Quick Tipping Question

Do you tip carpet cleaners when they come to your house? I have one here right now and I'm not sure what to do or how much to tip if I am supposed to. The guy is not the owner of the business if that makes a difference.

Re: Quick Tipping Question

  • i never have in the past.
  • DH told me we definitely should but I googled and it looks like most people don't. 
  • And I am totally embarrassed. I left my screen up while I went to get something and the carpet guy was just standing in front of this thread.

    for some reason this made me totally crack up! FWIW I don't tip the carpet cleaners.

    and there are probably much worse threads that he could have peeked at...like ones involving pancake boobs and dinner plate nipples Wink

    I'm too scared to open that at work...what was the pic of?

  • The pic is supposed to be of a penis but i don't see it. I kinda wanna see it though.
  • Oh my god. The penis pic was hilarious (yes, I must be 15 again).. because she obviously didn't have a clue that it was in there. The penis picture must have somehow replaced her picture where ever it was hosted. It was supposed to be a picture of her cat, but it was the really young creepy looking dude. And if you didn't notice the scroll bar, you would have just thought it was an ugly young dude. But, when you scrolled to the right, there it was standing at attention, staring you in the face.

    For reals. It was like "Whoa. Nelly." Some of the comments were LOLriffic. And there's a new "I survived the Cockasaurus of 2012" badge now! Here's how it happened, supposedly (and I confirmed with mrBAMF, this is a very common thing that people do to 'protect' their pics)

    OH! oh my. I clicked.

    So what happened is this: She's stealing bandwidth from someone by taking a picture and direct linking back to their site. They have a script that goes in and replaces all the pictures that are "stolen" with this image. Ta-dah - big penis.

    Taking a picture and direct linking it back tO their site? Is that different from copying the image location and putting it in your sig without using tinypic? I just want to be sure I know what you're saying so I never do it. Lol.

    Yup, she's direct linking it from their site. Some people are verrah protective of their bandwidth.
