There is nothing to account for. I dont need/want "side" money as we have nothing to hide. I spend what I want when I want. She updates me on account info. Big purchases are discussed, but never anything under $1K.

Believe it or not...men like annoying their wives once in a while.

Some people will hate me for this, but fishing and hunting charters.
I guess if you are going to some big ranch and its just the help showing you around. But im talking smaller setups where you literally just paid the dude maybe thousands to go on a fishing charter. Why the frick does he need a tip after that?

Honestly I do it arbitrarily based on feel. I know it's supposed to do with whether they own the company/work for themselves or not, but I don't really follow that rule entirely.
The guys who installed my kids playset a week ago I tipped. They don't own the company.
The dude who brought the firetruck (that he owns) to my kid's party, I tipped.
The guys who worked on my HVAC yesterday I did not. They don't own the company.
The guys who detailed my wife's car I tipped, they do own the company.
Standard maintenance dudes working on a dishwasher or whatever, I don't tip them.

100% agree that a service should never be tipped when already paying for said service. It’s bullshite.

I tip the hotel cleaning ladies.
I have never tipped them.
My typical hotel stays are quick 2-4 nights. My rooms aren’t getting so “dirty” that require a cleaning person come through for me, much less every day. The trash is minimal and can be removed after I leave.
All I really need is fresh towels. Sorry, but I’m not tipping for towels.
I usually just leave the Do Not Disturb sign on when I leave the room.

Massages
I always try to give a tip, but they say no.
Are you getting massages in Narnia?

If we're all being honest here we really shouldn't tip on a service being performed by someone that controls the price of said service. Waiters do not control the price so I think they should be the exception.
If you quote me $50 to cut my hair, that should be the price. If you quote me $30 to mow my front yard, that should be the price.
Tipping culture has gotten so out of control. It won't change, but it's certainly gotten to a nonsensical level these days.

I tip my haircut lady well…
Next time I go back, I definitely don’t want her pissed at me and feeling shortchanged (even if irrationally). That’s definitely money well spent
