WHISKY RULE OF THE DAY: The Whisky Rule is simple: If you cancel a meeting with less than 10 minutes notice, or if you miss it completely, then you owe your counterpart a bottle of whisky I’ve been using the whisky rule for a couple of years. I’m generally pretty punctual and keep a close eye on my calendar, but from time to time I’ll slip up and completely forget a meeting or get stuck doing something else that I can’t get out of. In those situations I’m more than happy to sling a bottle of whisky to my counterpart as an apology and a sort of olive branch, hoping they’ll forgive me and we can make it up the next time we meet. In NYC, a town where all my friends are flakes, this is finally some good news. Via: lifehacker

I’ve been using the whisky rule for a couple of years. I’m generally pretty punctual and keep a close eye on my calendar, but from time to time I’ll slip up and completely forget a meeting or get stuck doing something else that I can’t get out of. In those situations I’m more than happy to sling a bottle of whisky to my counterpart as an apology and a sort of olive branch, hoping they’ll forgive me and we can make it up the next time we meet.


In NYC, a town where all my friends are flakes, this is finally some good news.
