This dicky troll does shell out cash for tips (I dropped 15% on top of my lunch bill today - as is my customary practice) but, yes, I nonetheless have stong opinions and feel the need to put them out there. Everyone acquiesces with the system but that doesn't mean it's not broken.

Thank you. Sounds like it's time that U.S. laws were changed regarding service industry wages. Allowing pay below minimum wage is archaic and ridiculous. It's setting people up at the mercy of others. I just don't agree with it.

I figured at least one other person would chime in here with a CrossFit recommendation. In my younger days, I was a slim and active person. Then came about a decade of life as a couch potato. Last summer, I started CrossFitting twice weekly. It was hard but I was surrounded by encouraging people at the gym and, in…

Exactly what I do. If and when the time comes to give away or sell an item, people are usually super impressed to see the manual come with it.

I don't have the power to promote or star but at least I can heart y'all. Gawker sites - come for the articles, stay for the comments!

Skinny jeans are the staple of a hipster's wardrobe. They're a variation on the currently popular tights look. And both of these are merely cribbing from the 1980s.

I went from an active lifestyle to about ten years of couch potato lethargy. Then a friend started up a CrossFit gym and many other friends jumped on board. I couldn't beat them, so I had to join them. I took it up in July and go about twice weekly. For me, the results have been slow but steady. The experience…

Seems like we could beat this horse back and forth for a while. I don't understand why all these special circumstances and expectations are built into the food service industry. Level the playing field to match most other employment scenarios. Instead of expecting customers to fill the 15-20% gap in wages, I think…

I'm not trying to be a dick or a troll but I have strong opinions about tipping that seem to go against the grain according to the comments here. Why is in the onus on me to fatten your wallet (with a tip)? It's your job and you were quite aware of your duties and the wage when you signed on. I guess this sounds…

Thank you @spcagigas. Maybe I'm missing something but here in Canada, wages are at least minimum wage to begin with. We don't tip to bring people up to minimum wage - that's some kind of weird charity/handout system. I'm with @emannths. Unless I've come in, sat down, and received table service - then I'm not…

Yep. Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors mean you will be judged.

My take on this is that prose appears in the cover letter so bullets should be used in the resume to provide concise achievements at a glance.

I'd recommend keeping an eye on Groupon offers. My gym has done this several times. Although "current members" cannot partake, I've had friends try it out and the savings are great.

I, too, am a knife-in-fork completist.

Sorry but I disagree with take-out tipping. It went straight from the kitchen to me.

The soap dish is a good hack but thought I'd mention one of these: [www.driinn.com] I have one and quite like it, especially the portability.

A few years ago, I switched to something like this [panthangers.net] and hang my pants from these - no need for folding.

I'm a fan of SharePod, which I first learned about on Lifehacker.

Skins are certainly the way to go. As a satisfied customer, I'll at this to the list: [www.gelaskins.com]
