Kraft? More like he was a food snob.

I went to dinner at an Italian place with an old friend once and she ordered pasta, I got a small pizza. The waiter brought us a basket of bread, and we both took a piece. The bread came with her dinner, and you can request more without a charge obviously.

When the bill came we each went to pay for what we ordered (she was not a split down the middle person). When I put my share in she asked "don't you want to throw in a couple of bucks towards the bread?".

Kraft slices are expensive enough that there's no way you're coming out ahead there right? It's always seemed to weird to me how much they cost for how gross most people (me, I get high and eat them straight) think they are.

When I said kraft singles, i really just meant individually wrapped cheese slices, but you guys get the idea..... this was 15 or so years ago too, so he was probably saving himself a couple cents per burger.

A couple cents per burger saved is a couple cents per burger EARNED.

Dids:

Homer eats 64 slices of american cheese.

My old roommate and I used to split all of our bills; one month I'd pay and he'd write me a check for half and vice versa. When it was his turn to pay, he'd charge me the $.17 for half the stamp.

Thanks a lot. I was in a pretty good mood, it being Friday and all.

if it makes you feel better, DMC makes up her stories.

Cite?

I was at a music festival a few summers ago with some friends. I called up my buddy who wasn't at the festival to see if he would give us a lift back after the last act had performed on the Sunday because the train station was packed. It was 3.30am and we all agreed to pay him well (£15 each) and there were 5 of us. Anyway, we're waiting for him to pick us up and one of the girls who was coming with us was pretty drunk and she had lost her purse. The guy picking us up refused to give her a lift even though it was 3.30am, freezing, and she had no money for the train. She said she would pay him back the next day but he refused. We also offered to pay for her but he made up some douchey excuse like 'she's too drunk' etc. I mean she was drunk but not paralytic drunk about to blow chunks all over his nice car. We still rip on him to this day because of this.

Must not have been very hot.

see in law thread. it should be pretty obvious. also there are just too many stories about coworkers and bosses in this thread, yambag thread, various lc threads, for them to be believable. for her posting history to be true dmc had to have worked 172 jobs in her life.

i spontaneous went out with A and B who are good friends with each other, but i barely know them. Cause it was spontaneous i didnt have much money with me, so they told me they cover for me if i pay back, what i obv do. So they paid like 70$ for me, and when i met A one week later again, i told him "hey i think i owe you this from last week"and gave him those 70$, he said sth like "o really ? didnt know that, thank you" .
the next time i met B , he told me if i can pay him back his 70$ what i did.
Am i being stingy now to want my money back from A ? its a bit uncomfortable for me, cause as mentioned i dont know them that well, but since im busto it kinda sux.

Why would you pay B when you already paid A the money you owed A and B?

Shouldn't it just have gone something like:

B: Oi matey! You got my money?
SirG: I paid A what I owed you guys.
B: Alright, I'll talk to him then. See you later.

its not like they are husband and wife with a shared money-pool.

its more like i thought A paid for my drinks etc all night long, while instead B paid for it. And since B asked me while A wasnt there, its not that good manners to say "well A owes me 70$ so get the 70$ I owe you from him"

"Oh man, I thought Adam paid for all that, so I gave him the $70. Next time I see him I'll ask him for it back and get it to you... or, if you're going to see him, you could tell him what's up. Whatever works for you, Bob, sorry about that."

wtf, if B paid for you then A pretty much just stole your $70, you should probably not be friends with him

I don't understand how this could be any kind of problem between people with non-caveman-level social skills

My mate was chatting to this 9/10 bird while waiting for the bus, like proper flirting (he probs had a decent chance with her) when he spotted a 10p piece on the floor about 4 or 5 yards away - he tries to restrain himself but just can't do it, he interupts convo, makes a distressed dash to get the 10p n comes back to continue where they left off. bird looks at him in mixture of shock, disgrace and WTF!?!? needless to say she wasn't too impressed and that was that.

he coulda had that bird bouncing up and down on his ponce if he played it right.

Sitting in a hospital waiting room the other day, when a group shows up with bags of McDonald's (nearest McDonald's is a ways away).

Fat Mom: "Dang! They forgot the ranch for my salad."
Pasty Son: "That's too bad, Mom."
Fat Mom: "Well, you'll have to go back and get it for me, I gotta stay here in case they call us."
Pasty Son: "I'll just go downstairs to the cafeteria and get some."
Fat Mom: "That'll cost money, if you just tell the drive-through lady they forgot it, they'll just give it to you."
Pasty Son: "But McDonald's is two miles away. And we just parked the car. It's a quarter for a packet of ranch in the cafeteria."
Fat Mom: "That's nice of you, but if there's free dressing at McDonald's, there's no reason to buy it here, right?"
Pasty Son: . . .
Fat mom: "Right? . . . Right? . . .
Pasty Son: "Yeah, I guess. I'll be back in awhile."

I was speechless.

Next time something like that happens, reach in your pocket and hand the guy a quarter. He just might learn something from it.

One of the guys in my group of friends is really, really frugal. Before this guy goes anywhere or buys anything, he looks for coupons. He buys multiple Sunday newspapers and spends Sunday afternoons clipping coupons.

A few of my friends and I took a buddy out for dinner and drinks on his birthday. A couple people gave him gift cards at dinner. Frugal Friend gave him an Entertainment Book. As we're wrapping up dinner, Frugal Friend asks birthday boy if there are any coupons for the restaurant we are dining in, as he would like to use one.

My cheap ass housemate who I want to strangle:

- We all go out to the bars one night, and by the end he is bragging about how he didn't tip one dollar to any bartender and was puffing his chest about it. I heard this through someone else we were with the next day and if I would've heard it in person I would've ripped him a new one as my dad tends bar once a week and to brag about not tipping it the lowest you can go IMO.

- We both lived in the house at college over the summer while our 3rd roommate was in South Africa. He had a job and I didn't so he felt the need to tell me I need to pay 75% of gas and electricity since I was "there more" even though I was always out and about either at my real home or at my friends at the pool.

- Went to White Castle after a softball game and I ended up being 11 cents short and he paid with his debit card. This is before I truly knew of his cheapness and I was like "OH DONT FORGET THAT I OWE YOU 11 CENTS LOL" and he's like "na I won't, I can use the change to gather up laundry money."

- This is what really sent me over the edge. Winter comes and he lives in a single and me and my roommate live in the coldest part of the house (the walls are like concrete and just give off coldness) and cheap ass housemate has work at 7 AM three days a week so he will get up, get ready for work, then turn the thermostat either all the way off or down to like 55, and then LEAVE me and my roommate to wake up shivering in our sleep.


Some other kid I know wanted a Snickers bar so he took 20 out of the WAWA ATM because there was a 15 cent coupon on the ATM receipt, bought the Snickers with the coupon, then immediately drove down the road to the bank and redeposited the 20.
