THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
Tipping is confusing. And I admit I'm lost on what should and should not deserve a tip. Help me out here. I took my family through the drive-thru at a fast-food restaurant. We ordered about $75 worth of food. It was a big order, so they asked us to pull up to the side door while they got it all together. No problem. We waited about 10 minutes, then they came out to the car with our food. I took it, rolled up the window, and drove off. Done. As I was pulling away, my wife and our 12-year-old daughter told me I was a jerk for not tipping. My daughter said she's so embarrassed because everyone at school will think we're cheap. I asked how much I should have tipped. My wife said $15. My daughter said $20. At a fast-food place. For a $75 order. Since when are we supposed to tip a fast-food worker for bringing us food and filling our order? When does it stop? I'm so confused, and kind of pissed.
Signed
Fast Food Fumble?

Scientists are warning that “blowing a fuse” when you’re angry could affect your blood vessels’ ability to relax, and increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. In a trial, 280 study participants were given tasks that made them remember feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety or neutrality. Only when feeling anger did the volunteers’ display an increase in markers for adverse vascular health. The impacts on blood vessels were seen for up to 40 minutes. The researchers, from Columbia University in New York, say that while that might not seem so bad, there could be a cumulative effect, leading to long-term health consequences. They suggest that since anger is a natural human emotion, the best approach might be to learn to process your feelings without letting them fester.

Lynne Spears hopped on a flight to LA after her daughter Britney’s tumultuous night at the Chateau Marmont that resulted in the pop star injuring her foot. Paparazzi caught up with the mom of 3 at LAX, as she was being picked up by her son, Bryan, who has had a relatively good relationship with his famous sister in recent years. An ambulance was called for Britney early Thursday after she allegedly got into a fight with her boyfriend, and she later blamed her mother for the drama.
“The Fall Guy” isn’t giving theaters the start to the summer box office it wanted, earning a domestic opening weekend of just $28.5 million, according to latest estimates. The only good news is that the film’s reception has been excellent, earning an A- from audiences on CinemaScore, and positive Rotten Tomatoes scores of 83% critics and 87% audience. The question now is whether that can generate enough word-of-mouth to help draw future audiences so it can turn a profit against its reported $130 million budget.
SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
If you’ve ever been cut off by someone driving a car with an obnoxiously loud muffler — and called the driver a ‘psycho’ — you just might have been right. Psychology professor Julie Aitken Schermer of Western University in London ON started to wonder exactly what type of person feels the need to drive a car with a modified muffler and beefed-up engine, so she decided to find out. She administered personality tests to 529 young people – mostly men — about noisy cars, muffler mods, and if driving one made them feel “cool.” Her ensuing report is called: “A desire for a loud car with a modified muffler is predicted by being a man and higher scores on psychopathy and sadism” . . . and you can pretty much guess what it tells us. In the professor’s words: “It was sadism and psychopathy predicting who wants to modify their mufflers, who feels more connected to their vehicle, and they think loud cars are really cool.” It also determined that “This callous disregard for other people’s feelings and their reactions (is their) psychopathy coming out and…they probably get a kick out of enjoying watching people get startled.” Although she points out that not all loud car lovers share psychopathic traits, “The personality profile…with loud mufflers are the same personality profile of people who illegally commit arson.”

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
It seems a guy, fresh out of prison, took a liking to a truck driver stopped at the Love’s in Wilcox, Arizona. Or maybe what he really liked was the load the driver was hauling. A truckload of brand new Chevrolet Corvettes, valued at over $1,250,000. Anyway, he struck up a conversation with the driver and ended up grabbing him and throwing him out of the cab. He then took off down the highway with his load of ‘Vettes. Needless to say, this attracted the attention of local law enforcement and it wasn’t long before they had him pulled over. It was then he offered up the best excuse of the week. He told the cops that he didn’t really care about the Corvettes, he just needed a truck to get home as he had just been released from prison. Sure. He’s headed right back, charged with multiple felony charges, including robbery, 11 counts of theft of means of transportation and felony theft.
