I just got back from Vegas. I hate going places like that. I find it very stressful -- it's all the tipping you have to do. For me it's all just another exercise in self-loathing. And by that I mean it's not possible, for me anyway, to tip the exact right amount. In fact, I usually end up getting angry with myself after each tip, and will find myself thinking essentially one of two things:
1) Jesus Dan, that's a small tip. You are a stingy, selfish person. You are SMALL.
-- or --
2) Why did you tip so much? You like wasting money? You know that over-tipping is a sign of low self-esteem! You are soooo afraid that this person will dislike you or think less of you? You're hopeless. You make me sick.
Self-loathing. The great equalizer.
