My brother's girlfriend is a giant piece of crap. Despite not working all year, she plans on spending at least $300 of their tax return on a shitty tattoo. They're kind of broke, so 300 is pretty significant to them. Apparently that's her fee for keeping the house dirty.

I can't say enough good things about these ZEBRA SARASA pens I got my hands on.

This Zebra label printer, on the other hand, is the pits.

A friend's teenage daughter came out to him last night. When I asked him how he felt about it, he told me he was relieved that his teen daughter would probably never come home pregnant one day.

Another perk to having a gay child!

A man claiming to be a pastor apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God absolved him of having to leave one.

A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip.

"I give God 10%," the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. "Why do you get 18?" He then wrote "Pastor" above his signature, and an emphatic "0" where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.)

The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added.

“Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they’d like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It’s in the computer, it’s not something I do.”

The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn’t want to pay when the time came.”

How does a party of 20 only have a 35 dollar bill.

I don't see the issue of not tipping extra of 28 percent was already taken out.

It was a party of 20 that apparently split their bill. And the customer actually crossed off the 18% that was automatically added by the restaurant's POS system. So instead of getting a $6.29 tip on a $34.93 bill the waiter got nothing. Not tipping extra would be fine but tipping nothing is dickish.

The answer to his asshole question is that's how waiters earn a living. If you can't understand or abide that, eat at home.

It doesn't work like that though. He's still going to be charged the correct amount with the right tip. Him writing on the receipt does nothing. The waiter would have to void the ticket and re ring it with zero tip for him to get away with not tipping.

If that's the case then I guess there's really no issue. But just the fact that they tried to tip nothing is kind of ridiculous.

Only if the pastor paid by credit card. What if he paid cash?
