I'm sure we all know at least one person who are so miserly that they do things that are astonishing. The kind who are not only mean when it comes to spending their own money but will also have no problems in taking advantage of other people's generosity.

For example, I know this tightwad who came to a party and brought a 6 pack of beer (the cheapest, nastiest stuff in the supermarket-the stuff he usually drinks). So anyway my friend who is the host tells him to put them in the fridge with all the drink that everyone else brought. This guy then spent the night drinking the beers that everyone else brought and at the end of the night he went to the fridge, took his 6 beers (that nobody had drank) and left.

I once saw someone use a coupon.

I don't have any stories, but I bet Henry does. I'll let him take over the thread.

I saw on tv a story about a family who was stingy. They collected ketchup packets from McD's and would open them all up and pour them into a big Heinz bottle. Also, they would unroll their 2-ply toilet paper and make 2 1-ply rolls.

I worked for a guy that owned a custom boat company, an ARCO gas station w/ a self serve car wash and video poker machines and a flower shop here in Vegas. He was a millionaire many many times over. This cheap mother****er used to reuse tea bags!

No not some fancy tea bags either, Tetley ****ing tea, the box that comes with like 100 teabags for $1.99. I finally called him out on it one day and he said he likes his tea weak! I laughed in his face and made him give me a raise. Till the day I quit he swore he liked his tea "weak!" Cheap ass mother****er!!

One of aunts married a guy who used to wash his dental floss, hang it on the line to dry and then re-use it.

"HAHA! Weak tea! Pay me more, right now, mother****er!"

Is that how it went?

my best friend wont buy anything (ANYTHING) unless its on sale or he has a coupon. i say "yo lets go buy ice cream at that cool place near my house!" and his first question is always "do you have a coupon?" and when i say no he always passes.

Is this as douchey as I imagine?

At a wedding last weekend, beer and wine are free at the reception. Anything else is cost. Everything, however, is free for the bridal party.

One of the groomsman was going and getting non-free hard(er) drinks (for free), and then giving them to his girlfriend, so she wouldn't have to pay.

I feel like he was taking advantage of the bride and groom's good nature (or family's), when she could have just drank for free since they did offer partially open bar.

Seems douchey....yes or no?

that does seem douchey especially like you said considering the beer and wine were free anyway.

when my grandad died and my grandma moved out i had to go clean her fridge and she had like 2 pounds of bbq, ketchup, honey mustard in there. the individual packets from fast food places etc.

THE stingiest thing though is i have a buddy who, mr pink style, refuses to tip unless the waitress practically gives him a handy under the table. i've bowed out of going places before cause i heard he was going and i knew he wouldnt tip. hes going to get all of our food spit on.

At a Baja Fresh restaurant. A customer grabbed a paper bowl and completely hogged all the pico de gallo from the salsa bar. The biggest dick move I seen lately.

that is so disgusting.

I get that in some areas cash bar at weddings are the norm so I don't have a problem with that, but if you can't afford a full open bar for all of your guests just make it beer and wine for everyone. Treating your guests differently is just weird IMO.

+1. The segregation by the hosts was way douchier. Don't see anything wrong with what he was doing, it was for his GF not all his mates.

Guy goes to a sports bar to watch a football game. Sits with us, just orders water. The entire night. No tip for waitress. Stopped inviting him. He shows up on his own another time, does the same thing.
