Timelies all!
Got my flu shot last month. I hope that wasn't too early in the season, because I don't want to have to get a booster shot.(I have no idea how long the shot is good for. My MIL claims her doctor said 3 months, but I'm dubious)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

If your MIL is over 70 or has an impaired immune system her doctor may have told her that, though not on the basis of much good evidence.
If you don't fall into one of those categories you are good to go.

if you decide to split your bill between diners or multiple forms of payment, don’t under-tip by accident. Twenty percent refers to the entire check and not just your portion.
Oh HELL no! I will be tipping for what I purchased, or for a previously agreed-upon even share of a group check, not for the total bill for an entire table full of people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Does that not imply that everyone is supposed to put 20% of the total tip when the bill is split? That's news to me.
Yeah, that's ridiculous. If each person puts in 20% of what they pay, you're good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Connie, good for you!

Yeah, that. Sheesh.

I think it means don't let the waitstaff get screwed over because the person you're with is cheap. Not that I know people like that or anything.

I also think what happens is some people go "ok, I owe $13 with tax and tip and Jan is $15 so here's some cash and put the rest on Joes card" and then joe Gets the receipt and says "ok, there was $8 left in the bill and I'm tipping 20% so that's...like $10? I'm generous!" But actually Joe owed a lot more an the waitress got a $2 tip total.

That's BS.
Also, it's supposed to be tip pretax, but I always tip on the total.

Isn't it like a 1 or 2% difference, if you're tipping 20% and the tax is 5 or 10%? Who actually cares?
