Screw This Index, I Have Tropes!

Any trope about actively deciding "screw this" for whatever reason. Most likely, because you have something that can be used to get past the "this" in question. Which tends to be the rules. Most of these are or were based on LittleKuriboh's legendary Screw the rules, I have money! in the first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged series.

For tropes about the other kind of 'screwing', see Sex Tropes.
