That you notice that speaks well of your abilities in that regard.

All most people want in life is to feel heard and understood and so few people can do that well. Maybe instead of compulsory military service we need compulsory Service service. Everyone has to work some job for at least 2 years where they are compelled in some fashion to make sure people are taken care of (medical, tech support, flight attendant, waitress, etc.).

Since I was going to come here to say something about tipping, I have to agree with Moss that everyone should have to do something like that. Then they will know how much it sucks when you don't get tipped. It wasn't really the tipping thread that got me going as much as the random nasty things people will post when they don't agree with you. You don't have to say someone is stupid, or lame, or whatever, just because they're not in front of your face and you don't like what they said. So that's why I'm taking a break. Tipping is just a pet peeve because my life revolves around tips.
