the other day I gave a cocktail waitress a 60% tip because she was hot as hell and serving me liquor :laughing:

but I need to be better at tipping in general.:shycouch:

It's all good! It's just that whenever someone says something along the lines of "Why should I thank/tip someone for doing their job?", I immediately think of that scene from Reservoir Dogs. :yeah:

RE: thanking the bus driver - I only recently started taking advantage of the amazing public transit where I am, and had never before considered it being a staple of public etiquette, but it automatically seemed second nature.

i suppose floridians are *******s. i will say thanks next time i guess. i honestly don't take public transit very often.

Manners are only a quality I really care about in a person I'm interested in. I don't mind if people are rude to me, or don't show appreciation, but it is something I'll remember. I say please and thank you, and "have a nice day" all the time. I enjoy being friendly and considerate towards others.

i honestly like it when strangers ignore me. i don't consider it rude at all, so long as their ignoring doesn't affect me in any way.

for example if i'm walking past someone and we don't acknowledge each other whatsoever. that's the way i'd prefer it.

but i dislike people who ignore me when they get in my way. especially in walmart. especially plus sized and/or elderly slow moving people in walmart.

Some bus drivers can be more crabby than you are on a bad day. The secret is to say "hello" when you step on the bus. If the bus driver is nice, he or she will respond in like fashion. They are the bus drivers to thank. If they act snooty or crabby then exit by the side doors to avoid the situation of saying "thank you" all together. \

edit: You can also improv, you don't always have to say "thank you" - "be safe, take care, good evening" are good alternatives.

same, but it pisses me off when someone fucking bodychecks me and doesn't even say "oops" or "excuse me"

like good for you, you fucking cow, you moved your ass from point A to point B in the most livestock-esque fashion possible

This also^ Unless I'm at work where I am expected to greet strangers I don't talk to people I don't know, and I'd rather they never talk to me.

:laughing: I only get pissed when my customers don't make conversation with me if I have to reach in front of them or cross their path in a way that inconveniences them.

even if I could bitchslap them to goddamn Neptune, I'd still want to hit them with a shovel.
