Last night, my son mentions that a friend of his is in the hospital from a snowmobiling accident, status unknown. We are halfway friends of the family, and I work with the dad on a professional level occasionally. I text the dad, asking about his son. He replies “he is pretty bruised up and sore, xrays showed no broken bones, overall I think he’s doing well,thanx.” I reply with"if you need any help with anything, let me know." His response? “A massage would be awesome” I’m not texting you to proposition you, fucktard, I’m texting you because your kid is in the hospital after totalling his snowmobile. Royally pissed me off. ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I don’t know where the idea of Canadians not tipping comes from - tipping is expected (and given) everywhere I’ve eaten in Canada. It can’t just be the odd rube visiting the US who isn’t tipping if Canadians have a reputation for not tipping. Dunno, maybe Canadian visitors to Mexico don’t get that you still should tip there, too. (The only time I’ve heard such complaints about Canadians, “Canadians” is being used as a euphemism for black people so the speaker doesn’t get called on it and/or can say it around black people.) ---
