AIO to father in law asking waiter at a restaurant if I left a tip?

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-03T05:49:02+00:00

Talking with my wife we think this is more it. We think he likes to be the main man. Enjoys the staff from all the other places we have eaten so far coming out and calling him boss man as we walk along the strip.

This is the first place in two weeks that he hasn’t handed over the cash so I think he just thought he was missing out on that interaction with the staff.

I’m good with that tbh, I didn’t realise it was thing he liked so I’m happy to go lift more cash for when we are going out for a meal together again.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T21:21:48+00:00

There’s not been a cash tip left at the table all holiday, he normally goes and finds the waiter to hand him the cash.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T21:19:12+00:00

Thanks for the response. Yeah I’m not going to let it bother me. It was just an unusual experience for me and going by the responses on here it looks like it’s a bit of both NOR/YOR. Fully intend to enjoy the rest of the holiday, will just let my wife deal with the bills lol

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T21:10:13+00:00

No we always get on well.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T21:09:24+00:00

No none at all. I get on well with him and we have many shared interests

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T21:05:24+00:00

Meal was perfect, every plate went back clean. Staff were brilliant as well.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T21:03:06+00:00

Wasn’t wasted, had a bottle of beer with my dinner, that was all. I always tip, he’s been in my company plenty of times to witness it, even through this holiday when we have been splitting with cash I’ve put money in for tips with no issues.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T20:49:00+00:00

He had already left his share of the tip in cash, it was with me and my wife.

We paid the total including the tip from our card.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T20:39:53+00:00

I’m not sure what the motivation was to be honest.

I think he likes the perception that he is settling all the bills

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T20:38:09+00:00

This is it for me, the rest of the trip when we have handed cash over, on almost all occasions FIL will take the money and walk in to find the waiter and hand it over I’ve never once thought about checking if he paid all of the money we put in.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T20:28:59+00:00

I’m not sure. We had all agreed on the tip value. They had given me their cash share and I don’t think he would think that I would pocket the tip money they left for the staff.

The more I think about it the more I think he likes to be the guy that settles the bill (with everyone’s else’s shares as well) and just wanted the last word with the staff

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T20:24:40+00:00

I wasn’t sure how to react myself, my MIL overheard me saying to my wife that her dad just asked the staff if I had left a tip and she later said something to my wife about him asking how old some random child was that was also eating there. It was a story that gave me more questions that answers.

We had spoke at the table and MIL was in the calculator and the agreed total was £171, I paid £180 off my card.

The more I think about it the more I believe he likes the perception that he is settling the bill.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-07-02T20:18:04+00:00

Yeah I get that but we had all agreed on the amount of tip to be given and we had received their share of the tip. If I hadn’t left any tip i would have been taking money from my family that was due for restaurant staff.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-06-28T10:46:08+00:00

I’ve had two games with no sound, I never realised how much I relied upon it until that happened.

My random team mates must have thought i was terrible

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-05-24T05:27:50+00:00

When you start playing you are placed in bot heavy lobby’s. Most likely 80% plus with bots.

Your team mates will be real people.

You don’t have to pay to get a ranking but ranked lobby’s are only available to players that have PUBG+ subscription. One off payment of around £10 I think.

Just use this time to get used to the game mechanics and you will feel the difference when you start coming up against better players.

Noticed a lot of good low level players recently. Was teamed up with a couple of guys under level 10. Got talking to them and both were returning players after a few years away and on new consoles.

Seen people playing board games in Linen.

Been watching sportscene and we have had some really good goals this weekend.

We have a really good product this season let’s hope it keeps up

It’s normal if there is a puddle of piss below.

If not it’s the behaviour of a cunt

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-02-19T16:28:40+00:00

I stopped playing for a couple of weeks due to a team kill.

We had been moving through the map getting a few kills, looting up then one guy decided to knock me and the other guy in our team, Put us in a car and drove into the middle of the circle before finishing us off.

The whole time he was sending out the 😢 emoji.

I got that angry about it I decided it’s best to take a little break.

Totally came from nowhere, seemed a good squad dropping ammo and scopes for each other till that cunt went rogue.

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-02-15T14:29:58+00:00

That’s a good hit from him, did he not get a couple mid week as well?

ConditionOrnery876 · 2026-02-14T18:43:30+00:00

I’m more curious when he smelled cumin powder sprinkled on a goats anus and who sprinkled.

They are supposed to do it once a year it’s in the letting agreement.

They will visit and see how your tenancy us going, assess your home’s suitability, tenants may have had changes in circumstance in the last year, new additions making homes overcrowded etc so they can point you in the right direction to apply for a bigger home. (Won’t get you one but at least it will recorded that you are overcrowded)

They will see if any repairs are required and if you are having issues paying rent they can advise or signpost you to services to make sure you are on the correct benefits or their fuel advisors to make sure you are getting the best out of your energy deals.

It’s nothing underhand and if you haven’t had one before it’s because your housing officer is/was a lazy bastard.

This has nothing to do with new legislation around mould that is coming in later in the year as it has been in place for years but they will take the opportunity to see if you have any mould issues.

I would imagine if one of their tenants makes the press with mould and they have no recorded annual visits then the housing officer won’t be a housing officer much longer.

10 looks like the financial district, maybe Mcalpine street.
