Woke up at 5am this morning to catch the sanitation crew on my street. It's a crew of three and I tip them generously every year as I do my mail carrier. My neighbor came out after they pulled away and asked me if there was a "problem" with them. He knew what I was doing but was being a nosy little bitch. I told him I was giving them their Christmas tip and didn't want to leave it taped to the can. He laughed and said "that's what taxes are for". I told him I tipped the mail carrier yesterday too. He shook his head.
Now, I know I don't HAVE to tip them, but I CHOOSE to. These guys are here in the hot humid days of summer and the cold snowy days of winter. It's my way of saying thanks. It set me back what I would spend on one round of golf, lunch and beers with my friends. My neighbor is upset because it makes him look like a cheap fuck for not tipping.

This guy is a structural engineer and his wife is an RN. What the hell is wrong with people?

I took care of our mail carrier yesterday, nothing major, just a $20 gift card. He as so grateful I thought he was going to cry. I wasn't prepared for a reaction like that so I just said" Easy big boy, I'm not kneifl."

Bartenders are generally the only people I give Holiday Tips to. I don't think I've ever thought to tip government workers. Are they allowed to take it? Is giving money to a government worker a type of a bribe? :facepalm:

Honestly, I've never seen my mail carrier, I'm always at work when he comes. Same with garbage man, comes at 4am, everyday.
Who else? Hairdressers? Beauticians? My nail girl. My fluffer? Where should it begin and end?
Yeah, bartenders for sure though. :toast::toast:

I tipped my mail carrier 25 cash as well, she is great getting my mealworms in shade when they are ordered, and puts two stacks in box, one with perceived junk and one with stuff I need to see

I have to admit I did not know the meaning until I just googled it

:facepalm:



I wish you all the fluffer happiness in the world

A young man employed as a fluffer in the adult entertainment industry finds himself falling for a gay-for-pay porn star whose hedonistic lifestyle may lead them both to destruction.

Or as I call it, Saturday night.


Damn, you crack me the hell up!!!!

I want another night of "wheel of fortune" with me, you, Jack and Angela in Vegas. That was such a fun time. You still have the hat? Angela says to send you her love. We are headed out for sushi dinner.
