ExiledInIllinois Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Man I love bidets.....This is why I am what I yam, hairy caveman.. 735933[/snapback] The Cheech and Chong bit where they discover one and say something along the lines of... Look a water fountain next to the toilet... How cool is that... Cracks me up... Not sure of the line, but did a seach on google and dug this place up in your neck of the woods (North Conway)... Notice, the New York Penthouse has a bidet! Sounds like quite a place up there... That I thought was only known for its antique railway! N. Conway, NH
eball Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 My tipping pet peeve? So-called "Bathroom Attendants." Are you kidding me? You want a tip for watching me piss and handing me a towel? Biggest scam ever. I avoid those places like the plague. 735692[/snapback] When I go into a restroom with an attendant, I piss on the floor. At least then I know he's earning his money.

Conway, NH 735961[/snapback] Another great toilet story in N.H. ..this guy claims he was looking for a ring in a waste tank below a womans restroom, and a teenage girl noticed the mans face staring up at her, while she was getting ready to sit down on the toilet...Ya it was me hey I lost my wifes ring, and she would have killed me http://www.wmur.com/news/4662061/detail.html
Arkady Renko Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Who's complaining? I tip a lot of people and tip them appropriately. If your service sucks, so will the tip. That doesn't happen too often however. I tip guys that deliver furniture to the house and some other odd things. Sadly, guys like the mailman, and gladly the garbage men get overlooked. Although in my neigborhood the garbage men seem to think they are rulers of the land and they wont ever see a dime from me. 735581[/snapback] I may have quoted you... but I wasn't directing it to you. Sorry bout the confusion. I just picked a random post.
Arkady Renko Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Unless the garbageman is cutting your hair, in which case 10% is appropriate. At least that's what society says. 735534[/snapback] There's a time in a place for being a free spirit or a man making your own rules or whatever else. Unfortunately, tipping now has become part of the wages that certain people earn. Barbers, waiters, etc. charge and are paid based on the expectation that they can expect tips normally. Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but you're effectively ripping the person off if a tip is expected and you ain't paying it out of spite towards the mores of the place you live.

Or is that the same... NH, ME... What is the difference... What the hell are they putting in the water there? And they complain about the water here... We just flush it away... And let somebody else down river drink it...

Just Jack Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 i gave the kid that deliverd the pizza tonight a $5 tip , bill was $16 did i give to much ? 736505[/snapback] Yep. On $16, you give him a $20 and tell him to keep the change. That gives him $4, or a 25% tip.
