I was 12 and met this boy who was at least two years older than me and was disgustingly manipulative, saying shit like "if you don't let me kiss you I'll break windows and you'll get in trouble." The place where he threatened to break windows was actually the town hall (it was a small… Read More

I neither agreed or disagreed with that one because I live in New Zealand, where we don't really have a tipping culture. You can tip if you'd like but it's not necessary for a servers survival.
