Have you ever been in a restaurant when a waiter drops a bunch of plates
And everybody applauds? Does that happen everywhere or only in Miami? How did that get started? How did that become such a natural reaction?

4. I've seen/heard it all over the country
I think it's rather rude. Best to just let the person suffer anonymously and without fanfare, in my opinion.

6. Applaud? Never.
EPost (backed up by MStewart, who I think we all agree really knows) will tell you it's appropriate only to snap your fingers in an appreciative manner.
