TMI Tuesday

#48

1. Do you leave a tip at a restaurant? If so, how much? Do you double the tax?

Of course I tip! I take the total and figure 10% and double that. Then I either round up or down depending on the quality of the service. Servers get taxed on their tips (in most cases) regardless of whether you leave one or not.

2. What celebrity did you have a crush on growing up?

David Cassidy was the earliest one I remember, when I was 8 or so.

3. Do you excuse yourself to “fart” or let it rip and blame the guy next to you?

Well, I never do the latter. It sort of depends on the situation, frankly.

4. When entering or exiting a store, do you hold the door open for the person behind you, if they're relatively close... if they're more than 10 steps away do you pause and hold the door open?

Of course I hold the door for people behind me, and I'll even pause if they're close enough to speak to in a normal tone of voice.

I always remember one of my sister's telling me when I was a kid about going on a hike on a narrow path. The person she walked behind kept allowed the underbrush to thwack back and hit Sis on the face and she got really tired of it; he never warned her, never held on to it...and so she had to walk 15 feet behind him in order not to get hit. And then he'd say something and she couldn't hear, so she'd move forward just in time to get thwacked again.

Hold the door; it's just polite.

5. Ever had mono?

Nope. At this point in my life, I hope I never get it, either!
