20. A Viking Funeral With Glitter In My Ashes

It's Really None of Our Business Podcast

How much do you tip for services? Monica and Amanda both agree that restaurant tipping is totally fine. What about all the other things we tip for like a coffee at Starbucks, or a Subway sandwich? Why do we have to tip when there is no service provided. How much are you expected to tip for services like laser hair removal and hair cuts? What about tipping for in home services? Wouldn't it be so much better if people just were paid what they were worth and there was no tipping. Some European countries have no tipping policies and they all seem to be happy, why can't we do this?

Monica also shares that she wants glitter in her ashes when she dies. Amanda thinks she is insane, but what else is new?

Wine:

Undurraga, Cabernet Sauvignon

Price: $13

Review: Not bad at all for a cheap wine, nice light wine, with a mild blackberry taste.

WTF:

AITA if I want to keep the heirloom wedding ring and not pass it down

I adore the ring because my first husband gave it to me after getting it from his mother. He died of cancer 4 years after we got married. I later remarried after some time and have been with my husband for a little under 20 years. I don't wear it on my finger anymore. I have it next to my first husband's ashes.

I never intended to give it up, but first husband's mother (who gave him the ring) mentioned it to my son that he should propose one day with the wedding ring. It's been passed down 3 generations. I understand why it's important for traditions sake, but the ring means more to me now than following the tradition.

My son didn't know about it being an heirloom ring and he has been dating a man for 6 years now. He hasn't asked for it directly but did start asking what I would do with the ring. It only started after his grandmother told him. I told him I'm being buried with it and he seemed disappointed. Word got back to his grandmother and she is angry at me for the choice. She called me and berated me about it

Monica and Amanda both agree that this person is definitely an asshole. Anyone who would rather be buried with an heirloom piece rather then to pass it down is an Asshole.
