My dad used to go out drinking with a group of five lads, one bloke's dad was a big businessman in the town so he was loaded but he was as tight as a mouse's hole.

Anyway rounds were being bought and this lad's turn came but he showed no signs of getting up so they skipped him and said nothing. Later that night it came back round to his turn but he was drinking slowly, so at this stage he was finishing off a pint of guinness and had another pint in front of him poured 20 mins beforehand, the other four lads having already finished that round by now. Again he showed no signs of getting up so someone made it pretty clear to him that it was his turn.

So up he went to the bar, he buys four pints and brings them back to the table, gives himself a fresh pint of guinness and gives the old pint that he hadn't started to the lad sitting next to him.

I know a fella that when he sold his house, he took the door handles off the doors. I asked him about it, he said that they were bought seperate from the doors. I could understand someone taking the lampshades, but he took the whole lot. There wasnt a bulb, lampshade or door handle in the house.
This same fella will peel a stamp from an envelope if it hasnt been marked by the post office, use a bit of pritt stick and use it again.

I was a talking to Garda last week who is a client.

He was off to investigate drivers at a local petrol station that drive off without paying. Apparently it is rampent at the moment. He said that most modern petrol stations have very sophisticated number plate detection systems and they will be caught.

What some people when they have filled up is go into the place and buy something small and not pay for their fuel.. Then leg it...

We've had some pretty stingy experience with students who stayed in our house.

One time we had an Italian girl staying with us. She was really particular about her things, she even had her name embroidered on her underwear! Anyway, one day she came down to my mum and said she was missing a pair of white pop socks, you know the ones for about a euro in penneys. My mum looked everywhere for the socks, and eventually found my sister wearing them running around out the back garden. My mum went out and bought her new socks. Like one pair of socks!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:
This same girl was caught numerous times using our phone to ring long distance which she wasnt supposed to do, among other things. Cheeky!


Another time we had a couple living in our granny flat. They worked in McDonalds and would bring back the McD napkins and use them as toilet paper, which clogged up our toilets. :eek:
They then came to us and said they couldnt pay the rent and were leaving that day to go back to spain, while carrying bags of souveniers and presents. Fcukers!

Another German lad stayed with us, and he was a right lazy slob all he did was stay in and watch tv. ONe day my dad nicely offered to bring him to glendalough and to wicklow gaol to get him out of the house. When they arrived at the gaol, the student refused to pay the 5euro entry fee after my dad driving him all the way down. Dad just said fcuk this and drove straight back home. Why come to Ireland to watch tv you stingy c*nt?!

I know someone like this! She's middle aged, never worked a day in her life, had a very rich husband, lives in an extremely posh area, drives a jaguar, yet is too scabby to pay bin charges.... Unreal

What you're referring to was posted in good faith and in the spirit of the thread - be nice, in fairness People hate condescending smilie Pedants more than they hate well-intentioned Newbies.

Mate of mine from Louth was bringing a gang of us up the M1 to Dundalk. He took the Drogheda exit on the motorway and drove through the town in peak traffic for over half an hour, just to save paying the €1.90 toll!

I got paid 25 cent less the last two weeks...
That 25 cent turns into 13 euro over 52 weeks.
I really feel like questioning it

I dont like that attitude to toll-dodgers. You get screwed either way - waste money on a road already paid for in tax, or get called a stinge.

However, in the case of rush hour traffic where you will waste time, and arguably more money in petrol i will agree.

I'm so stingy I read this in work so I wouldn't use up my own electricity and internet connection.

Millicent

I had a boyfriend who was so tight, my dad said he squeaked when he walked. He, on more than one occassion, walked 16 miles rather than pay for the bus fare home.

I was in a shop with him one day and he got into a row about the price of a drink with the poor ba$tard behind the counter, really, really abusing the poor f*cker. After apologising to the shop assistant, I had to leave I was so mortified only to discover later that yer man stole a second bottle of drink to "get his value for money."

Cheap git.

Relationship did not last.
