On February 9, 2009 6:14 PM in The Fixe Is In: More Restaurants Adding Automatic Tip to Bill, they said:

Well some of them that know and don't tip are clearly in the wrong. However, I do know some people, in my personal experience, that truly didn't know and they also didn't know that the pay is less bec...

On February 9, 2009 11:13 AM in The Fixe Is In: More Restaurants Adding Automatic Tip to Bill, they said:

Many people overseas don't tip because they don't know they are supposed to. I have had to tell friends from Europe to tip when they've been visiting. They're not trying to rip anyone off, they simp...

On October 21, 2008 6:50 PM in When Did Punk Die?, they said:

About the hipster thing, hipsters are conforming to their own subculture. I get sneered at for not wearing skinny jeans or giant white sunglasses (I live in North Brooklyn so this happens a lot) but ...

On October 21, 2008 12:19 PM in NYC Waterfalls Get Unceremoniously Disassembled, they said:

While I am neutral about the waterfalls, though they did look rather cool in person, I just wonder why people act like this guy *meant* to damage plant life. Clearly it was an unfortunate and unfores...

On October 5, 2008 1:01 PM in Details Emerge About East 14th Street Fatalities, they said:

#10, who said anything about it being "right"? It's just a fact that any pedestrian should take into account when crossing *anywhere* is all. I see plenty of pedestrians darting across the road agai...

On October 5, 2008 11:51 AM in Windsor Terrace: Keep Cars in Prospect Park, they said:

I almost got run down AGAIN by a person on a bicycle the other day, they also look at you like "how dare you get in my way" when they technically have the red light and you have a walk sign. I ride a...
