To tip, or not to tip?

Bit odd innit?

I'm currently on the Americans vs. Europeans side of TikTok, and it is fascinating. Every time a European (usually a British person ) tries to dunk on Americans for being stupid, the most well-spoken American on God's green earth puts them in their place. I'm not sitting around defending America all day, every day, but I find it satisfying when Americans dunk on the British. It makes me feel like my team is winning! In all honesty, I think that British culture and American culture are equally c…

Tipping culture in America is pretty straightforward. If you're eating at a sit-down restaurant, it's expected that you tip your waiter 20% of the cost of your meal in total. This system is in place because paying servers far less than the minimum wage is legal and common, with restaurant owners assuming most of their income will be supplied by tips. Tipped employees in some U.S. states can make as little as $2.13 per hour , which is why it's so important to tip them 20%. Many Europeans visitin…

I doubt that fish sticks, or (as the Brits refer to them) fish fingers are considered a delicacy anywhere in the world. The flaccid food reminds me of sad nights growing up with a mom who hated cooking. Paired with a glass of whole milk, fish sticks are the stuff of my epicurean nightmares. In some places, however, a fish finger is begging to be lovingly placed in a sandwich and enjoyed as comfort food. Okay, some places = England. While the United Kingdom may not be known for imaginative cuisi…

It's been a wild couple of months in the UK, to say the least. British people got a new Prime Minister, they lost a queen, they got a new king, they did a bunch of mourning, and finally, the brand spanking new 47-year-old Prime Minister resigned in disgrace, all in a period of under 50 days. There's only one way that this situation could get even crazier…but for the sake of fans of the royal family, I will refrain from speaking it out loud. The resignation of Liz Truss did not come as a huge sh…

Queen Elizabeth II lived a long life. There's no denying that a ninety-six-year existence is impressive. A lot can be accomplished and experienced in that amount of time: marriage , parenthood, wars, imperialism, etc. But a ninety-six-year life also leads to a different sort of prolificness - the ability to be trending on Twitter for a week straight. Mentions of the deceased matriarch have been going strong since the news of her demise, and while not all of the memes, jokes, and tweets are tast…

If you're online right now, you know that Queen Elizabeth II has died at age 96. There were several things that signaled her death would be announced before the news officially came in. The BBC website changed to black, BBC on-air presenters changed into black attire, and BBC One cancelled regular programming until 6pm. Many believed these were the signs that she has already died, and they were correct. One of the telltale signs that the Queen's condition was quickly deteriorating is that the R…

RIP UK sanity
