“When I was a kid, we had the “Bernie” rule. Whoever had the worst manners at dinner was “Bernie” (short for St. Bernard like the big messy dog) and had to do the dishes.
One time my brother farted at the table and my dad proclaimed, “You are Bernie. Nobody can take that from you tonight.” So I decided to test that proclamation. I proceeded to put my feet on the table, and that night I learned that there could actually be two Bernies and we both had to clean the kitchen.”

“This is at my mom’s place. If you are wearing long sleeve shirts you are exempt from doing the dishes.”
Stupid rule. Enables the lazy to always shirk. Roll up your sleeves.

#11 I have given up on that. My inlaws have no control over their devices as it seems and the volume setup is always the absolute maximum possible. I wonder if there's a connection to their nationality.
