Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Scissor paper stoneMy brother and I decide everything with scissor paper stone; it prevents arguments and fights as the loser is honour bound to graciously fulfil the obligation as if not doing so had never been even a consideration. We once decided ownership of a house with this method. It avoids arguments.
The only problem is that we think so alike that each game becomes an lengthy test of bluff and second guess; our current record is thirteen consecutive draws, which only ended when we agreed to go halves.
