Here are the Basic Rules of Human Interaction that
AllisonMcCaffrey and
SeemaPatel came up with their freshman year.
- No means no.
- If someone is doing you a favor, be nice to them.
- What goes around comes around.
- The basic rules of human interaction are not necessarily logical -- that's why we have to define them for you.
- Engineering: In theory, it's practical.
- Get subtle hints. (Fuck subtlety - the 2 by 4 is fine. Love, Tracy)
- Get the not-so-subtle hints.
- Don't make us use weapons.
- Double standards are legit.
- If someone is sad or upset about something, do NOT tease them about it.
- There will be many times when you will be wrong, and there will be many times when someone else will be right, and there will be a surprising correlation between the two.
