*Feel free to do anything that doesn't cause a problem for anyone else
*If you cause a problem, I will ask you to solve it
*If you can't solve the problem, or choose not to, I will do something
*What I do, will depend on the special person, and the special situation
*If you feel something is unfair, whisper to me, "I'm not sure that's fair," and we will talk
