I am a firm believer in the 17-20% rule if service is tight.

listen, if you are buying $125 bottles of wine and you are balking at leaving a tip, you can't afford the wine.

One time I forgot to tip my hair stylist and I felt horrible about it.
At the same time, should someone really feel horrible about it after just missing one time, even though they usually tip people regularly? That's probably just my personal issue though.
Anyway, I made sure to do it the next time I went by.

I agree about the bathroom people, joyride. It's a bit unsettling.
About public washrooms: whether or not I will use their facilities all depends on the place, of course .

I kinda always overtip, I rarely go anywhere very fancy though. I'm uninterested in appearing from a higher class than I am.

part of going out and having a drink is tipping, so buy a bottle and drink it at home if it's such a bother.

Waiting tables should be mandatory for everyone in the US for at least 4 months directly following high school. Like mandatory military service in Israel. That way nobody would complain about tipping and this discussion would be over forever.
If you tip less than 15%, you're really ripping off your server b/c more often than not they have to pay out a portion of their tips to bus boys, bartenders, and people like sommeliers at the nicer establishments. So, even if it's only 1% for everyone (and that's low), then your waiter keeps 13% or less of their tip money. That's why I always tip over 18%, usually upwards of 20% if they're halfway decent. Even the shitty servers are running their asses off on a busy Saturday night.
The only way I would EVER stiff someone would be if they were outright rude. I once had a waitress forget to ring in our order, only to realize this 45 minutes later. She came and apologized, practically shitting herself and offering free dessert etc. etc. I felt sorry for her b/c she was obviously slammed, gave her 20%. It wasn't really any skin off my back, so whatever.

even though you were kidding, don't you guys tip a lot, eddie?
I think most NYers and people who live in larger cities like that would tip more often in general...
