In this episode of Unapologetically Us The Podcast, David and Jenn dive headfirst into the everyday annoyances we are all quietly judging but rarely say out loud.

It starts with a breakfast fail and quickly turns into a full-blown conversation about tipping culture, rounding up donations at checkout, and why everyone suddenly wants a tip even when all they did was hand you a box. We break down when we will tip, when we will not, and why transparency matters when stores ask you to round up your purchase for charity.

From there, we get into the surprisingly freeing concept of saying no without explaining yourself. We talk about why no really is a complete sentence, how over-explaining became the norm, and why setting boundaries makes people uncomfortable.

We also touch on the growing fatigue around tipping prompts everywhere, FaceTime etiquette and why not every moment needs to be on video, living in cold climates versus Florida life, and 90s and early-2000s nostalgia. That includes American Gladiators, Rescue 911, Unsolved Mysteries, Saturday morning cartoons, and the shows we had to watch growing up.

If you have ever questioned tipping expectations, felt pressured to donate at checkout, or struggled with saying no without guilt, this episode will feel uncomfortably relatable.

Listen, laugh, and let us know what you think. Do you round up at checkout, when do you tip, and is FaceTime ever really necessary?
