender.
Step 2: Bargaining - the time when you try to persuade your friends that platinum rule doesn't apply on you.
Step 3: Submission - everyhing seems alright.
Step 4: Perks - like: we can be together all the time - but that's crazy...
Step 5: The Tipping Point - now you realize that maybe it was a big mistake.
Step 6: Purgatory - now you know for sure that it was a big mistake.
Step 7: Confrontation - time to end the relationship or friendship. Normally starting with words: Well, I really like you but ...
Step 8: Fallout - because it's a person that you have to work with you must face the consequences connected to what happend between you.
Maybe there is also Step 9: Rescue - everything should be ok since this point.
