People need to take a class in effective email titles.

There should be a test to be allowed to live. On it you should know that the saying is "I couldn't! give a crap less", that you tip at least 15%, and that fat chicks shouldnt wear spandex (or in their case, expandex).

ugh. nice post, I got one of those earlier today.

-Saying "I couldn't give a crap less" is preposterous.
-Tipping 15% for substandard service should be generosity, not a prerequisite for continued existence.

Um no, think about it. Saying I could give a crap less is preposterous, because it implies that you DO care about the subject, when that is opposite of the meaning of the true idiom.

15% is not generosity, it is understood. If the service is bad, 10%, if its good, the ceiling is the limit. Youve obviously never worked for tips.
