Today I ate at a D.C. restaurant with 4 others. After our meal, we requested for the check to be split 5 ways (we assumed they would do this). When we got our receipts we all had a gratuity charge of 18%!!! The waitress was incredibly rude and we only wanted to tip 10%. We inquired with management and they said the gratuity was at the servers request!

Is this legal? It seemed extremely unfair and this has never happened before to me; I eat out in groups all the time.

It just snowed 9 inches at my house, and there was a white smooth clean slate behind my house, in the country. Last night i looked out my bathroom window, and there was very large foot prints that came from behind my garage, and came right up to my bathroom window. And i had taken a shower in there, and the blind broke on my window a few weeks ago. I think they were watching me take a shower! How do i catch them? And what do i do if they come back again tonight? (my dad and my brother are both gone and won't be back for a few more days, so.. it's just me and my mom)

has it ended up costing more? In other words do you think that the government contracts are really saving or costing us?

I was given 5 years probation and it was ended after 3 years for good behaviour. I remember the judge said I could have a writ of disability, or something like that. When I went off probation I was so happy (and drug free) I never followed through on it. Can anyone tell me what it was and can I still follow up on it 25 years later.

regarding the British withdrawal of troops as being "a sign of Britain feeling a sense of success in Iraq" rather baffeling when his own administration is insisting that the only chance for success is increasing our troops by 20,000?

I know this is a rather dated question but I'm curious as to what other peoples take on this is.

Thanx in advance for your answers.

Though I will not divulge names since the case is still being investigated I'm sure you can figure it out. Is this right though? I work for company A and used a mobile from company B since company A does not have service where I live. They said that as long as I didn't bring the phone on premises then that would be fine... I brought it on campus many times because I believe I have the right to. If you sell cars or clothes for company A but where or use company B products how many times have you been terminated for this? No, it had nothing to do with anything else but the phone. I was asked and reprimanded about 10x for this. If it was anything else after 2x I would have gotten the boot. I was a top saleswomen for the last 8 years. They have even said if I drop charges and don't bring in the phone they will give me my job back. Should I fight this. I am not asking for any money except those to cover court and legal costs.

Does anyone have any advice for going from military (Navy) life into civilian life. I know my husband has classes he can attend, and he plans to, but I need to know what I can do, what bills I can expect to pay and how much (living in basehousing). Also anyone from Albuqurque,NM let me know what the cost of living is like. Any help that you can offer is great!

i work in a prison in florida, it seems so many blacks are converting to islam. then they rant and rave all day long about how they are political and religous prisoners held captive by the "evil" empire of america.

it seems to me they are just coming up with a justification of why they are in prison besides the fact they are criminals.

god could have stopped every crime ever commited with very little effort. doesn't he have a legall obligation to do so? i think the only reason he isnt in jail is that he is famous. we should have him arrested soon.

Alright, lets forget for a minute that there are no Impeachable Offenses to actually do this, but if you could Impeach the President would you?

Think hard about this before you answer. Remember if you Impeach the President Dick Cheney is waiting in the wings. He would then be able to nominate whoever he would like to for VP.
And please don't be intellectually lazy and say something like"I would Impeach them both." I do not believe there is enough votes in Congress to go after either and to take on both would seem like a coup.
