So if you use your TI calculator...

to calculate what is 7 x 5, are you just lazy, dumb, or just a habit? Or how about the square root of 81? Or, for heavens sake, 9 divided by 1?

I probably have seen one person at a large group at dinner take out his calculator and started calculating the tax and tip. Is that weird? Normal? Or you just unable to calculate a quick approximation of how much you are willing to put in?

I think it's overly anal (assuming most people can figure out tip percentages in their heads). If you are stingy, at least hide it and make a guess!
