This thread is for the tried-and-true rules for life that you have borne out in your own life.

Since this is my thread, I make the rules so here they are:

1) NO LISTS. Only put down one thing at a time. Spam the thread with a hundred posts if you want, but if you make a single post with a hundred things itemized.. listen, nothing will happen but just don’t do it. Nobody likes reading that much

3) Also, don’t be that guy who comes in just to tell other people what they should do. “I have a rule for life. Learn how to parallel park ya *kitten*” is not what we’re looking for here. Share things that you apply to your own life and that you have found to be helpful. Rules you choose to live by because they stave off chaos or help you thrive. There are plenty of other threads where you can share your gripes at the general public but you can’t do it here. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

b) No lists. Only one per post

3) i repeat

Ok you get it

    If a restaurant has "Burger" in the name, stick to their *kitten* burgers OK?

    There's always that one dingbat in your party who tries to out-foodie everyone and orders the clam chowder at a *kitten* International House of Pancakes. It's usually on the last page of the menu way down on the bottom corner too. Everyone hands in their menu really confused like WTF? They serve clam chowder bowls here? And dingbat has this stupid smirk on their face like "Aha! Didn't see that on the menu, did ya guys! 😀"

    20 min later you're sharing your pancakes with the goofus.

    Don’t sit down until you’ve done the thing because if you get comfortable nothing will get done.

    And there should be one in every pocket of every jacket as well as one in every purse.

    My life rule: no chapstick in pockets ever cuz you know your *kitten* is gonna wash that *kitten* and ruin your clothes
