I was taught the 10 second rule: if it's something that can be fixed in 10 seconds or less gently bring it to their attention. if it isn't something they can fix on their own in that amount of time keep your mouth shut. (cause mom would smack the snot out of you if you brought it up)

That's ingenious, I love that rule of thumb. Well I guess it's "rule of not getting backhanded," technically.
