#9 The "Overposting" Rule

Facebookers . . .

Communication is a great thing. Keeping in touch with one another should be something to look forward to. But somewhere along the line, something went terribly wrong. Somewhere along the line, you started posting status updates about your babies puking and posting pictures of your cats. I'm all for hearing what's going on in your life, but the "News Feed" starts to lose its meaning when "..Had an awesome burger for lunch today" qualifies as news.

Feel free to post things, but try to think at LEAST once, preferably even twice before you throw something up on your page. Keep to a maximum of two posts per day, unless your life really IS that exciting (it's not). Stick to this rule, and you may even keep more friends. A study done by Christopher Sibona of the Colorado Denver Business School cited "posting too much, too often" as the number one reason people get unfriended on facebook.

#27 The Dentures Rule

Old People . . .

Sorry about your teeth falling out. But I still have mine, and I enjoy using them for things . . . like eating, for instance. When you pull your dentures out in front of me, it makes me not want to eat anymore. This makes me sad, because I enjoy eating. So when you're in public, keep your "teeth" in your mouth. I know this may sound harsh, but someday an annoying blogger will tell me to do the same thing. Of course, by then, you'll be dead. Soooo . . . you won't exactly see me get my just desserts; but when I do, I'll eat them with my dentures in.


#4 The Urinal Rule

Men . . .

When entering a public restroom, you will inevitably find yourself in a situation where a man is already relieving himself at one of the urinals. In this case, you must choose the urinal that is furthest away from him.

If there are two or more men urinating, you must find the midpoint between these urinals and relieve yourself in the toilet that is furthest from both men. You may only urinate in the stall directly next to another man if all urinals are taken; and the seldom seen, but often feared "line for the men's room" is occurring. In this situation, it is also acceptable to hold it until your bladder explodes, or pee on the wall of the establishment that forced you to wait in line for a urinal.
