Snoo version 6 - Shiny Spring-Summertime Snoo!

[Arnold]

Nah and should be in the anti snoo thread after some gay 21 year old dog eating faggot got me banned from the lounge tc room lol.
I know they're lacking a bit in general iq in the lounge but fuck me.

and no sorry to disappoint you but no cock star was attained

To balance out my post in the sad thread, I just got a text off my housemate saying he told his parents and sister that he's dating our other housemate, who's a pre-op MtF. He'd been really worried and I was sort of worried for him because I know it was hard for me coming out as gay, and explaining his situation to people who don't understand would be even harder, despite him identifying as straight and us all seeing them as a heterosexual couple. Ya know how people get.

Turns out it all went really well, and they're happy for him Really made me smile to hear that, when I met him a year ago he was a sexually conservative virgin, now he's found her and he's really become more confident and more outgoing and easier to live with.

My snoo for today was a pleasant surprise. I went to the Frankie & Bennys just a couple of minutes walk from my home.
Only really went in to get out of the rain for a little while. Anyway I ordered a cappacino to drink to warm me up a bit.
When the waitress(exotic looking girl) came over to see if I had finished I asked for the bill and she said 'oh don't worry about it, its only one drink'.
Bonus I thought as I am nearly skint.I left a £2 tip for her, which probably would have paid for my drink anyway but I'd rather the cash went into her pocket.

maxi I love leaving tips for generally unsuspecting folks ... whenever I order takeout stuff for delivery to my place I usually give em a £2 tip for a £6 or something order .. and they're always surprised .. always feels good to do that

It wasn't that long ago that I found out this isn't standard behaviour. My mate thought I was off my nut when I answered the door for a delivery & told the boy to keep the change (around £2/3) from a tenner. I then found out that quite a few folk didn't think there was anything wrong in letting the person count out your exact change, or just rounding it up by like 10p or something. The only time I'll tip a delivery driver less than a quid is if, for example, it's £9.20 & I give him a tenner I'm not going to go & get another £1.

When I was in Germany I found out that it's basically unheard of to tip a taxi driver, Germans in the taxi with me thinking I was either not right in the head or trying to be a flash cunt (by dishing out an extra euro or two lol!) when as far as I'm concerned it's unheard of not to tip a taxi driver, unless they've massively pissed you off during the taxi journey (even then they'd probably still get a slight <£1 tip).

Sent my mate a tenner to give my dealer cos I owe him 30, text said dealer to tell him as much and that I'll send him 20 asap, and I get a message going 'don't worry darl, I am stoned, it is all good'.

Love that man, never met a better dealer. Every time I go round he'll smoke me up and won't let me even think about rolling some of mine up. Told me he's in the business to meet people and get some cheap smoke. Excellent bloke

edit: he just text me saying he will get me and my mate high as hell when I get home, said I'd bring the beers, yesss

I'm as poor as they come. really. not even joking. but regardless, I don't deal in pence. ever. I ain't no Mr Pink, and I wholeheartedly only ever deal in £'s no matter what my personal situation. I am often completely skint, but I always, always tip .. always. I'd feel a total fucking scumbag cunt even ordering if I couldn't place an order plus about a £2 tip. It's not like it stands between you and starvation for fuck's sake. get a fucking grip you non-tippers. I'd rather go without rather than not tip.

I'll quite happily shift my bags of £1 pennies via the ASDA self service tills, but when push comes and I'm desperate, I still ain't a penny pincher.

[edit]
Counting out change?! Fucking *shudder*! stop that shit right now. Copper change gets left to go in the charity box in the local Sainsburys or corner shop. Mass copper accidentally amassed goes into the change bottle, which gets dumped at the local ASDA self service tills eventually, but generally I leave it in the charity box on the counter

I completely agree with you (other than your "I don't deal in pence. Ever." because you must do, or you wouldn't have pennies to take to the machine! ). I'm on the rock n roll but I still always put anything under 20p, often anything under £1, in the charity box in a shop, if I'm in a bar or something then a £3.20 drink always costs me at least £4 etc.

I've always been a tipper as well probably since I got my first weekend job while at school.
I would always tip the guy who cut my hair,I think that's where it started.
Now I always tip waiters,food delivery drivers and taxi drivers especially if we've had a good chat during the drive, if they have been ignorant & clearly didn't want to chat then I don't bother tipping them.

I always thought this was just normal behaviour from everyone, everywhere. Like washing your hands after taking a shite lol. Hair-dressers/barbers an all. But then, through speaking to folk about it, I found out that while it's still more common than not there's plenty of people out there who think nothing at all of leaving no tip (to be fair, when in America I was often half tempted not to, because they fucking DEMAND it & sometimes actually kick off at people for not doing it, which makes me think "Fuck you, you're not getting it then!". That really annoys me actually. A tip is supposed to be something extra, not something included in the bill but not actually included in the bill, if that makes sense. "I need my tips to live!" well, fucking shout odds at your boss for more money, don't shout at me, the cunt who just forgot to leave a tip after already fucking paying you!!! You're obviously not getting it now ya wank" - that was pretty much a conversation I had in America, when I was fucking 16 & my mates mum was paying, hadn't left a tip & had left before us. Great fun walking out of a restaurant in Florida shouting abuse in thick Glaswegian lol.)

I guess I was just brought up to always tip people. For example, I can remember going for haircuts at like 8 year old so obviously not paying myself but my dad would give me a couple of quid & tell me to go give it to the person who'd cut my hair after paying for us both.

Presumably you know now that in the states a tip is NOT something extra but is actually part of the wage of waiters etc. They demand it because they need it to eat! It's not their choice either, it's assumed by all restaurant / cafe owners that customers will tip so they pay their staff less, they don't have minimum wage mind. The idea being if they depend on tips they'll have an incentive to work harder, or in your case shout at you for your money. Pretty shocking state of affairs and next time you visit a country read a lonely planet guide or something!

There was a service charge on every single bill I ever saw (admittedly I saw a total of only about 10). This, to me, is the mandatory tip. Whether that is right or not I don't give a fuck. If there's no service charge on the bill then I'll add my own, fair play. Anything over & above that is at my discretion as far as I'm concerned. Otherwise, what the fuck is the service charge? Also, when I'm the oldest one at the table as we're leaving having, as far as we knew, already paid for everything & I'm only 16 then someone (at a guess, at least 10 years older than me) who tries to shout at me for a tip can get fucked. Cunt was lucky he just got told to get fucked & that no-one cracked him. We weren't exactly the most sober & civilised crowd of 15/16 year olds they had in that night. In fact, we were probably the least sober & civilised 15/16 year olds they'd ever had in lol.

"next time you visit a country read a lonely planet guide or something!" - Fuck off. I was a wee guy. Going on holiday to fucking Disneyland with one of my mate's families & another 4 of my mates. You think I should have worked out how the tipping system worked in a restaurant? Which, coincidentally I kind of did know although I don't know why, but I correctly or incorrectly assumed (& still would to this day) that an additional service charge which was a certain percentage (I forget what exactly) of the overall bill would be this tip that is expected (demanded) of you. I'd also still to this day want to break the nose of a cunt that shouted at me in a restaurant for not leaving a tip, whether they can eat or not that night. The boy in KFC down the road doesn't shout abuse at me because his shitty wage isn't enough for him to live on & I've made the heinous crime of paying what the bill said instead of giving him more, does he? (in this case I hadn't even paid it, the "adult" with us had, then left for some reason).

fair enough, I didn't read the bit about you being 16!

Was sat here thinking the only booze I had left was two pints worth of shitey Sainsburys cider when my housemate knocked on my door and gave me a can of Red Stripe I'd apparently left on the windowsill when I went for a shower.

 

[maxalfie]

Had nice surprise today. Had ordered my vallies to get me through the festive period and they turned up a day early,which was nice.
Ended up having a lovely chilled out afternoon on my now fixed X-box.

Got a call off my dealer sayin he's got weed in. Told him I had no money til tomorrow and my housemate overheard and gave me 25 quid to get a 20 bag and pay for some baccy, long as I pay him back tomorrow. Didn't even ask, what a legend. Need to get the lad some beers when I've got spare cash.
