Well, I'd leave you a generous tip for putting up with me. However, I see myself being impaled with a spork, wooden kabob skewer or broken beer bottle before we ever got to the tipping stage. In this case, maybe blood would be a more gratifying tip. I think I've said this before...but I'm usually a good tipper. At times though, when I have had service that was laughably bad, I get inventive with my "tips". And another time, in addition to the tip, I left this girl a dollar bill that I had folded into a ring...Cuz I'm leet like that.

If something is free, I'll generally tip the amount it would have cost. Well maybe. Like if it's a $7 buck meal, I'll tip $7. If it's a $40 haircut, I'll tip $15-20. Course I'd never pay $40 for a haircut. I'd prolly attempt do it myself before I do. But you get the idea. That’s a good point Spiff.

If it's great, I tip more. If its less than "good" I tip less. I never tip below 10% though. Another thing to consider is that if you're getting a discount for any reason (half price burgers at Bennigans on Wed, if lunch takes more that 15 min, it's free, etc, etc) you tip on the <i>original</i> amount, not the new cheaper bill.
