Simply put, this rule states that a person must listen to a conversation for 3 minutes before asking any questions. This allows the originators of the conversation to continue normally without having to reiterate points already covered and keeps the listener from looking like an idiot. It is invoked by the originators of a conversation should a third party ask a question which makes it clear that they haven't been listening.
Phil: So it turns out that tree in my backyard has a disease. We're gonna have to cut it down.
Jake: Oh yeah? That can get expensive.
Phil: Yeah, but I know a guy who knows a guy. College roommates. Now that I think about it, you've never met him. We should all get together and go bowling.
Jake: I love bowling. That reminds me-
Gary: Hey guys, what's up? Phil, did you ever find out about that tree?
Phil: 3 minute rule, Gary.

The common courtesy of waiting roughly 5 minutes for a friend to respond after commenting on or "liking" a status on Facebook. If the friend doesn't respond within this grace period, one can assume they're offline or simply disinterested in your post.
Mom: "Katrina, it's 3:30am! Get off the damn computer and get some sleep."
Katrina: "Give me a second, I'm waiting for Jessica to write on my wall. I "liked" her status 4 minutes ago. I gotta wait for the 5-minute Rule."
Mom: "You don't have any friends...so stop pretending! And switch the damn laundry before you go to bed."

1) When in the company of the same sex, having your socks off is considered homosexual.
2) Socks should be on at all times when in the company of the same sex to be considered heterosexual. No exceptions.
Person 1: Bro have you heard about the gay sock rules?
Person 2: Yeah man, I always wear socks when im around the guys. I’m not gay.

The time that a party really "begins", no matter what scheduled time the party was actually supposed to start previous. This is the time that, without fail, droves of people show up all at once and a party can go from almost non-existent to full-fledged rager.
"Man, this party was so lame for like the past 3 hours, now it's insane! (Looking down at watch, seeing it's around 11 PM) 11 O'Clock Rule, happens every time!"
