People who dont tip...

I drive people to the airport in my spare time. Hate to say it but frum people just dont know how to tip. Three trips yesterday and not a single tip.
Stop judging frum yidden by the drek that lives in your area. Drive me to the airport, and you'll get a tip 11 out of 10 times.

Don’t want to start an etiquette conversation, however I generally only tip employees not owners. For example, a barber only gets a tip if he doesn’t own the place etc. drivers are similar, if you are driving for yourself include the total amount you want in the price. Exception would be exceptional service, helping schlepp suitcase etc.
I do exactly the same

Paying even a $1 premium over whatever fare you paid so that youre getting a better KSML is a fool's errand. Why would that ever matter. No KSML is worth paying up for, ever.

So basically make someone crazy and take up 5 lbs in their suitcase so that you can get something for 10 bucks cheaper.... good luck with that

Airlines that don't let you look up your itinerary with the eticket number >:(
Airlines that don't show the partner confirmation numbers (or let you pull it up with the partners) and make you call >:(

Very common for people who come from Argentina to pronounce M as N and vice versa.

Is English their first language, or do they speak regular english?
