How much do you generally tip at a restaurant if the service is "just OK?" Probably 15%. I normally tip 20-25%.

If you have a cleaning service, how much, if any, do you tip? (Trust me, having someone clean my house is my only luxury!) I've always heard 10-15% but it's optional. If in doubt, call the cleaning service and ask them. I'm sure their employees don't make much, but at the same time, I'm pretty sure that it's not like wait-staff who are paid next to nothing because their tips are supposed to make up for it. And I wouldn't tip the cleaning service unless they were doing a really good job.

If you're going somewhere new, do you freak out because you may not know where the restrooms are? Yes. Mainly because of unknown factors, like if it's going to be clean, or out of toilet paper, or non-functional locks.

If you're going somewhere in the car, do you immediately have to go to the bathroom? This often happens to me. I think it's because my body knows there's not a bathroom to be found! No, but sometimes I get trapped-in-moving-car-with-no-bathroom anxiety.

If someone sneaks up behind you and scares you, does your stomach do an instant IBS attack response? No. But sometimes I scream like a girl.

If you jog or walk quickly, does it trigger your IBS? exercise in generally usually sends me to the bathroom.

Has anyone found a good kitty litter that doesn't track across the floor? I have to clean my bathroom floor every day because of the cat tracks! Has anyone tried that natural stuff (I think it's made of corn or something)? yesterday I just filled one of the litterboxes with that stuff! There are several different types of "natural" litter -- I'm not sure what mine is, other than that it's supposed to have "refreshing pine scent" but is more like "refreshing pine air-freshener stuck in someone's dirty shoes". So far they're only using the litter box with the "normal" kitty litter, so no idea about the tracking yet.

See, I told you these were odd questions! Anyone?
