Stingiest things thread(op for R&R access)

Someone I known bought a brand new tractor once, the seller is known to be extremely tight. it ran out of diesel on its journey from the garage to the buyers house.

I remember my brother buying a Corolla in the mid 90’s. Met the seller at a petrol station to collect it. Rural Ireland. We were hanging around waiting for him and we hear this car roaring up the street. Unusual back then before boy racers were a thing.
It was the seller, driving the guts out of the car. He pulled in and gave the car a few more hard revs before he got out. (even now, nearly 30 years later I still remember the big grin on his face as he did it)
The B@&€&x was reviving all the petrol out of it before he handed it over.
The aul lad was fuming and was about to walk away from the car only he knew he wouldn’t get the deposit back.
It’s an attitude I’ve come across a few times in Ireland and the people have openly said that they ‘wouldn’t want to see someone else getting the benefit of something.’

we recently traded in our car. It had 3/4 of a tank of diesel still in it, I was cursing my own stupidity (but in fairness I wasn't stinge enough to syphon it back out).

I took a load of copies of the free newspapers in the local shop yesterday, for cleaning the windows of the house, great they are.

I remember someone once telling me newspaper is great for cleaning in windows, I thought to myself I'm not buying a paper just to clean the windows, until I realised there's loads of free ones I've been taking them ever since.

Newspaper is a stretch, just full of ads which I suppose makes sense
