Stingiest thing you've seen stingy people do

This one's disgusting...

A guy I know was in Supermacs somewhere in the country a few years ago. He went looking for the bathroom, but there were no signs on any of the doors, so he accidentally ended up walking into the kitchen.
He saw one of the staff picking chips out of the bin and putting them back into the deep fat fryer.
:eek:

... No wonder I got food poisoning when I went there!

i knew a friend for lunch who would go up the town to get a roll in supervalu
and then down to the other end to dunnes to get a bottle of coke


rolls in supervalu were cheaper but the bottle of coke was 1.20 in supervalu. and only 1.00 in dunnes

But rolls in supervalu are super-expensive! I walk across town sometimes so I don't have to buy a roll in Supervalu

2.99 for a roll with chicken, lettuce, egg and tomato in my local super value ! I'd hardly call that expensive !

Fago!

Some bastard stole two of my pints on Wednesday. Geebag!

I only met him that day aswell. What's worse is he blamed the person who bought them for me. IDIOT!

Just cool it with the anti-Semitic remarks.

Racist much?

It's not but what would it matter if it was?

People seem to think that if they say "That's racist' that people will automatically take back what they just said. It's sad.

Its not racist, its anti-semitic. There is a difference, people pull out the racist card all too easily.

The jury is out on Judaism as it happens, so it's perfectly legitimate to call it racism.

Ok, Il just say it was because they were Israelis.

Seriously, what do you say to a story about 20 tight fisted Jewish people?

Fun trick to play if you drink Guinness. When you're finished your pint, keep the glass and fill it with water - looks exactly like a pint of lager.

Leave if where you know someone will take it and watch when the thief takes a drink.

Boss whos loaded , parks his brand new BMW in Centra carpark , walks across to barbers and asks for old age discount , i kid you not , tight git !!!!!!!!!!

ANXIOUS

Just finished took me 24hrs on and off to read the whole thing, a few stories of my own.

A group of friends went over to visit a friend of hours on erasmus in germany. Everything was going grand we were at a house party and some spanish chap starts coming around asking everyone for 10cent for a bag of ice. I was shocked just gave the chap 2euro.

Another time in temple bar for a birthday. My friend brought along his friend i'll call him john, that the group would know but not that well. So we are in rounds of pints so on the seventh and last drink of the round its john's turn. So after a few awarkward minutes of us all with empty glasses john pips up that he doesnt do rounds because you never get them back.

He got some slagging and after we pointed out that he'd already got 6 free pints he dragged himself up to the bar. It looked like it killed him handing over the money.

Israeli =/= Jew.

lol yeah right. That's why Israel is called the Jewish State, and that hardly of the non-Palestinians there are non-Jewish. What the hell was your point again?

You know what's funny about people jumping to the defence of Jews whenever Jewish stereotypes are brought up? It's that Jews spend their whole time joking about themselves and their stereotypes. I should know, I have Jewish family, and I've got TV too. There's no more ardent defender of Jews than a goy.

I lived in three of his houses over two years, 98/99 and 99/00. While i didn't exactly enjoy having him as a landlord and his tightness is legendary, I have to say at the back of it all I think he's decent enough. But there was no way I could go back to living with him and his family for a third year.

So rumour had it

Apparently his wife had owned the land the housing estate was built on, and he'd built the estate.

I'd reckon his neighbours hated him for bringing down the tone of the neighbourhood with all us scruffy students.

Still, in fairness to the man, he got a medal for fighting off a mugger who was trying to steal an old ladies handbag.

neighbour told me this morning he got rid of his gone off fruit to the little kiddies trick or treating last night..............

oh,yeah that was while i watched him clean the egg off his house:p

A friend of mine reuses tea bags. How much does a box of tea bags cost? About €3 or so? It does my head in, because it gives a much weaker cup of tea. At a guess I'd say he uses each about three to five times.

My grandmother goes to a meeting with friends every month, and they take it in turns to bring food for it. One of them, who is notoriously stingy, brought a packet of custard creams and a half-eaten packet of Mikado :eek:

Couple weeks back I was just out of the gym, fancied something to eat and a drink so I drove off up to the garage. Got in, got my things and put them on the counter, person on the till rings them up and I see that the total is €5.20. I handed him a fiver in my knackered state, and he says to me '20c?'. I nodded my head and said no, and casually walked out with my things in hand



Day after I told him why I made the mistake, thank god he understood cos I use that garage everyday and the staff know me

She bought her bridsmaid dress in Debenhams on sale for €23 and has it up for sale on a website for €90....the bridesmaid is disgusted that she didn't get to keep HER dress. Very stingy!!! Its not like she paid a fortune for it....her wedding cost less than €2k btw....and she's not short of a bob!!

A relative on the inlaws side got us a much heralded Xmas present one year, a subscription to National Geographic. When it arrived there was a card included offering a year subscription for a friend to NG for 1c (U.S. based).
