Like, it's bad? For sure? But him making a huge deal out of being inconvenienced / lightly insulted during something as typically cluster**** as someone else's wedding is rather worse. You gotta take one for the team in a spot like this.

it's called a gutterball. completely legit if he was with a bunch of friends and doing it for a laugh.

wow, you are a monumental douche. it's their wedding and a very special day for them, not you. do you get that?

your friend doesn't realize it but that ended up being a pivotal moment when he unintentionally removed a prick from his life.

One incident a girl opened something like a 3 pack of zingers right after she bought it. He slides over to wear she sits and asks,"you gonna eat all that." She blew up cuz she and everyone else was sick of him and basically said fine you can have them u ****ing beggar and slammed the package on teh table.


He still ate them w/ no shame.

I was fed up w/it really early and basically made fun of this 50 yr old cheap ass, but I make fun of everyone. Guess I wasn't up front enough. The last straw was one of the last pot lucks we had he promised to bring chips and dip and instead just brought the chips cuz he said his wife said the dip was too expensive then proceeded to eat/take home 5 or 6 ppls worth of food. I believe some ppl had a talk w/him but I wasn't there when it happened, but I'm sure it was epic and wish to god I didn't have the flu that week. He ended up getting laid off a lil after the potluck incident.

There is this guy in my town who has plenty of money (in fact, rich), but in the local cafe he always orders water to drink. Then he proceeds to bother the waitress to bring him several packets of lemon juice and he sits there with the juice, and who knows how much sugar; and proceeds to make some lemonade.

Now that's cheap!

I suppose you could, but I really wouldn't want to be friends with someone that doesn't invite my wife to a rehearsal dinner. I think people are underestimating how bizarre/cheap that is.

I can kinda see both sides to the wedding party dilemma.

Neither side is worth ruining a friendship over though. This is a prime example of wedding parties sometimes causing more harm than good.

Some of these may be justified on (often specious) environmentalist grounds. So on that note, what about examples of (especially counterproductive) efforts to be "environmentally friendly" or "socially responsible"? For example, on Earth Hour a couple of years ago, I saw a bar replacing its lighting with candles. I assume this is fairly common.

One of the first sentences I ever spoke to this kid was, "You WALKED here? From the Excalibur???", on a 100+ degree day.

wait with the wedding was the wife just not invited to the rehearsal dinner. if so I don't really see a problem apart from that your friends and wife don't get on as well as you thought. so instead of busting his balls when he going to super ****ing stressed sorting **** out, i would wait till after the wedding to try and sort stuff out. if they do get on well and it is just a money problem why your wife couldn't go then accept it, doubt he felt good telling you you'r wife cant come

my wife used to work as a barista. She had several regulars who would order a double espresso in a large cup then go and dump the entire little metal pitcher of half n half in.

My roommate and I in college once went on a trip from Eau Claire, WI to Cantebury casino in MN. We had about enough gas to make it almost to the MN border, my roommate argued this and didn't feel like paying for WI gas as MN gas was about 5c per gallon cheaper. We ran out of gas in Roberts, WI with a population probably under 500 with a gas station at the far end of town.

So we walked on highway 94 to the gas station approx. 5 miles away. I went inside to pay for the gas and can as he didn't bring his wallet with him. I told the cashier what had happened and she called the local police who gave me a ride and let me sit in the front seat. I made my roommate pour the gas, but he managed to pour about half of it on the ground as he had never done it before. Sigh

My dad has done this before for 10c per gallon difference, but that was back in the day when 10c meant something....his walk was much further than mine tho. Was one of the reasons my mom and dad didn't get along.

My grandma saves ketchup, napkins, straws, sporks from fast food restaurant and has probably 2 lbs of supplies in her purse. She'd rather eat at McDonald's and save her money for keno than to go to a sit down restaurant and waste more money on better food.

It is so fknucig tilting to read these stories, but like Lay's Potato chips, I can't stop at just one.

I worked in a restaurant for 12 years. the roll your own lemonade is totally standard. these are the same people who ask for extra plates of free bread, drink 47 cups of free refill coffee, and microtip. but this is all nothing compared to putting little debbies on a credit card one at a time.

Hetty Green is a famous miser.

This is a woman who wrote a check for $1.1 million in 1907 to keep the city of New York financially solvent.

She also allowed her son's broken leg to become gangrenous and require amputation rather than pay for treatment.

that's beyond stingy, that's just depressing.

your right i dont live in cali but right now the budz coming from canada are killing the cali buds ainec so yes i only smoke exotics as well and still find smoking resin out of a bowl or bong to be 100 percent disgusting and probably not all that good for you. and lol at running out.... and resin in a bowl to be very very clean... that **** burns like rubber and smells like burning rubber.. seriously man... stop smoking resin... the high you get from it is probably not a thc high....

oh and + to medicating wisely ive been known myself to hold on to some a+ nugs for a real long time making it last.

^^^ Wow.

"Her frugality extended to family life. Her son Ned broke his leg as a child, and Hetty tried to have him admitted in a hospital charity ward. When she was recognized, she stormed away vowing to treat the wounds herself. The leg contracted gangrene and had to be amputated—he ended up with a cork prosthesis. "

"In her old age she began to suffer from a bad hernia but refused to have an operation because it cost $150"

Most of the stuff in this thread is totally bizarre, but I'm actually only really surprised by the fact everyone is all over King_Of_NYC for his behaviour. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding things the friend is totally in the wrong. From what I understand KONYC's wife was specifically slighted by a couple they had invited to their own wedding 18 months earlier. I'd think proper etiquette is to extend the same courtesy to them as well considering this is supposed to be his best friend. It seems pretty absurd to me that this so-called best friend would pull a stunt like this. If his wife really was the only person this "no significant others" request even applied to, thats a massive slap in the face. How much could the additional plate have even cost? Surely <$100. Unless they were married at some 24hr drive-thru wedding chapel, <$100 doesn't even represent any appreciable amount of an average wedding budget.

Total scumbag move to single out his wife under the guise of budget issues.

Many of these are blatant stealing. All are evidence of some sort of mental illness or response to a traumatic experience.

Many of us have grandparents who grew up during the great depression which I guess I'll have to call a traumatic experience. Here are some of their behaviors that may be familiar to others.

2 pees one flush
enter supermarket, pick up a jar of olives, eat them all while walking through the store, put the empty jar on a shelf when it's time to leave
make oatmeal for breakfast, tomato soup for dinner, and mix them together at times for variety

not possible

I thought of this too, but goddammit this story tilts me soooo bad.

I saw a guy on a poker site buy in for the absolute minimum amount and then leave the table after he doubled up.

Microbob I want to make fun of you back, but cant after "right to remain silent" ITT.

sorry imsa (and thanks too I guess). That jab occurred to me the instant I saw your name on the thread as "last post."

One time I saw a guy make 50,000 posts on a free internet forum.
