[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP will hate me.

I was a military brat and we moved to a new base every three years. The bases were mostly in Central Europe, so that was fun, but the actual housing was nothing fancy *at all* as any military family can attest. My family was, and still is, solidly upper lower middle class.

When people ask me where I'm from, I just say "I grew up in Europe," which is 100% true, and seem much more glamorous than I actually am. [/quote]

I'd immediately think you probably are accustomed to not showering or bathing, probably a horrible tipper or a non tipper, and you probably are super cheap. As I've been told by a hotel maid who has had to clean up after people. Europeans and a certain ethnic group were the worst. Each one lived up to it's stereotype.[/quote]

DP who is also grew up in Europe (not military though). I love my European tradition of not giving a tip. I feel offended that Americans dont' respect my tradition. [/quote]

I agree that the tipping in America is out of control. Businesses are cheap here and don't pay wages to food or hospitality workers as they should. It's a problem.[/quote]
