Nine Reasons I Hate Tips Jars In Coffee Shops (and other stores)

1. The coffee is usually expensive enough.
2. Those people are ALREADY making at least minimum wage, unlike servers in restaurants.
3. Pouring coffee into a cup and passing it over the counter is hardly something worthy of a tip. Bring it to my table, refill it without me asking and THEN I would tip you.
4. If I thought you deserved a tip, I would offer it on my own.
5. Assuming that I want to tip you just pisses me off.
6. When did it become okay for employers to use customers to compensate employees?
7. I saw a tip jar at a cash register in a grocery store, which is funny since they never bag my groceries properly and don’t bruise all of my produce.
8. People clearly have no clue what you have to do to deserve a tip.
9. The expectation that you deserve a tip is really insulting.

Nine Reasons I’m Not Voting In The Presidential Election

1. I don’t like Obama.
2. I don’t like McCain.
3. I will not be forced to vote for Obama because the DNC declared him the nominee before he earned the title.
4. I will not be forced to vote for Obama because the news media declared him the nominee before he earned the title.
5. The only qualified person, Hillary, that was in the race was pushed out of it.
6. Anti-polar bear Palin scares me.
7. Obama and his message of “hope” scare me.
8. No one left in the race has anything to offer me.
9. This election year is proof that the system is broken, so why bother?

Nine Reasons Credit Cards are Evil

1. They teach you that it’s okay to spend money that you don’t have.
2. They clutter your mailbox with their “special offers”
3. Most of the time you can’t even qualify for those “special offers” and they stick you with a crappy offer.
4. They prey on people without financial knowledge.
5. They routinely raise fees and interest rates.
6. They aren’t flexible at all - miss a payment by one day and it’s off to 32% APR land for you!
7. Universal default clause.
8. They will randomly close your card or change your interest rate with little or no warning.
9. They can pull you in to a vicious cycle of living beyond your means.

Nine Reasons I Hate Wal-Mart

1. The floors are always sticky.
2. There are always unsupervised children running amuck in Wal-Marts
3. They never have enough cashiers working.
4. There is just something about being able to get my ammo and my groceries in the same place.
5. They seem to employ only complete idiots.
6. They pay their employees poorly and then work them to death.
7. They lure me with their ‘always low prices’ and then I just end up in incredibly long lines.
8. Did I mention the lines are always incredibly long?
9. They think a 98-cent two liter of soda is a good incentive for signing up for their credit card.

Nine Reasons Living In An Apartment Sucks

1. You have to rely on the other idiots not to burn the place down.
2. You have to deal with other people’s barking dogs.
3. You have to deal with other people’s loud, bratty kids. (who always seem to be in your path)
4. Your neighbors think they have superior taste in music and like to share their tunes with the rest of the building.
5. Thin walls = TMI about what goes on in your apartment
6. The apartment complex ALWAYS raises your rent.
7. Cushy, soft carpet is just a dream.
8. Apparently over-priced rent and a hefty deposit does not equal light fixtures in every room.
9. Bland white walls, ugly brown cabinets, almond colored appliances and dirty looking beige carpet - in almost every apartment I have lived in.
