How much do you tip?

I'm usually fairly sloshed at the end of my meal so I just double the tax. Puts me right around 20%

I usually leave 18-20% - double the tax, plus or minus, depending on service. I never tip on post tax bill.

here we go.
10% across the board because I did it for 7 years so I know how overpaid thee suckers are.

20% for every meal

15% is my minimum, then I add on based on the level of service.

If it is a cheap meal, I feel like 15%-20% is unfair, so I'll just throw a few bucks down.

usually around 20%

i usually do 20%, but will go up or down depending on the level of service. I'm not timid about rewarding OR punishing, based on service.

agreed. some sit-down, table service places that I frequent have great lunch specials under 10 bucks. I feel bad leaving just 2$, so i usually thrown in a bit extra.

I've been a server, so it's 20%+...in cash.

If the service really really really sucks, I'll leave 15% but won't return.

20-30% depending on the service.

Nothing if the service sucked.

is it just me, or is it rude to ask other people how they spend their own money

You have the option here of not answering the question which was directed to no particular person. This is a Food and Drink board on which restaurants are discussed as well as cooking at home, etc... The question is relevant in my opinion.
