Unfortunately the way things work is that waiters are often paid less than minimum, around $2 an hour, and are expected to cover the rest in tips

How strange. Most Americans try to act Canadian when they visit Europe, not the other way around.

Well often times it isn't just the waiter you are tipping. Servers usually tip out to bussers, cooks, and hosts. So if you order more food, it's more work for everyone on the whole.

I leave photos of myself on the pillow, making sure to put on some lipstick and kiss it before I leave it. I find the kiss-stain contrasts with the picture of a man quite nicely, ensuring both confusing and disgust.

I try to leave a tip no matter the situation, because I'm in the food industry and can relate to someone who's just having an off day. However, for others I can imagine that confrontation is to be avoided. I have, on the other hand, dealt with people who are way too comfortable bringing up things they don't like about…

A small thing around the holidays would be a nice surprise for him; it certainly wouldn't hurt anything. However, I might be cautious about making it a habit, because then both parties suddenly have obligations. You feel the need to give money every time he drops something off, and then feel bad when you don't; the…

I feel like giving the street kids some spare change would be the equivalent of giving a flock of birds at a beach food: they'll just draw in more because they know you have something and are willing to give it out. Although since you've been there could you confirm that they would actually just leave you alone after?

I miss you, Motorola SLVR. You were the best phone I've ever had. RIP

This is all I'm reading:

I'll stick with my switchblade comb, thankyouverymuch

Eh, that's not a bratwurst anyway so I think you're good to go

The lead picture makes me think that's what Tali looks like without her mask

Image upload fail. I was posting the "Crazy-Hot Scale" from How I Met Your Mother. The basic principal is that the hotter the girl, the crazier she must be

I'm not sure how to respond to all these people wanting me to come watch them play video games. Makes me feel creepy

Eh, it wasn't *that* bad. I've seen worse. Also, trailers aside, I'm so excited to be using the arm thing (forgot what it was called) as a dagger. Awwww yeeeeaaah

Alright fine. Two emotions: Boring, and rage. Short on cheesy one-liners, however

It's a shame that most of those women are probably bat-shit crazy.

I agree, red is lame. For every Star Wars game where I have the option, I always do dual lightsabers, one purple and the other orange. First thing I did in KOTOR was upgrade off-hand weapon abilities.
