Hey, no problem! Be sure to leave the Sears clearance tags on them. It shows you went the extra mile.

Seriously, I do not mind going to an inexpensive restaurant (little red flag btw) as long as the food and services are amazing, but anyone who tips below 15% for reasonably good service, i will never go on a 2nd date with them. It just embarrasses me. I expect the men to tip 25% usually for good service. And of course, this is when they ask me out for a date. and you know the worst part? some men would even ask you to pay half of it even though they initiated the date. in my book, thats down right WRONG!

I had an ex who just HATED tipping people. It really irritated me to go out to eat with her.
She liked to pay for anything regarding me but when it came to other people...nope. I had to talk her into leaving a tip behind. I wish there was a little smiley that shook it's head...

I won't go out to a restaurant if he is going...he also divides the check up perfectly and then argues about how many drinks one person had, he did not like the appetizers everyone shared so he should not pay for that...he ticks me off and embarrasses me beyond belief...how he ever found someone that would marry him amazes me...

Rotfl wth that is funny. Does the Flobee even work? My Dad bought that thing too and I just don't see how that thing can possibly work.

I cut and style my own. I have inexpensive hair salon equipment and for the last year or more I've been doing a fantastic job cutting my own hair. It also looks better too and costs nothing.

The wait person doesn't get a tip if she is snippy or arrogant.

Perfect idea...but I was thinking Goodwill would be a better place for grannie undies... that truly shows the spirit in which the gift was sent...

Once when I was about 12 yrs. old we went on the yearly family holiday visit. There was lots of family on my mothers side and lots of us kids and we were all cousins so they drew names for all the kids gifts, some recieved cool toys and games, plus one even got a BB gun but when I saw my tiny little gift, I thought great! it must be a pocket knife? WRONG! believe it or not to my dismay it was a $0.50 cent pair of finger-nail clippers!!! and they came from the most promenent member of the family!? Top that!? (reminder) 12yr. old boys DO NOT dig nail clippers!

I guess it works...but he always looks like an idiot so how can I be sure? How can you cut the back of your hair? Isn't that difficult?
