If you've been reading this blog, which we know you have been because you're obviously reading this now, you're without a doubt smarter than before you found our site. Last week alone we learned a many things which have escaped New Yorker's for years - when to tip your street meat vendor, and when to resist your caped crusader impulses.
However, as another week is in the books, it's time to reflect on the knowledge we've (with your help) bestowed upon you.
1.) Cabbies in New York are for the most part, terrible, awful drivers. I can't count as high as the number of times I've feared for my life while trying to ride a simple 30 blocks. The thought of 'why didn't I just swipe that little card and use the trusty subway system' routinely enters my mind as my face gets smashed against the Plexiglas, where the greasy face stains from the last schlep who got tossed around still lie. However, we've learned that we, in no way, should ever tip a cab driver when he gets in an accident - regardless of fault, or how well he sings. A whopping 66% of you chimed in on this, and a new rule was set. NO PAYING.
2.) Thursday was a big day for AmISupposedtoTipThatGuy. We launched a new feature which features well....you! Every Thursday, a reader-submitted poll will be uploaded proving that the American public does still have a voice! Andrew had E-mailed us a question which had been plaguing tourists for centuries, and after our closest vote ever, a solution was found! In a poll decided by only four votes (4!) it was chosen that, even if you're amazingly talented and can handle placing your own bags in the back of a car...you should leave it to the professional. That bellhop has a job, and damn he's good at it. Throw him a buck or two...it'll probably impress that lady (or guy) friend you're with. We're not saying you have to pull a Lloyd when walking out of your neighborhood Motel 6, but show the guy you approve of his bagging skills.
