They are never needed.
They can be fun.
And.... if they have a point, then they are not that word that I can't spell and always have to copy.

What's going on? Am I too late?
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

We're commenting on the unusual juxtaposition of some of the post subjects on the Bored.

All of my posts are unusually juxtapositional.

Are we hijacking if we post in this thread just for fun? Will it allow those who post in the thread to get their name in the subject? I'm just askin'...

I generally over-gratuitate.......when I'm not juxtapositionally unusual.

I do, too. Unless the !@$#$% restaurant puts the gratuity on the bill. Servers always get ripped off when their restaurants do that to me. I always tip higher than the % they add. But, as a matter of principle, I won't add extra tip when the restaurant has decided for me how much the tip should be.

I don't. If the service was good enough for me to tip 20% and the check adds less than that, I do add the extra money. If the service was just okay, I do not.

Tipping is an archaic custom that should have gone out with the nobility. Compensation for servers should be part of the list price of the meal (and not as a surcharge added on top of the list price).

It should be - so that wait staff are treated as sales and delivery people. Can you imagine if we were asked to tip the sales clerks in a department store or the person who services your car or the person who sells you your movie ticket?
