Lousy weather; it rained for 3 days straight, on and off. Same old, same old. Just as many dinks as usual, just different faces. But I've got a question for our brothers up north of us. Are all people from Montreal a**holes or just the ones that come to americade? The locals dislike them a great deal, due to lousy tipping, loud mouths and just plain being obnoxious.

I'm from Montreal. I hope that I don't fall under that catagory? I was at the Formula 1 race here this past weekend though so at least it wasn't me!!! :P

I don't understand the people who don't tip well. 15 to 20% at a bare minimum. The service industry pays crap and the people who work it count on their tips for their income. Very rarely have I met a person not deserving of a tip.

As for being rude and obnoxious, I understand that even less.

Yes, weather was very disappointing, but we were really spoiled last year. I probably would have been more bummed, but had gotten a lot of miles in the past few weeks. They did really well on rain gear...lol.

Now I feel better over missing it this year. Rain sure does put a damper on outside activities. Maybe we'll get lucky again next year like we did in 09.

I'm all for having a great time, but come on you don't have to be rude to wait staff and servers, that's BS.
