I was always taught that you tip people that have provided you with personal service, but have not charged you a seperate labor fee.

For example:
We are supposed to tip a waiter, hair stylist, cab driver, hotel porter, and these type of people that provide a service without charging a seperate labor charge.

We are NOT supposed to tip the auto mechanic, the handyman, the appliance repair person, the shoe repairer.

I recently watched a movie with Anthony Hopkins and he is riding in a cab that drives him to the motel. The cab driver was rude throughout the ride.
When it came to paying for the fare, Anthony though the fare was a bit steep, but that is what was on the meter, so thats what he paid.
The cab driver became angry and demanded that he pay at least 10% percent more as a tip. A tip is expected the cab driver says.

Why is it wrong to not leave a tip at all if you have bad service?
I realize that some people never tip and I think that is wrong.

I know that it will take the element of surprise out of the conversation, but it's better than nothing.

I ask because I work in a hotel and know that the chambermaids are the people who work the hardest . But do you realise that in lots of cases, they never get any tips left in rooms because after the porter gets the guests cases, receives their tip, then goes back into the room, to take the chambermaids tip as well. I know I can't generalise about porters, but it happens in our hotel all the time. Just thought I'd tell you, because I think it's out of order.

A lady I work with has had a very bad week. One bad thing after another has happened to her this week. It's kinda funny but she takes things really hard and beats herself up for it. Another lady I work with is taking full advantage of this and has made up a fake employee handbook for all to see. It's warning all of us the hazards of working near her. She is trying to be funny but I know the other women will not think so. The woman is depressed and is on meds for stress. How tacky is this woman being?!

Our phone number is ex-directory and yet we still get hassled daily by salesmen/women ringing up trying to sell us things. It seems that being polite to them just doesn't work as they wont take no for an answer. I am fed up of just hanging up on them, and now just feel like telling them where to go. Any ideas for something to say to them to make them actually get the message??

I clip my toenails while taking a crap, or talk on phone.

I have had an ongoing debate on the "eating hand" and who uses which one. What hand do you eat with and why?

I really can't stand when someone blows their nose in public - especially in a restaurant while people are eating.

I also find it incredibly rude that people don't wait for others to exit before they themselves enter a doorway.

And lastly, a part of me always wants to say - "you're welcome!" to people who never say thank you when you hold a door open for them or do what is common courtesy.

..But then, that would be rude of me, wouldn't it?

I caught my roommate several times while unknowingly watching me while am havin a shower though I'm hesitant to warn or caution him because I might be wrong on my thought that this person is GAY. Is it right to drive him out? Is he safe to share a room with? What's the best approach to tell him that I want to occupy another room?

I live in the poorer section of a very affluent area. When I meet fellow city dwellers they always ask "WHERE do you live?". I don't think its any of their business. Its similar to someone asking me how much I make. What's a witty comeback that will show them how petty they are?

These people think they got more than they really have. Most of them are house poor. It strikes me as a real nouveau riche attitude and I wouldn't like it any better if I lived in the most expensive house in the city.
