    Why do sweaty middle aged women bang 5 cent pieces into the 'tips here please' dish in coffee shops, and look at the barista until they acknowledge their insulting gesture?

    Why not?

    If I was a sweaty middle aged woman without a boards login, how else would I get my kicks?

    Why do staff in Ireland expect tips regardless of quality of service or product?

    Why are coffee shops so hot? And why does everything cost 5c less than the closest rounded euro value?

    I think you may be onto something here,maybe these sweaty pigs are subconsciously pointing out that, by banging the 5 cent off the dish

    It's an insult
    It's the fact they bothered to tip a copper.

    Much the same way the Americans may tip a 1cent coin.
    If you're a server and see a 1cent coin on the table you know they were very unhappy

    Stick your dick in the tip dish and see the looks you get.

    Seriously.
