Ohhh, IceGlow, you're so right. I hate people who don't tip. People who don't tip are the least classy people on the earth. Even if the food was bad (not the waiter's fault) or took a while to get to you (also not the waiter/waitress' fault), unless the waiter literally SPIT into the food or rubbed your salad on their butt, you tip.
Ohh, I'm so sorry that I just can't handle not being able to get the most out of my money, which I work for, for something that I enjoy eating, and don't have the skills or technology to otherwise obtain that ice cream stuck to the bowl without doing something incredibly stupid or money wasting. God forbid that I eat straight out of the carton.Originally Posted by Noctiluca

There are no cartons, you're putting it into a bowl. Okay, when you eat ice cream, you can get almost all of it with the spoon. Seriously, with a spoon, you can reduce it to drops of nearly nothing. But you still feel the need, because you spent money on it, to put your tongue into a bowl and lick all around, getting your face and your nose all up in that business, and clean it like a dish washer. That would be hilarious to watch an adult do.
Edit: And if you did that, I would laugh in the heart of "with you", not at you. Nothing I'm saying here is to be taken in a serious manner. I'm just spitting out stuff that isn't really all that miserable. And Tavrobel, I... I would still move to Vermont and marry you.

How did you buy the ice cream and bring it home? You're talking to a man who can clean off his plate of pasta sauce with a fork. Mail me a camera or a video recorder, and I'll show you footage of a man who routinely consumes his ice cream through licks, just as nature (according to mass-commercialization) intended.
I have a group of people that make me roll my eyes. Nihilists. Also, Fundamentalists, but for very different reasons.
Well obvi it comes in a carton and then you put it in a bowl when you get home XD I don't think most people do that anymore, at least not for themselves, but I have seen it on rare occasion. I see it in the dark of the night, when the gas station workers come home.
Perhaps your ice cream licks will give you... techniques.
My licks deal Magic damage and ignore the resistances of Undead and Demons. I always start from the left and move on from there.
I lick my ice cream bowls. Sometimes I'm just not ready to end the ice cream experience.
Heck, sometimes I do it with non-ice cream foods. Complete with wiping my finger around the bowl and licking my finger. No, I wasn't born in the barn, I just grew up there

I think some of these are being taken a little too serious, when the thread is really just about life's shortcomings and things that you shake your head at, not like the things you think are wrong with the world or anything.
Like when your food touches the other food on your plate, or the thought of Mother Teresa in a bathing suit.
Just felt like that needed to be said.:kaoyatta:

On this topic, I also hate how you're not allowed to freaking say that to the dumbass customer. Hopefully you put on your best customer service smile and said something along those lines, though.
Also people who because it is not customary in their country do not tip waiting staff at restaurants when Service is NOT included. Ok so it might be in Italy or where ever you came from but see the line clearly stating you don't pay for service here, tipping is still expected and not just the 3pence change from the 87.97 bill you just sat there and ate whilst constantly taking the waiter's time when they could have been serving people who actually will leave tips. That doesn't make me nearly half as pissed as people who are clearly natives or have lived here long enough to know better who don't tip the waiters. I insist on leaving tips and if I'm with my friends and they don't tip the waiting staff with me I give them a whole load of verbal abuse about how I hope one day they end up working somewhere like that and know how it feels to work hard for minimum pay and then not even to see a tip when you're done.I want to punch you both in the face. Not the collective face. Your individual faces. You shouldn't have to leave a tip, ever. I get paid to sort out clothes, measure people, hunt down clothes for them, and clean the shop. Do I get pissy because I don't get a tip? No. Because I'm doing the job that I'm being paid to do. It's pathetic that people feel they must always give a 10% minimum at every place they go to.
Having said that, I still do tip. I stick with the 10%, unless the service was particularly fantastic or truly horrendous. Also, if I know that I'll be going someplace often enough, I usually leave a bigger tip when I'm first there. He he he. A relative-of-mine's husband once tipped 20% because the waitress was a student, and he knows they get peanuts. I imagine I'd do this when I'm a little older. And I'll admit, I think it's a bit cheap when people don't tip. But that doesn't mean I think they're horrible people just because they don't throw in an extra 10%. Don't be so pathetic.
The difference is that you're being paid to sort out clothes without the prospect of a tip in mind. Most waiters/waitresses are being paid $2-3 odd dollars an hour because they're expected to make most of their income in tips.
Also, 10% is low. I try not to go below 15 for lunch and around 20 for dinner.

That doesn't change the fact that there shouldn't be all this stigma attached to not tipping. Like I said, I dislike the prospect of not tipping myself, but it's your money and if you don't tip that's fine. A bit rude, but fine.
And 10% is generally agreed to be standard. Or, at least, it is with everyone I know and have ever met. Saying it's low makes you sound like you're judging people just because you decide to leave more, which I don't appreciate.
When I first went to North America, I was suprised to see people tipping at fast food places. We don't do that here. Restuarants and cafés or gtfo. That was, honest to God, one of the biggest culture shocks of my time there. xD
There's a stigma attached because you <i>should</i> tip. It's how the wait staff earn their income, and unless they're a real douche to you or just a complete failure, then it is rude and extremely douchey of you not to tip. I do not see how it's fine.
I believe the general standard is what I mentioned - 15% for lunch and 20% for dinner. At least, everywhere I've grown up in. And yes, I do judge people that leave well below standard tips; being too cheap to tip at least a standard amount when your service was fine is just not attractive. A few extra dollars is not going to hurt your wallet that much, it'll make your waiter's day that much better, plus it's just common courtesy. If you really can't afford to tip your waiter, then you shouldn't be eating at that restaurant in the first place.
It's a pet peeve of mine, too.
I don't tip at fast food. xD I tip less than standard if I don't get full service, i.e. at a buffet where the waiter just clears away my plates, but I still tip there too.
SUCH MISERY
When someone uses a word you don't know the definition of, so you try your best to figure it out through context and go with it.
Requiring somebody else to open a pickle jar.
When the dentist asks you personal questions while in your mouth and you can't even speak.
Books that are only for decoration.
Excessive PDA
