:pac: pretty good but... I normally just ask the store to dispose of my old runners. Did this in Schuh also.

I asked that and even said I'd pay a disposal fee but the manager said they weren't allowed shoes in their rubbish so I had to take them with me. To be honest, I think it's fair enough. If they were to take every dirty old pair off people, their rubbish bills would be massive. It's all business at the end of the day. I'm curious though how you can do this?

Put them in a new shuh bag and leave it on your bike while you do the shopping, obviously

Jesus, you must have been wearing some really bad shoes if you were trying to pay to get rid of them.

In fairness, they were pretty manky. I wouldn't even take them home for my puppies to play with and they love playing with anything associated with smelly feet

Similar to the sambo nicking story...

Was in the self service restaurant in Arnotts years ago and bought myself a coffee and a Kit Kat
The place was packed so eventually got a seat beside some woman in her 40s
Was quietly reading my paper,drinking coffee and eating my Kit Kat ...
Then suddenly your woman stands up and says "You know what..you can fcuking have it..i didn't want it anyway ye little bollix "and walks away ..
I thought she was a lunatic and just looked at her in total shock...
Twenty minutes later I'm heading up Henry St and put my hand in my pocket...Whats in it? ..Yes a ****ing Kit Kat!!

Reminds me of the fact that Dublin Bus don't have bins on their buses. Likely to avoid the disposal costs.

Doesn't stop people throwing **** on the floor though...

freezing bread is far from stingy

how many people would be able for a loaf on their own, in the 3/4 days that the loaf lasts ? I freeze more than half the loaf, and then when I need more bread I just take it out the day before, or defrost it in the microwave/toaster if I needed a lot of bread

I wish I could do the same with the tub of Ben & Jerrys once I open it now that HAS TO go all in one go

No, you are right, it doesn't.

But you know what would? A f***ing bin! :pac:

A regular in my local is well known as a bit of a tightwad. Most people are wise to him & stay well clear of issues regarding money with him.

One other unsuspecting newcomer, who we'll call Joe because that's his name, wasn't so lucky. He's just back from his holidays. When he was heading off, the tightwad asked him could he get him some cigars. Joe said he would.

The day before he was due to come home, Joe rings the pub & asks to speak to the tightwad. He informs him the cigars will be €27. "That's no bother, I'll see you when you get home"

The following evening in comes Joe, cigar box under his arm, and presents them to Tightwad. He whips out the wallet.

The whole bar waited with bated breath to see what was coming next.

"Joe, would you be happy with €20 for them?"

How is freezing bread considered stingy? You buy your weekly shopping every Friday, your bread wont be very nice by the following Thursday.

Jaysus.

I have a few pairs of shoes and boots etc up for sale on Adverts, worn but in good condition. Clearly marked collection only, no postage.

Someone has asked for a pair that I've marked €2 and another pair marked €3. What's the best price I can offer her for both, including postage.

If someone asked to collect them for free, I'd go for it just to get rid of them. But like feck am I going to all the effort to parcel them up and bring them to the post office and sort out transferring money etc, for the sake of less than a fiver!

Why don't you go back to that site and link to where you would apply for a licence. Just to point out, they sell on the waste oil they collect.;)

Mr_Spaceman

Sitting in a cafe yesterday, shortly before closing time, this fiftysomething man (dressed like a 70s Open University professor), proceeds to walk around, hoisting up all the seat and sofa cushions in case he might find a coin which had slipped from someone's pocket.

I looked on, aghast - and he did all this without a hint of shame, while the staff were tidying up and beginning to mop the floor.

If I had been the manager witnessing this, he'd have been slung out on his ragged-trousered arse.

An absolute tramp with no self-respect.

Are you sure he didn't lose something?

Definitely not. I've seen him in there before and he just smiled - far too smugly, I might add - when he clocked me looking at him. Fcuking dosser.
