I've thought about the suicidal one before.
But since suicide is a sin it kind of means you don't count, maybe? I don't know for sure.

I don't think that the golden rule is meant to be a universal rule capable of dictating every person's behavior in every situation as it is a general guideline that you should use with discretion depending on the circumstances. A revision for special circumstances might be, "Treat others the way you imagine they'd like to be treated."

Sure, but it's still a good general rule, at least with strangers. By the time you know a person, you know when it applies and when not.
