Society's unwritten rules.

The phrase is "I couldn't care less." "Could" implies that you actually care, since you "could" care less than you do. I hate it when people say things without thinking about what their words mean.

Personally, I don't really care how good the service is, I tip whatever I can spare (usually $2-4) so long as the service was acceptable. Do a competent job, get a tip. It's only if they get the order wrong, or are nowhere to be found when my glass is empty (I don't mind asking, but I'd like someone to hear me), or something along those lines that I don't tip.

Chivalry isn't dead. Some folks, myself included, are dedicated to ensuring that it's alive and well as long as we are. Granted, it needed a few updates to allow for the realization that, OMG!, women are actually people. But we're workin' on it. :P



In most circumstances, is it not rude to ask your host for things other than drink? Fellow pot smokers, is it not highly rude to ask for reefer when you have none? I don't care how much you fiend, you only take what's offered to you, and is it not the same for all things when you're a guest in someone's house? I mean, unless you're my best friend, I always hate it when someone asks me "Hey man, ya got any food here?"

BTW, some social rules are stupid, Krusty 69, and thinking for yourself is important, but some rules are there for a very good reason. For example: It's an unwritten rule that you don't spit in people's faces or piss on their children. We don't have a book of ettiquite that states that, but I think it's safe to assume that we look down on that kinda behavior.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

All good, Krusty, all good.

Hey Sass, think for yourself and you'll get all the respect you need and deserve. If that limp-wristed crap isn't for you, then don't bother with it. Be yourself, shake any hand any which way ya please, and I assure you no harm can come of it. You'll feel better doing it your own way, too.

I offer my hand to anyone I've just met, regardless of gender. It's one of my own unwritten rules that I don't bother with sexism, polite or otherwise. And I don't care how you shake my hand as long as you do it, so long as you don't try to crush it. That'll get you a swift kick to the nether region, y'dig? Judging people by anything other than their ideas, mannerisms, and personality is an utterly absurd concept to me.

That much said, it's greatly appreciated if you wipe the sweat off before you offer your hand or take mine. I take pride in my non-clammy hands, I'd prefer they stay that way.

And one last thing: I greet my closer friends with a hug, same goes for most of my family, but I'd never greet a new acquaintance with one. And unless you're a high school girl, it's probably not a good idea for you to, either. Some people get reeaall touchy when you get up in their space like that. Weirdos. :P

There's nowhere I can't reach.
