Some friends have taken to using the clean dirty from the Orbit commercial. So "lint licker" has made an appearance

"What the French, toast?!?!?!?"

I think I'm going to use "assweasel" and "monkeyfucker" from now on.

I don't get why we tip some service persons and not others. Why the waiter, the hairdresser, the valet, and the baggage handler, and not the housekeeper, the lawn guy, or the cook? My first real date with my now-ex, I left a tip for the housekeepers when I left the motel, and he was *awestruck*. He told me nobody EVER tips the housekeepers. (He was the hotel manager. Our first date was not a night in a hotel room. Just to clear that up.) Ever since then, I've made it a point to do so, because that is one of those totally necessary jobs with not a lot of respect attached, you know?

I think that woman might have been a guest star on The Closer this week.

You don't tip the housekeeper and the lawn guy? I thought one did. And the cook is supposed to get a cut of what you tip the wait staff, no?

What does a housekeeper do for you if you're not staying in the hotel? And are you differentiating that from the maid who cleans your room?

(Not arguing, just confused.)

I use "fucksticks" when truly vexed.

"H-E-Double-Fucksticks!"

Yeah, that could work.

It's nice to see a lot of the same monkey/weasel logic being applied and cuntyballs amuses me.

I do tip the housekeeper, it just seems that most people don't, and I think they should. (I'm referring to the maid who cleans my hotel room as the housekeeper.) I don't tip my own lawn guy because I'm PAYING him. I'm just not understanding how we as a society decide who should be tipped and who doesn't need to be. And I agree that it would be better all round if people got paid a decent wage instead of having to rely on the whims of customers for a substantial portion of their income. The idea, of course, is that good service will always = good tips, but in RL it doesn't work that way.

I agree with Zenkitty that it's random. I worked all sorts of low-paid food service and retail jobs (including minimum wage jobs). I always gave good service. I wasn't tipped in any of those jobs.

He told me nobody EVER tips the housekeepers.

I tip the hotel housekeepers. ($2-3 bucks a day)

Okay, gotcha. I thought tipping the housekeeper was fairly well established. The lawn guy I think of as someone like the dorrman, who gets tipped around the holidays but not on a time by time basis.

Now I'm reminded of a time when I left $50 on the counter for my dad - disremember why he was coming by - and the dog walker took it.

(Totally fair assumption for her to make that it was for her, to be clear. I'd forgotten she was coming on a different day that week and it was right before the holidays. Was just a wee bit more than I'd anticipated giving her at the time.)
