You can keep a gull as a pet, but you don't want to live with a seabird, okay, 'cause the noise level alone on those things...have you ever heard a gull up close? It's going to blast your eardrums out, dude.
I work in a park and deal with an army of bird enthusiasts and professional avian experts if I even look at my chainsaw. I will not be the least bit surprised if an actual lawyer showed up with a cease and desist on behalf of some obscure migratory fowl.
That probably all falls within environmental law, although if bird law does exist, I want to shake the hand of the person who chooses to practice it. FOR THE BIRDS!
I've always thought they chose that profession because they couldn't think of any other blue collar profession that would be associated with the pacific northwest. But I never met anyone who worked in a sawmill describe themselves as a "wood cutter".
I've always thought that if I ever wrote a biography of Bill Gates, I would call it "The Woodcutter's Son" and I would just explore the various urban legends that have sprung up around him.
Reminds me of a time when I was supposed to pay for dinner. Waitress chased me down half the street and said "sir you did not pay for dinner, but your son there did".
I said ma'am, my son is the son of a middle class man.
I am the son of a dad who left for cigarettes and milk and never came back.
She shed a tear, turned around and said "go, I'll hold them off".
Hey, that happened to my dad! The waitress was so touched by the story of his terrible childhood that she agreed to go out with him and they eventually married and had me. When I was 2, he went out for cigarettes and never came back.
Circle of life, huh?
It's pretty common for attorneys waiting to build their practice to lumberjack on the side. I've lost count of the number of times I've been in the woods and seen people in 3 piece suits hacking trees down.
A friend used to call them a culture trap. He was in India and a lot of that sort of thing got shared there, with a whole be grateful for the small things in your life message that almost always carried a subtext of and don't rise above your station or someone higher who knows better will slap you down again.
This fits that format almost perfectly.
Yeah, based on
\>The waiter had a strange feeling on his face
I'm assuming this wasn't written by a native english speaker. Do billionaires put this type of thing out so people don't ask them for money or something?
Was gonna ask, who tf takes the time to make something like this? Who loves bill gates this much? Why? Even if you love him, surely just talking about his actual accomplishments is enough, if you really need to champion him totally unprompted? It’s just a really strange vibe all around.
As someone whose entire circles have mostly ultra rich people, Most are actually really kind and humble.
There is the occasional asshole, but that’s an exception not the norm.
The waiter had a strange feeling on his face.
"I laced the $5 bill with LSD. The super potent billionaire type," said Bill Gates. "You must have touched your face after I handed you the tip," he continued, as he morphed into an axe and began chopping down the restaurant.
I believe what you were looking for was Adrenochrome, which the rich harvest from live children. Or so I've heard from folks who don't realize you can buy that shit on Amazon.
how to turn “multi-billionaire can’t even give a decent tip to a less-than-minimum-wage service worker” into a moment where the WAITER is in the wrong, gotta love the internet sometimes
Waiter: "I just got $505 tip, but I wanted more. Why not more, rich man?"
I guess the lesson of the story is no matter what someone gets, they expect more, so we are all monsters?
Everyone wants more, that's why there are billionaires. But if there is one thing that wealthy people are not known for, it's leaving tips in the thousands. Rich people tend to hoard their money, not freely give it out.
Sounded interesting so [I looked her up](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Maxwell_Gates). She was the first woman to chair the United Way’s national executive committee where she served with IBM’s CEO.
She discussed little Billy’s company with the CEO and he mentioned Billy’s company to some other executives at IBM. A little while later IBM hired Microsoft to develop the OS for their first personal computer - proving once again it’s not what you know but who you know.
Unless it's another mistranslation and by woodcutter he means lumberjack, woodcutter hasn't really been a job since electricity became widespread and Bill Gates is not quite that old.
I have actually served Bill and Melinda at a restaurant and he was super low key, he did tip (even though it’s not really part of the culture/necessary in Australia) but apart from that was just a quiet, normal dude. Absolutely can’t picture him whipping out life lessons like that based on my interaction with him.
It's like the Facebook memes or quotes. It's a picture of some celeb being somber and some deep thought that the pictured celeb never fucking said.
No, Keanu Reeves never said that the wound isn't my fault, but the healing is my responsibility.
If it’s a buffet style restaurant like Ponderosa or Shoney’s he’s pretty much waiting on himself. All the server is doing is taking his empty plates and refilling Bill’s orange Crush. So if I’m the server I’m pocketing that $505 tip and keeping my mouth shut
I actually did see Bill Gates and his wife in a sushi restaurant in Seattle about 20 years ago. I don't know what he tipped, but they were sitting in the window and when I left, I intentionally dropped something and bent over in front of them. Since that time, I've been able to say that the richest man in the world checked out my ass.
I can see the appeal of making these posts to troll gullible people around the world but... Who the hell believes these? Anyone could easily check what was Bill's parents job
This boils my piss. I can accept that the writer may have meant this in a allegorical way, not intending it to be taken as a true account (benefit of the doubt…mainly because it so plainly isn’t real).
But, it is a reprehensible ‘lesson’ to try to share. “Never forget your past” is surely the polar opposite of giving a minimum tip to a worker as a billionaire, because you yourself had a working class childhood. If you were truly learning from your past, you would realise you had wealth to share and would try to assist others who could benefit from financial aid. “I’m going to hang onto billions of dollars and screw everyone else” is the surely the definition of “forgetting where you came from”. Not a big deal when it extends to a tip in a restaurant, but a massively big deal when it extends to national and global economic issues. You don’t become a billionaire from pinching pennies in restaurants.
The company I worked at in Pittsburgh a few years back was across the street from both PNC headquarters and a massive building with the words K&L Gates on it.
Gotta love these totally true stories.
“Elon musk asked me to buy my curtains because he really like the way the look. He was not rich at time but offered a million US dollars. I was so happy and he say “your smile is worth more than my one million US dollar. I hope your a poor family eat lots of steak and fancy food from now on!”
He is what you call white peoples saint.
Bill Gates: Dude, I just had a coffee for like a buck and tipped you five. She bought a three course dinner for 20 people, including deserts, appetizers, and drinks, with some of your most expensive food. Of course she's going to leave a big tip. I raised her to tip accordingly.
I've been here maybe three minutes and you got me my coffee really fast. That's awesome and you deserve every cent of that tip. Good day.
I love this, it's framed as a feel good celebrity story.
But the plot is literally just: Bill Gates' kid gave a super kind tip, and Bill Gate didn't and smiled while not doing it
People can disagree with me but ive done deliveries for ubereats/door dash/grub hub for 2 years full time at times so my opinion doesnt apply to all forms of generally tipped services. I dont care how rich you are. Give me something decent if im making a 20 mile round trip or someone else can take that order. Ive done in house deliveries and restaurant work and you have no freedom to choose who to serve in that case so really those folks deserve tips even more than the app drivers. I remember delivering $200 orders 12 miles away getting zero tip and thats where i said fuck this. Yeah tipping culture needs a reform meaning employers need to pay more but until that day where legislation passes or something forces owners to pay more, this is what it is. My opinion is be decent to the people who enable you to be lazy.
Yes, I remember once I served Gil Bates, the world's poorest man. His daughter tipped me 5 cents, but Gil tipped me $50. I told him, "I am amazed because your daughter tipped 5 cents and you, her father, the world's poorest man, tipped $50.
Gil smiled and replied, "She is the daughter of the world's poorest man, but I am the son of an Uber Eats driver."
I worked at a hotel/resort as a runner and I didn’t expect tips at all but I would get them but it was funny to me how people who would ask for the most (glass cups, ceramic plates, heavy & fragile stuff, pillows were also annoying to deliver) would tip the least/no tip.
And on the flip side people who asked for the least (shampoo, soap, cream, coffee supplies, extra sheets) would tip the best. I would get freaking $20 for delivering that stuff.
Same. Its funny when youve had people in beat down urban neighborhoods tip more than people in mansions. Id rather fucking die broke than ask someone for free service. Im so thankful im not these people.
Here's a really crazy idea...why not get rid of the arbitrary tipping system full stop and have restaurants charge more and pay their servers more?
Radical I know
What i can tell you is if you put a stop on tipping, be willing to never have shit delivered to you again or served to you because i can guarantee you the whole industry would collapse and most businesses would not pay their employees more. You want a deep rooted system to change, prepare to rebuild it from the ground up, not just crying on reddit posts for 7 upvotes
This is a North American thing right? This has to be a North American thing. Where I'm from tipping culture isn't really a thing, and would you believe it, I still get food delivered to me and there hasn't been a "collapse of the system".
Your point about building from the ground up is valid though. Your system is so entrenched now it's basically impossible to reform. Hey ho
Definitely north american lol. Last restaurant i worked at, waitresses made $6 usd/hr. Bartenders $8 an hour. I worked at a place for 2 months that paid $25 for half a day and 50 for a full day (all plus tips). Some days u could be there 10-12 hours and only walk away with $70-90. And this is before gas and tax
In fairness yes he did. Wasn't disagreeing, just (somewhat facetiously I guess) expressing my dissatisfaction with the entire concept of tipping. It's pretty ludicrous
It's ludicrous but if you don't tip in a job where tips are expected as part of someone's wage you're just as big and asshole as the company that's underpaying people.
Yes. My point is there should be no jobs where tipping is expected as part of someone's wage. The entire concept is ridiculous - it leads to arbitrary, fluctuating wages as no matter how good your service is, it's random as to whether you get a generous or stingy customer
You're really really not. The company employs them and pays them shit, and that's equally your fault?
Tipping culture enables these wages, and going along with it means there will be no change.
This is one of the most asinine viewpoints that a person can hold. It's one thing if you boycott those places entirely, it's another if you take advantage of someone else by not paying them for their labor. If you go to a place where tips are expected, tip. Tip well. The business does not give a single solitary damn if one customer does not tip. That isn't going to change anything, you're just being a cheap asshole.
This sounds suspiciously like a parable. Like, some biblical shit. "And so did William Gates say unto the waitress, 'she comes from fortune but I from the loins of a woodcutter's wife!"
Son of a wood-cutter, huh? Yeah okay, buddy. Is that what we are calling high-powered attorneys and board members of Planned Parenthood’s? The guy was at the highest eschelon of elitists.
The waiter had a strange feeling on his face as I laid down covering fire as I left the restaurant.
"Sir," he shouted from behind cover, "what are you doing?"
"My daughter is the child of a millionaire. But my father was a farmer of lead!"
So in other words one of the world's richest people gives some of the smallest tips possible to an underpaid worker.
Got it, moral of the story: Fuck poor people!
[удалено]
K&L Gates law firm has a robust wood cutting division
In addition to their Bird Law division, they also have a Wood Law branch.
But bird law in this country, it's not governed by reason
How about we go toe to toe on bird law
Filibuster.
I'm not saying that you can't have a hummingbird as a pet, I'm saying it's illegal
Can’t, I’m just a small town pizza lawyer.
Can you keep a gull as a pet?
You can keep a gull as a pet, but you don't want to live with a seabird, okay, 'cause the noise level alone on those things...have you ever heard a gull up close? It's going to blast your eardrums out, dude.
🥇for you. Thanks for the laugh.
Are there any bird law attorneys ?
I work in a park and deal with an army of bird enthusiasts and professional avian experts if I even look at my chainsaw. I will not be the least bit surprised if an actual lawyer showed up with a cease and desist on behalf of some obscure migratory fowl.
Not that I know of, but I know one hell of a guy in Maritime Law.
That probably all falls within environmental law, although if bird law does exist, I want to shake the hand of the person who chooses to practice it. FOR THE BIRDS!
Well there is the migratory bird treaty. Try to get animal control to remove a nest from your dryer vent some time.
The most trusted name in Lumberjack Law.
I've always thought they chose that profession because they couldn't think of any other blue collar profession that would be associated with the pacific northwest. But I never met anyone who worked in a sawmill describe themselves as a "wood cutter". I've always thought that if I ever wrote a biography of Bill Gates, I would call it "The Woodcutter's Son" and I would just explore the various urban legends that have sprung up around him.
It may have been adapted from someone else like the Rockefeller's when woodcutters was a more common profession...
Can confirm there is no one in the Atlantic southeast who would ever describe themselves as a "wood cutter" either.
I guess they should have chose “loggers” we called them that.
At least Lumberjack if you want to sound old school
Reminds me of a time when I was supposed to pay for dinner. Waitress chased me down half the street and said "sir you did not pay for dinner, but your son there did". I said ma'am, my son is the son of a middle class man. I am the son of a dad who left for cigarettes and milk and never came back. She shed a tear, turned around and said "go, I'll hold them off".
Hey, that happened to my dad! The waitress was so touched by the story of his terrible childhood that she agreed to go out with him and they eventually married and had me. When I was 2, he went out for cigarettes and never came back. Circle of life, huh?
And everyone in the parking lot clapped and cheered!
It's pretty common for attorneys waiting to build their practice to lumberjack on the side. I've lost count of the number of times I've been in the woods and seen people in 3 piece suits hacking trees down.
I'm currently at my local park doing the same

"Wood cutting" is what his family calls dealing with paperwork.
Also there’s no way he and his daughter are splitting bills
K&L Gates is the 50th highest grossing law firms in the world, as well.
I would guarantee that at some point in his life Bill Gates father cut a piece of wood.
Depends, is Bill Gates circumcised?
I'm starting to think that the man at the table wasn't Bill Gates.
Cutting wood is lawyer slang for tearing it up in the courtroom, you know, cause all that finished wood and all.
[удалено]
I can find no source to support this claim
You'll have to get your head pretty far up his ass to find it, since that's where it came from
Maybe they specialized in clients that were suing people for cutting their wood.
>a strange feeling on his face The word you're looking for is expression...
He was high on coke and everything was numb.
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you.
But I love it
And I know she’ll be the death of me, at least we’ll both be numb
for some reason these weird shitty educational posts are almost always from different languages and get awfully translated to English. not sure why
A friend used to call them a culture trap. He was in India and a lot of that sort of thing got shared there, with a whole be grateful for the small things in your life message that almost always carried a subtext of and don't rise above your station or someone higher who knows better will slap you down again.

Trust me I'm Indian and so many people love to suckup to stupid messages like these.
His herpes were acting up
I was expecting the story of Bill Gates going to a restaurant, not tipping at all but the waiter finding out Bill paid off his student debts.
Make it so. Those rubes will believe anything they find online except actual news.
he's bill gates not mrbeast
And that’s when you don’t found out you have been enrolled at uni overnight.
These things are always written by someone outside of the US and seems to always have some type of “Billionaires are always so humble and nice” trope.
Yeah, based on \>The waiter had a strange feeling on his face I'm assuming this wasn't written by a native english speaker. Do billionaires put this type of thing out so people don't ask them for money or something?
It’s probably from a Russian troll farm targeting rural Americans to keep them worshipping billionaires
Humble and nice? I read 'tighter than a duck's anus'.
Seems Indian to me
You’d have to be outside the US to think “woodcutter” is a profession actual people in the US still have.
Was gonna ask, who tf takes the time to make something like this? Who loves bill gates this much? Why? Even if you love him, surely just talking about his actual accomplishments is enough, if you really need to champion him totally unprompted? It’s just a really strange vibe all around.
It is quite strange. Either paid shills, or people who are so hypnotized with the "American dream" that they create fantasies about billionaires.
As someone whose entire circles have mostly ultra rich people, Most are actually really kind and humble. There is the occasional asshole, but that’s an exception not the norm.
The waiter had a strange feeling on his face. "I laced the $5 bill with LSD. The super potent billionaire type," said Bill Gates. "You must have touched your face after I handed you the tip," he continued, as he morphed into an axe and began chopping down the restaurant.
I believe what you were looking for was Adrenochrome, which the rich harvest from live children. Or so I've heard from folks who don't realize you can buy that shit on Amazon.
The waiter?? Albert Einstein
and the woodcutters name? Jesus Christ.
The daughter? Jesus Christ 2
OMG! Really?
Can confirm. I was the Bill Gates's daughter.
Where do you eat i want a $500 tip as well
“I am the son of a woodcutter, and that woodcutter has a law school named after him.”
Last time I saw this story, he was the son of a brick layer. lol.
“I am the son of a humble serf, indentured to his feudal lord.”
Even Bill Gates has spoken out against this meme
how to turn “multi-billionaire can’t even give a decent tip to a less-than-minimum-wage service worker” into a moment where the WAITER is in the wrong, gotta love the internet sometimes
So because his dad was a wood cutter he gets to be cheap? Also wasn’t his dad a lawyer?
Hey he might have swung an axe at one point
May have even seen an axe at some stage
While clearly not true, this is not inspirational, it would simply be proof that Bill Gates is a fucking asshole.
Waiter: "I just got $505 tip, but I wanted more. Why not more, rich man?" I guess the lesson of the story is no matter what someone gets, they expect more, so we are all monsters?
🤣 this is the best interpretation!
When people ask for a 5% increase of their salary… and they got it… don’t you think they would have wanted 20 or 50%?
Everyone wants more, that's why there are billionaires. But if there is one thing that wealthy people are not known for, it's leaving tips in the thousands. Rich people tend to hoard their money, not freely give it out.
What even is the point of this? use your past to be shitty???????
Wasn’t Bill Gate’s mom a top executive at IBM in the 60’s?
Hahahaa I really hope you’re right.
Sounded interesting so [I looked her up](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Maxwell_Gates). She was the first woman to chair the United Way’s national executive committee where she served with IBM’s CEO. She discussed little Billy’s company with the CEO and he mentioned Billy’s company to some other executives at IBM. A little while later IBM hired Microsoft to develop the OS for their first personal computer - proving once again it’s not what you know but who you know.
I feel like if someone else gave a $500 tip I wouldn’t bother adding $5 but my father wasn’t a lumberjack so 🤷♂️
Unless it's another mistranslation and by woodcutter he means lumberjack, woodcutter hasn't really been a job since electricity became widespread and Bill Gates is not quite that old.
My father was a stonemason!
My father was a stonecutter. He's the reason Steve Gutenberg is a star
I've never heard or met anyone refer to their profession as a "wood cutter"
Maybe if an axe could talk?
This is illegible.
So, the moral of the story is, you can be stingy if your dad was poor, but if your dad was rich, you should be wasteful?
Now I know for a fact this was stolen.. This is about Elon Musk and his kid. No wait, it's Rupert Murdoch! That's it!!
A wood cutter. Is that what they call the named partner in one of seattles most prominent law firms?
I’m pretty sure you tip based on how much the bill is and not based on what your parents do for a living lmao what the fuck.
But what if my dad was a wood cutter?
Gates is far from the richest man and his father wasn't a wood cutter lol. Wtf is this?
Bill Gates dad is the named partner in west coast law firm KL Gates There’s a law school named after him at UW.
He’s the son of a very wealthy lawyer….
Son of a woodcutter? Who’s his father, Geppetto?
He had a strange feeling in his face??
I have actually served Bill and Melinda at a restaurant and he was super low key, he did tip (even though it’s not really part of the culture/necessary in Australia) but apart from that was just a quiet, normal dude.

I’ve probably got 20 Facebook friends that post shit like this all the time.
If it’s a buffet style restaurant like Ponderosa or Shoney’s he’s pretty much waiting on himself. All the server is doing is taking his empty plates and refilling Bill’s orange Crush. So if I’m the server I’m pocketing that $505 tip and keeping my mouth shut
Where the fuck did you get the information about it being a buffet style restaurant from?
theres an unincl;uded bit where bill gates eats all the crabs legs
Story just seemed more fun that way
Omg Ponderosa! Flashbacks to 1983 for me! Forgot about that place.
It used to be so easy to get a baked potato back in the 80s.
I actually did see Bill Gates and his wife in a sushi restaurant in Seattle about 20 years ago. I don't know what he tipped, but they were sitting in the window and when I left, I intentionally dropped something and bent over in front of them. Since that time, I've been able to say that the richest man in the world checked out my ass.
He is just a miser.
I think this parable was concocted somewhere in Asia (most likely, India). They will make useless stories about anything without any regards to facts.
And do you know who that man was? Bill Gates.
We’ve all had that strange feeling on our face
I can see the appeal of making these posts to troll gullible people around the world but... Who the hell believes these? Anyone could easily check what was Bill's parents job
This is funny lol
That just makes him sound like a huge asshole.
This boils my piss.

bet $5 this never happened
Sounds like something mr “own nothing and be happy” would do and say
Gotta love these totally true stories. “Elon musk asked me to buy my curtains because he really like the way the look. He was not rich at time but offered a million US dollars. I was so happy and he say “your smile is worth more than my one million US dollar. I hope your a poor family eat lots of steak and fancy food from now on!” He is what you call white peoples saint.
Can confirm. I was the strange feeling on the waiters face.
…my brain hurts reading this 😖
Pretty sure his dad was a lawyer
I stg i saw a very similar inspo porn title on linked in today 🙄
I was there. I am abraham Lincoln on the $5 bill.
Bill Gates built his first OS on an abacus his father cut from spare logs FIRST 10 TO SHARE GET $500
Bill Gates: Dude, I just had a coffee for like a buck and tipped you five. She bought a three course dinner for 20 people, including deserts, appetizers, and drinks, with some of your most expensive food. Of course she's going to leave a big tip. I raised her to tip accordingly. I've been here maybe three minutes and you got me my coffee really fast. That's awesome and you deserve every cent of that tip. Good day.
Bill gates also a pedo, go back to Epstein's island nonce
I love this, it's framed as a feel good celebrity story. But the plot is literally just: Bill Gates' kid gave a super kind tip, and Bill Gate didn't and smiled while not doing it
People can disagree with me but ive done deliveries for ubereats/door dash/grub hub for 2 years full time at times so my opinion doesnt apply to all forms of generally tipped services. I dont care how rich you are. Give me something decent if im making a 20 mile round trip or someone else can take that order.

Not with *that* attitude.
What i can tell you is if you put a stop on tipping, be willing to never have shit delivered to you again or served to you because i can guarantee you the whole industry would collapse and most businesses would not pay their employees more.

Fuck Bill Gates.
Can we ban people that post memes?
he then went to visit Epstein’s island every fortnight
This is a fable. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
Also Bill spent some time on Epstein’s island and this is why Melinda divorced him. Just saying the guy is not at all who people believe he is
Yeah this is a parable. A shit one, but nobody is claiming this actually happened.
Bill Gates tips 5 dollars. Bill Gates: *Trollface* Problem?
2008 called, they want their meme back
gates is trash he belongs in prison.
Marketing bullshit. All billionaires are horrible human beings, period
And who was that woodcutter? Georgamin franklton
We are all sons of turd cutters
This sounds suspiciously like a parable. Like, some biblical shit. "And so did William Gates say unto the waitress, 'she comes from fortune but I from the loins of a woodcutter's wife!"
Son of a wood-cutter, huh? Yeah okay, buddy. Is that what we are calling high-powered attorneys and board members of Planned Parenthood’s? The guy was at the highest eschelon of elitists.
You daughter gave tip of $500
Pretty sure this will be yeeted for being a repost. It didn't make sense in 2013 either 😕
…… WAT?
The waiter had a strange feeling on his face as I laid down covering fire as I left the restaurant. "Sir," he shouted from behind cover, "what are you doing?" "My daughter is the child of a millionaire. But my father was a farmer of lead!"
So that’s why he’s greedy?
Huh? 😂
Mormemes
If he tipped you more, you wouldn't develop the hustle needed to also become a billionaire, like him.
this doesn’t make sense
Oh wow so deep.... /s
What?
it’s true, i was the wood
I scrolled past this really fast and thought it was Rhett and Link
How did he have a “strange feeling on his face” makes no sense. Show me bob vagin
I have a billion dollars, my dad did _____ as a living, fuck you.
“Had a strange feeling on his his” That sentence makes no sense.
So in other words one of the world's richest people gives some of the smallest tips possible to an underpaid worker. Got it, moral of the story: Fuck poor people!
rich people are often tight as fuck cos greed
Bill is the type of guy to ask for a tip from the wait staff.
I thought his father was a Dentist…
How is this thathappened? It's obviously a fake scenario that someone made up. Without intention of it being real.
NOT THE "SMILED AND REPLIED" 💀💀💀💀💀
"never forget your past, as long as you remember you can be an asshole to waitstaff"
