If you go to a restaurant and only order a side item?

because your not hungry, is it acceptable to tip the waiter or waitress the 20 percent, or should you tip the price of the meal. Scenerio: Out to the bar with a few buddies to watch a football game. I had already eaten and wasn't hungry. Not wanting to be rude i ordered just a basket of fries costing 2.50. Should i tip the 2.50 or just do 20 percent. which would be more acceptable.

Note: friends were eating as well and they ordered and tipped regularly

Also, would it be rude to not order anything at all but still sit at the table?
 
There have been times when I just sat at the table, because my friends wanted to go somewhere I didnt.
