OMG, so much this, squared. I had a horrifying experience with a soft-boiled egg in 2nd grade, and ever since my eggs must be RUBBERY. No liquid eggs allowed.

If I'm eating in someplace like a diner, and someone else orders runny eggs and does something horrifying-to-me like let the yolk run all over their plate and sop it up with their pancake? I'm so grossed out I have to excuse myself from the table.

Gaaaccckkk, I'm icked out just thinking about it.

That said, perhaps I should have added a should-be-written rule.

Chew with your mouth SO BLEEPING CLOSED. Once your food -- or gum -- enters your mouth, the rest of us should never see or hear from it again.

I sit next to a loud gum-chomper at my job; I'm actually moving offices to get away from him.

I also have dumped perfectly nice men for chewing too loud.

Have to disagree, I think rubbery eggs are nasty. Eggwhites should always be cooked though.

Never bend the spines of books backwards, especially when you're borrowing them from someone else.

Never assume you know the whole story when it's not about you.

Riding a bike in the dark? Use lights!!!

Don't suddenly stop walking when you're in the middle of a busy sidewalk

Don't double dip your chip
