Rules that aren't written down.

[Mr.Sam]

Ok I was listening to Radio One today and they brought up the subject of rules which are written down, The rules (nearly) everyone follows even though they aren't actually rules I'll give an example below.
Submit your own to the thread :)

* When in the Gents toilets, you always leave a urinal between you and the next guy.

[Spectate]

Great idea for a thread! Had a hard job thinking of one though.

Kicking the ball out in football when a player on the opposing team is down injured.

There must be better ones. :P

[Recursion]

tbh i don't care if I use a urinal next to some guy, usually the bogs are full so I have to.

Not hitting girls.

[--ss--]

If someone asks something like "Do I like fat in this" you reply back with a nice comment even if it's a lie :eusa_whis

There's got to be so many to do with the gents toilet. For example:

DON'T look around when using the urinal.
DON'T talk to anyone, ever.

"oh ive entered my pin incorrectly" then they press cancel instead of clear.

"oh i've forgotten my number" and then they check in their purse where it's written down and stored with their cards.

"can I sign for it?"

You have to admit though, cancel and clear are pretty much the same thing. You can cancel your last use of your pin or clear it, means roughly the same thing :P

Argh, I used to havea few ideas for this sort of thing!

I don't believe there is a law for not riding bicycles on a path. Loads of bike websites claim it's against the rules, yet no official government site has actually said it.

[Catzsy]

Never ask a girl how much she weighs.

Never ask a lady her age.

[Roboevil]

Oh my friend was doing something like this in psychology. One of the main ones was that people avoid the grass, even if there isn't a sign telling you to.

yeah, but if u look, if u only press cancel, u'll still see '***' which means other numbers havent been cleared

*cough*


umm, telling a fat person to lose weight
yeaaaaah, all i could think of

If it's been on the ground for 3 seconds you can't eat it.
The 3 second rule!

Although MythBusters proved 3 seconds is enough for it to be swarmed with germs.

[superfly-dan]

Don't mix fragrances together, for example don't use Lynx Vice Shower Gel then spray Lynx Africa bodyspray :rolleyes:

That was crap :P

Its sorta a unwritten rule that you can do it while no one is on the path, or if there isnt a bike path. and if there is someone on the path you must over to the grass or road.

It is funny when people ask if they can sign for it, i really want to reply NO THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THIS MACHINE.

[benjamin]

well where's the originality in that?
it's all about originality these days, get with it.

I get this from customers all the time, they claim there house is 2000 square feet and the house is leagally only 1500 square feet, so i have to put in the leagal square footage in the listing. Then they see it, call and proceed to tell me that I am wrong and I tell them them why and they claim they got permits when they didnt.. I was never wrong yet!

Stick your hand out for the bus even though it's going to stop cause you are standing at a bus stop o.0

Yeah but people stand at the edge and they don't want that bus, so they don't put there hand out.

[jesus]

Stick your hand out for the bus even though it's going to stop cause you are standing at a bus stop o.0doesn't always work if more than one bus comes to that stop, i speak from experience :(

That happened to me, I had to run to where the first bus ended in time to stop the other one.

Um. I can't think of any other unwritten rules.

If you sleep with your best friend's gf, don't tell anyone.

work in a retail environment for a while and you'll see for yourself, that Metric's statement is correct.

Most customers are always wrong in the complaints field and general information. They're thick as thieves :D

I can never go to toilet when theres some one else in the room.. well not since this man was trying to look in the mirror to see if he could see me :l

[samsaBEAR]

i do that, because i can never find lynx recover deodrant, just the shower gel.

to above, same, i cant go to the toilet if someone else is there either. its well embarrasing when you go in thinking no one is there, and its like full up.

[Nixt]

If you fart in public, do it discretely and blame it on someone else.
