Stingiest thing you've seen someone do

[Aunty Dana**]

#1 - At the Calgary Stampede a few years ago, there were places handing out free breakfasts downtown. I was waiting in line at one of them, and the deal was you get breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, etc.) for FREE, but coffee is 50 cents, and across the street there was a similar place doing the same thing, but their coffee was free....

Well, the place with the free coffee had a line-up that must have been 300+ people long. I'm talking a minimum 2 hour wait...and the line-up I was in had like 15-20 people in it. Anyways, this asian lady yells across the street to her husband and waves him over to get in the short line and he yells back, and I shit you not, "But this one as FREE coffee!!!!". LOL buddy would rather stand there like a dildo for hours than pitch a couple of quarters in a cup.

#2 - In the 90s, when I was a teenager, I worked at blockbuster video. This was back when they used to guarantee new releases would be there or you got them for free next time you were in. Well, this dude walks in on a friday night and we are busy as shit, and does a lap of the store. He then waits in line for like 15 minutes and gets up to the till and asks me if we have all three of the guaranteed new releases in stock, I tell him to hold on one second and I take a look. After digging through the pile of returns, I pull out all three of them. I bring them up to the till and prepare to check them out to him. He looks at me and says "Nevermind. I only wanted them if they were free." and leaves. What a fucking jack-off.

In high school I had a friend who drove past a store to his home which was about three miles away in order to get some change to buy a Swisher Sweet...because he did not want to break the $1 bill in his pocket.

Today I learned that a lot of sherbros consider stealing as "stingy."

 

[Rmbr2Breathe]

-Making chicken broth with the bones of fried chicken from KFC.

-As a child having one of my aunties rip up most of the chicken meat from a drumstick and giving me what little remained(at least I got the bone), while feeding the rest to my cousin(her son) and their dog.

-Asking for condiments and never using them at that time. Rather saving them in large quantities to re-purpose into a large container to be used at home.

-When pumping gas, lifting up the hose to get as much gas as possible. To the last drop.

-Cutting off stamps on letters and dunking them into rubbing alcohol to remove the stamped markings and reusing those stamps on your own letters that you have to send out.

-When there's no glue left just find some rice and make it all pasty and apply.

-Buy concentrated liquid dish soap and fill that soap up just a quarter of the way in the dispenser and top it off with water.

-When someone is pumping air in their tires park your car right behind them, get out and remove the caps. When the person is done ask for the hose and hurry as fast as you possibly can to fill up all your tires with their air before the machine stops.

Holy shit, OP. That's pretty fuckin bad.

I can't think of one single moment off the top of my head right now but I've seen some stingy shit so if I can recall anything, I'll add it.

I have a friend who is pretty cheap though. Every time we go out or something he's always trying to get me to buy him drinks, he always smokes my bud, if a group of us goes to the movies: someone always has to buy his ticket.

Usually I don't care about this shit with my friends. Most of the time if one of my good friends or I can't afford something, we'll get each other back later. (For example "Yeah, I'll get the beer this time. You just get it next time or some time after. No biggie.")

But this dude seriously NEVER gets anyone back. BUT...dude has been one of my best friend's since we were kids, we have the same interests, I love him like a brother and not to mention-- he's a hell of a wingman.

So it does annoy me from time to time but I usually just let it slide. He never really asks for much anyways like borrowing large sums of cash or anything. So it's not all that bad but yeah, definitely can get aggravating after a while.

 

[Answer42]

Great read.

I had a friend that used to punch out punch cards he would get. Car washes, video stores etc.

My grandmother lived through the great depression so she was always saving up everything and finding multiple uses.

I work for a print and graphic design shop and the customers complain about 7 cent copies. When they think a print job costs too much they will take the sample we make from scratch and take it else where for a cent or two less. How much are they actually saving? It got to the point where some individuals would have copy jobs done, refuse to pay, and take it out of our garbage. We had to start keeping the garbage inside.

I work at an ink cartridge refill place and I get so many customers that use their latest touch screen phone to show me what printer they have and then make a big deal about a $10 ink refill. I just sit down and go back to sherdog to complain about them afterward and ignore them while they stare at me.

Dude!!!! LOL
As I'm sitting here at work reading this story, I'm literally stabbing myself with a mechanical pencil just to make sure I don't start rolling on the floor and laugh my ass off.
That was hella funny!

 

[AznTrojan]

my buddy is a pharmacist and pulls in about 130k a year... we were at a club once.. and he wouldn't pay 5 bucks to have a his coat checked so he ended up kicking it in the club like a sweaty cheap fuck

 

[Bolshevik***]

Everyone has a friend or knows someone like this.

I hate people that try and dodge rounds when you are at the pub, always going away to the toilet or disappearing when it is their round. Or even worse when they just sit there and everyone is just waiting with empty glasses for them to go to the bar.. eventually you are like ehhh it's your round mate:icon_chee

Or when you are out for dinner with a big group and everyone has roughly the same amount of food/alcohol. You always get one guy who wants to count up exactly how much his stuff cost. Unless someone was ordering the most expensive stuff on the menu just fucking split the bill.

My favourite one though is when you are out for drinks and decide to just start a kitty. Everyone puts

Flush when u pee

Agreed,

Saving 2.1 cents and having a stinky bathroom that now needs more air freshner is not a smart way to save money.
Plus its just fucking nasty,

Got water restrictions sure do it then, but not flushing to save money is roughly as worthwhile as re-using bandaids.



FYI,
2.1 cents based on Sydney water prices and a 10 litre flush (which is way more than average)

I used to serve at fridays and had a few lousy tippers. usually minorities (black and indians). before anyone calls me racist, i'm indian myself. my dad is a lousy tipper and ive corrected him plenty of time. as far as white people go, ive actually noticed that poorer white people tip better than really rich white people. no idea why, just something ive noticed.

in college people would steal the ketchup bottles from the food courts all the time. i couldn't blame them though, college students are poor. i never did that, but when i went over to their places, i didn't hesitate to use their ketchup.

what i see often now is people who ask for water but go and fill it up with pop. also people who steel the hot sauce at chipotle all the time. and these are usually people with jobs who don't look poor at all as i am usually at chipotle only during my lunch.
