In regards to friendship, the cardinal rule is never dating your friend's ex-boyfriend. When a close friend and their hunny break up, being a friend means you dont try to date, mack, get with, or hook up with the ex. Breaking this rule defiles friendship and ruins bonds and all friendly love with the rule breaker in the circle of friends.
After Max broke up with Sid, Alexis, a 'friend' of Sid, broke the cardinal rule and started dating Max less than a week after the break up. Sid and Alexis' friendship was ruined and Sid soon learned that no one gave two squirts of piss about her emotions, regardless or what was said.

Also known as the Cardinal Rule of Food; mentioned in the 2005 comedy โWaiting.โ The Cardinal Rule is: never fuck with the person who is handling your food. Technically itโs illegal in reality because it is food tampering, however, sometimes people who work food service wish to get revenge like this on nasty Karenโs.
(A typical dinner rush at Applebeeโs)
Garrett (handing food back to the kitchen staff): โWe got our first Karen of the night. She ordered her steak as well-done and apparently itโs medium-well. She just broke the Cardinal Rule.โ
Jeff: โSheโs definitely going to get a secret ingredient along with other extra care done to her food since sheโs a complete bitch!โ (Reaches into his pants and yanks out a pubic hair to hide in the broccoli, then spits into the mashed potatoes, and finishes off with shaking dandruff onto the steak)
(Garrett takes the plate back while trying not to laugh)
