Stingiest thing you've seen stingy people do

Lollipops23

I actually think any girl who doesn't pay her way from the off is a stingy cow.
It's one thing paying the whole bill on a birthday/graduation/ some sort of celebration, but for your run of the mill cinema trips and drinks it's insane to expect the man to pay every time.
I remember how surprised my OH was when I jumped up to get the 2nd round on our first date. It's a sad state of affairs when that happens.

Some girls are total princesses and are too precious to spend their own money.

That's the most pathetic excuse a true stinge will offer. "Can I have a euro off you, because I dont want to break this €20 or €50?" Are they planning on ever breaking the flucking thing? I know a lad from Kerry who uses this refrain a bit too often.

I do hate using €50's in shops first thing in the morning. There's been many times I've been in my favorite coffee shop getting a coffee and asked if they have change of a €50 that the atm gave me or should I use my laser card to pay to avoid emptying their till of change.

I normally head with a friend from work and we'll always help each other out with change to avoid emptying their till. But it is different, it's only minor change, we both do it and it's not for the sake of saving money.

I've been asked when change from the seller Would have been no issue whatsoever - busy pubs, large supetmarkets, etc. It seems co incidental that in my experience, the people who "dont want to break" their note, are also complete stinges with regard to other purchasing decisions also.

Apologies for the derail moderators.

I said she sounds like a bitch from your description, not quite the same thing. Why so agro? Sounds like you're having your period, all that stolen toilet paper might come in useful.

Can we get back to mocking scroungers please?

I don't know if you'd call it stingy but I thoroughly dislike people who offer to finish another person's meal should they choose to leave something on the plate. Especially if they just reach across with a fork without even asking. The next person that does that to me will lose a few digits.

Also people who complain about the bag levy. Especially when they just spent their dole money on cigarettes and alcohol. And yes, it is dole money as the people in question are absolute scobes who have a well known routine of collecting their dole money like clockwork and then heading straight for the liquor store. Hours later I see the same crowd mooching in Oxfam and St. Vincent de Pauls. 8 or 9 children in tow. The same children who are given 50 euro to go to the shops for sweets and get their dinner in the chipper.

Years ago I used to work with a lad who had about 6 cigarette packets in his pockets with one cigarette in each so that if he wanted a smoke and there were others around he always had only one left. He never refused one of theirs though.

Why would you prefer to see good food thrown in a bin instead of someone making use of it once the person who paid had finished with it?

It just annoys me. No way would I touch another persons food after they have been rooting through it with a fork that was in their mouth.

some people really don't like being called out on their stinginess by others, even if they've just posted about it themselves.

thats not a bad idea though for when you are in a pub and those annoying people ask if they can "buy" a cigarette from you (like you're gonna take it) or smoking outside work and people on the street ask you if you have a "spare" smoke (when is a smoke, at 9.10 a box, ever "spare"?)

I friend of mine was seeing this really lovely girl. They went cinema once and he decided to drive. When it came to paying for the parking he actually asked her for half of it! He spent a fraction of a night out complaining about this. Personally, I thought this was pretty pathetic.

I'm female and have no problem with paying my fair share at all, on nights out my fella and I split 50/50 most of the time. If we were to lets say go for dinner he would bring me out but given the "recession" thats not done a whole lot anyway!

I dont see why a man should expected to pay for everything. I think its sexist and old fashioned! 12st century woman and all that

|Was having a bbq about 2 months ago. It was forecast to be a lovely weekend. Invited a few people over. Now usually when i have a BBQ i have no problem spending 50 odd quid on mince... chicken wings. legs the usual bits n pieces.... few minerals. I normally buy all the food myself and soft drinks. People normally bring their own Beer though.
So I woke up morning of the BBQ with a KILLER hangover.... So i was like ah hell. Ill text both parties (the tight ones that were coming) to ask them to pick up a few things. I have hangover yada yada. Not in meanness or cuteness i really was in bits.

So the tightwads appear..with drink for themselves and not a scrap of food......

So im sitting there with 2 bbq trays lighting and no food.
the excuse....

Person 1 :Oh I went to the local dunnes and they had no meats for bbq cos of the weather thats in it all sold out....

Person 2: Local butchers had just old stuff didnt want to risk it.

So i jumped in the car and went to the same shops.............. Hmm weird they had plenty of meats.... talk about looking sheepeish when i arrived back full of bbq stuff lol
They offered me cash towards it i of course refused

Good BBQ anyway

Iceing on the cake.... next morning when they left they made sure they didnt leave their dregs...
1/2 bottle of cheap wine
3 cans fosters
Ya couldnt leave them behind lol

A Friend of mine will always bring very little money with him on nights out.
If we we're going into town to a club he would bring say €20 - 30, enough for a shared taxi and 2-3 drinks max. Fair enough if your not a big drinker or don't plan on getting s*it faced.

Always wondered how this friend got so drunk on night out with very little money!

Then last week,we where all out. All up dancing had a full double vodka and cranberry in my hand when the bouncer told me I had to take the drink off the dance floor.
So I went and put it over at the area we where seated at, walk off a few steps and realized I'd left my bag, turned back to get it and there he was gulping back my drink I'd put just down.
When I tapped him on the back to ask WTF more then half the pint glass was drank. He said one of the lads had gotten him a drink and he taught mine was his :rolleyes: - BULL****

Kind of forgotten about it, until I mentioned it a mutual Friend. Turns out she had caught him doing the same, not only on her but on random people on night out.
Always wondered where my drinks would disappear to on a night out.
Not like a drink is cheap in a club these days.
If you can't afford to go out and buy drink then don't go out or drink.

Needless to say we won't be going out with him anymore.

Not being smart but if someone invited me to a BBQ then I get a text off them that morning to bring my own food I would tell them where to shove it.
I would always ring and ask the person hosting the bbq/party if they needed me to bring anything (out of manors) but for someone to text and say "listen hungover, no food for bbq today so pick up stuff"
Hungover or not, don't organized a bbq then expect people to bring their own food :rolleyes: what ever about their own drink that's fair.

Your friends aren't stingy, I'm actually surprised they even showed up tbh

I hate these people. Mostly drunk girls.
Her: sorry hun, could i have like a spare smoke? *hic*
You: no, sorry
Her: Awww don't be a scabbby prick
You: there is a cigarette machine right there, go buy a pack
Her: gawd youer an arsehole, Im a poor trinity student! I can't afford to buy smokes"
You: i see youre drinking double vodka redbull, that cost a tenner minimum, you could have bought a box of smoke for that.
Her:......youer a focking wanker *stumbles off*

After you've combined it with seasoning/egg/breadcrumbs if you wish, to get what we call "burgers".
