Interesting. I tip those who are here for home renovations because they barely even get to leave for lunch.
You don’t have to tip a plumber or a mechanic. They both charge for their time at pretty high rates.
I would tip them if it was on a holiday or in horrible weather or something.
Tipping movers is absolutely standard. I usually give about 40 bucks cash per person. Depends how difficult your move is.
I don’t agree that tipping plumbers is a thing. And my dad is a plumber, so I think I would know.
Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?
Let’s see if they float!
I did. I had proof that they had received the first application, which I sent via mail. After that, I went in person.
We only even found out that they had lost my first application because I received a letter (which should have gone to my attorney) saying that my case was being closed because they hadn’t received blah blah blah.
I expected to be denied because almost nobody gets approved on their first go-around, but my SSDI attorney thought I was a shoe-in, as much as anyone can be.
I’m not a veteran, but I couldn’t possibly imagine not tipping movers.
Her crime was being a woman to begin with.
Hey, don’t judge.
I don’t know where people come up with these things.
I’ve never heard that one, but I have heard people argue for a hot dog being a sandwich.
I don’t think that’s weird. A lot of people don’t know that “the state” means “the country” unless you are specifically talking about individual states within a country. I can see how that could be confusing for somebody who doesn’t know better.
I’m reminded of when I was in like 8th grade or something and I was confused about how the UK can be a country but England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland are also countries. Similar concept.
Not one that I overheard but one that I was involved in:
I said that I didn’t like bright yellow. This apparently was extremely offensive to the friend I was dating at the time and he had to convince me that I was wrong and there is no room for opinion on the matter of color preferences.
On a somewhat related note, I was recently denied SSDI despite that I have been on private long-term disability insurance for a few years now, and despite that the two doctors the SSA had me see both said that I was disabled. That’s right: their own doctors said I was disabled and then they denied my claim.
Oh, and this is after they lost my initial application. Twice. That led the private insurer to harass me about not having an answer from the SSA.
You may be on to something. I am much more like person A.
Good! Those tax breaks were a mistake. They’re bringing power-hungry data centers in right when our power supply is decreasing due to the (appropriate) removal of fish-killing dams. All in the name of bringing “high-paying jobs” to rural areas, but anyone in the industry knows that data centers do not need huge numbers of employees and, for the tech industry, the pay is relatively low.
Cursing is just a normal part of language for a lot of us, without it being aggressive.
