Being rude to service staff. Immediate indicator on who they are as a person. There is zero reason to ever be mad at someone making near minimum wage whose job it is to grab you a drink or check you out or something. It also shows that they’ve themselves never worked service, which is a rite of passage

“Why should I tip?! I’m already paying for the service!”

Immediately leave without even telling them to take a cab.

Edit: 1, I am in the US, yes.

2: the wording sounded like it implied a behavior of a date while out dining. I was answering based on how I’d respond if a prospective mate treated underpaid US staff shitty.

Happens to be true in all modern western countries though, only the US seems unable to force companies to pay a livable minimum wage.

That is specifically a US problem.

Not necessarily. I’m not in the US, but we’ve imported a lot of their less savoury customs, and tipping culture is one of them. It is costumary to tip 18% where I’m from.

If I am ordering and picking up at a counter fuck tipping. If I’m actually being waited on then I’ll always tip if the service wasn’t dogshit.

I tip in those situations because the $5 won’t make a difference to me, but might to them.

Like, if you’re broke, whatever. But some people are pulling in seven figures annually and still whine about a $5 tip.

Certain accents. She can be gorgeous and all, but some accents are an immediate turnoff for me…

What accents in specific?

The ones associated with poverty are the usual ones that catch crap. Regional or recent immigrant.

Maybe this person is going to surprise me and just finds Australian or Parisian French grating personally, though.

Not OP, but I kinda agree. Around where I’m at, posh accents are really annoying.

Not OP, but I’d find Liverpudlian and the Birmingham accent difficult to live with.

I’m German. Foreign accents (I.e. some foreigner speaking German) are either funny or cute to me. If I feel neither, that’s probably because I need to concentrate to understand. In German accents, a Bavarian accent, a Saxon or a Frisian one turn me off.

In (to me) foreign languages, I don’t care, meaning that I’m just as fine with „Oi com frum Birmingham“ as with a posh Oxford accent. Also the southern French accent is fine with me, as well as the northwestern one. I’m also fine with Breton, but that’s a language, not an accent. And I don’t understand the latter very well anyway, let alone speak fluently.

Someone that takes abstract statements personally and responds in anger. It shows a lack of self awareness and depth. It also implies that they have a limited binary view of the world around them; a bipolar me versus others perspective outlook.
