Tip the cable guy? How about you fucking tip your mom!!! It's like you're trying to find more ways to give away money.

Though, I would say tipping the garbage men goes a long way... It's really awesome when they take extra care to leave your stuff nice.

But, the cable guy is great for getting high-quality RG-6 (not stupid RG-59) cables for every length you need in the house.. Need splitters? He'll give them to ya.. Need component cables? They're usually free too.. They're an AV gold mine..

My cable guy gave me 300ft of cable once just so I could test if my cable supplying my house was damaged..

Here's what will happen:

-They'll put the $100 in their pocket.
-They'll give you the free preview of premium channels
-They'll laugh all the way home knowing that in a month those channels will get shut off and you can't do a damn thing about it.
