I tip 15-20%, 25% if the service is exceptional and 10% if it sucks. Occasionally I'll also write on the back of the bill if it really, really sucks.
Don't be a d-bag, tip your server. "Oooh society wants me to tip - society don't tell daddy what to do!" Get over yourself, you're not instigating some social revolution, you're eating a meal. Regardless of the reasons for the custom, these people rely on tips to live, and you're just being a gigantic d*ck if you put your wallet away out of so-called "principle".
