Stingiest thing you've seen stingy people do

She said that the straw that broke the camels back was a woman coming in with a golf bag. She had the nerve to bring the bag and a complete set of golf clubs into a book shop, each one that she wanted wrapped up individually, without contributing a penny to the donations jar. I mean who the fook has the nerve to do that ? She threw a strop when my friend politely pointed out to her that the free gift wrapping was only for store bought items, and asked to speak to the manager, not knowing that my friend was the manager. That takes both stinginess & hardneckery to a whole new level imo !
Of course they did, first sign of a mean cúnt when they don't get their own way or don't like what they've been told. I would LOVE and I mean LOVE to be a manager to tell these people where to go. Of course stingyness goes hand in hand with a plethora of negative traits (as this thread has shown time and time again) so someone like that would probably go out of their way to report a manager or try and make their life a misery with a complaint. You really have to fúcking watch them0 -

Brave of someone to hand you a golf club and then show neck like that.0 -

In the summer at an event near Dublin, some of the hotels at the seafront had facepainting and balloons for the kids. Supposedly a good idea to lure in the punters? Instead a lot of pee-ers were lured in after their kids taking free balloons and face painting. They then went off their merry way without so much as looking into the bar. We were in a lounge having barfood and though we were genuine customers spending about 100 euro between 4 of us, we had to queue for ages for the loo behind all the (messy, bad aiming) subscribers to the freebees.
I had a well to do friend years ago. When we were about 6 she said I had to go home because it was time for her 'special drink' and there wouldn't be enough for 2 of us. This wonderful bevvy, available once a month or so, she described to me was warm water swirled around the empty jamjar. And they wouldn't even share that
Another time I paid for a horseriding lesson and that wealthy lady downfaced me that I hadn't given her the twenty spot for the lesson. I'd seen loads of crumpled 500 euro notes in her handbag when she had taken my money!! My powers of observation noticing those and a pink hairbrush in the handbag made her accept (with very bad grace) I'd paid.
It's surprising how many people will take advantage of a 'lift' at night, week after week if you don't drink, without ever offering to even buy you a water.0 -

A nice gesture in return for kindness. Quid pro quo. Homeless Student wasn't expecting to receive the price of the tickets in beer, but something given would have created balance in the interaction.
Anyway the grabber had 'said the drinks would be on him and his mate for the night'. So as well as being a grabber, he didn't stand by his word. Like the toads who tried get lifts with me every night I was going out and would never offer to buy a drink of water or a fiver towards petrol. Nor would they EVER drive, some had a mysterious problem with Night Eyes, some had awful problems with car lights, and best of all, their social anxiety meant they could not spend even ONE night without the gargle. Last few times I left my car behind and we all pay for a taxi now, I was spending that anyway, and difference is now I'm first home.
You get sick of users. It has to be give and take. 0 -

It's weird any really well off people I know are liable to do things so mean, so stingy, they would not stop at grabbing/stealing what they want (if there was any chance to get away with it). We were invited to an opening of a beauty salon and I had to draw attention speaking loudly and then physically push my friend so she wouldn't put a spray glitter thing from the shelf into her bag!! She would chat up any guys, with wedding rings, old, fat, yuk, if there was a chance of free drink. Funny thing, going in with her, I never once paid into a nite club and got in free to the best seats/tents/parties everywhere. She was great fun, interesting, gorgeous looking and had great points, but the meanness and using ruined it all.
New Boyfriend was given decorator title and kept busy at a particular room. Until he and the room were finished. If you put money down, out would go the paw and she'd put it in her pocket, with so much ownership too!! She had a beautiful brand new car, but would walk from Leeson St to Monkstown rather than buy petrol. I asked her had I left my pearl necklace in her house, she said No, definitely not, if I'd have seen that I'd have swiped it.
The best one, she'd get a guy to buy a large box of condoms for her beside locker - just before she'd finished with him
