    Would and have done many times. Fun fact: beer is a good source of vitamin B12, something that vegetarians (like myself) need, since it is normally found only in animal products.

    Would you give the dollar that you had hoped to buy coffee with to a busker, if he or she was tallented enough?

    Why not? If they have the moxie to get out on the street and entertain for whatever people donate, that's more guts than I would probably have.

    How do you deal with people who knock on your door trying to get you to join up with their religion?

    I tell them the devil is already my best friend, and if they don't run away fast enough he will get them. (The devil being my playful and always happy dog)

    Nah, seriously, I try to convert them to atheism, usually has them leaving very quickly. Unless I'm in a hurry, in which case I tell them I'm in a hurry and don't have time for them, upon which I just close the door.

    i never take witheld numbered call, i never oopen door if i recognise the person...and usually u can tell if its one of those kinds of people here to convert u to their religion. u know what works best? if u know a little about thier religion and quote it back to them and ask them 'ahh, yes, but here...' blah blah usually gets them scared and running.

    or the more fun approach is to them that someone has to go to hell right? whose going to keep hell running?

    I'll talk with them, but they usually bugger off pretty quickly once I tell them that I don't believe in god. The last one had some interesting ideas about consumerism and looked exactly like the world's greasiest insurance salesman. He brought his son.

    Who you care to comment on how much do you usually tip the pizza delivery guy?

    We usually give the pizza guy two or three bucks. We don't do a percentage on that because here pizza is everywhere and you can always find a cheap pizza. But since they have to drive their own cars I think a tip is in order. Plus I hear from a former pizza guy in my psych class that it's bad manners to not tip. Or is it all just a scam? Do they take our tips and laugh at us later?

    At restaurants, you're supposed to tip at least 15% percent but if I get bad service then I won't. Rumor has it you're supposed to tip the person who cuts/colors your hair.

    Do you agree that you should tip the person who cuts or colors or styles your hair (or give you a manicure, pedicure or wax) and if so, how much?

    I am required to maintain insurance and a perfect driving record and for that I get paid... gas money. My income comes from my tips. How much did you think a pizza place would pay its drivers for a $10 pizza? My guess is that the same thing applies to a $10 haircut.

    My answer to your question is: yes, I think that tipping for service is appropriate in all cases, as a form of saying "Thank you for the service" even when the service itself is also being paid for. In other words, the employer guarantees that the service is available, so you pay for the service, but this individual, not some other flunkie, actually provided the service, so if it was service that merits a common-courtesy "Thank you," the appropriate way of saying "Thank you" is with the tip. Depending on the complexity of the service, I value the "Thank you" between 10% and 18%, but since 18% is difficult to calculate in my head, I'll often round up to 20% or down to 15% depending on the quality of the service. And... if I want to say, "Thanks for nuthin', bozo!" I'll tip ten cents. Leaving no tip at all can be misconstrued as forgetfulness.

    Next question: should computer data recovery or user training be considered a "service"?

    Yes, since not every one is skilled enough to do it.

    Would you eat a jalapeno pepper just to prove you're tough enough?

    Exclamation

    Not really. If people don't get an idea by just looking at me, I can always break a brick with my head. Actually, I'm beyond all this foolish "see how tough I am" stuff, being age 46 next month. At one time I might have though.

    Why would you wish people to think you were someone who is tough and bad to begin with?

    I do not think I would want to make such a wish, I am not tough (physically), mentally I can take a lot of pressure, and I have no intention of faking something that is very apparent. And I dont think I am bad either, I am okay (good and bad, both).

    What will you do if you were in a relation, where you increasingly feel that the other person is taking advantage of you, and present all things done as if done for love.
