Me and a bunch of friends bought 1/2 off paintball coupons a few weeks in advance, but it ended up that I couldn't make it on the weekend we planned on going. So my buddy told me one of the guys he worked with could take my spot, and that the guy had offered me $5 for my 1/2 off coupon (coupon was ~$25 or so for $50). I told him I'd rather eat the coupon.

Were you planning on using the coupon in the future or something? If not then I don't understand where you are coming from. The idea of "buying" coupons is also foreign to me.

my brother used to play a lot of basketball
he got sick of people drinking his gatorade all the time, so one day he pissed in a bottle of half full gatorade and on the bottle wrote "pauls gatorade, dont drink" knowing full well this would make it even more likely that someone would drink it. Nobody ever drank his gatorade again.

one time me and a ex friend of mine were eating at restaurant

i ordered about 8 bucks in food
he ordered about 12

after done eating.. he insisted i leave $2 bucks tip
i do this and leave assuming he would do the same

but my spider sense was tiggling.. i come back and look what he left...

can you guess?


$0

he chews like a ****ing pig tilts me everytime

Simple, yet effective.

my grandmother use to reuse wrapping paper, we had to try to carefully open up gifts from her.

Standard grandma imo

I'd be a little wary of drinking my own Gatorade after that if I were him.

i feel like the people who do piss /gross stuff to "teach someone else a lesson" actually have some kind of psychological fetish going on

yea he had a fetish with people not being cheap *******s and drinking his gatorade while he played,just for him to be thirsty when he was done playing and seeing it was all gone.

i'd lace it with tabasco or something before pissing in it. piss just seems f'n psycho

obv play is to go Police Academy 2 on him and put some sort of super glue in the shampoo

sounds familiar.

One that just happened recently that was likely more annoying than stingy.

My parents always give us a ride or pick us up from the airport, and we sometimes do the same thing.

So recently my wife and I booked a Washington DC trip. My parents have been wanting to go, so they decided to go a similar time as us. They left a few days earlier than us (I think they left on Wed, and we left Fri afternoon) and we both were coming back on Wed. My wife and I both have limited time off of work, so we purposely booked a late morning flight so we could do laundry and shopping and relax a bit at home before going back to work on Thursday. So we basically got up, had breakfast and headed to the airport.

But my parents decided they wanted to try to cram something in on Wed and take a late afternoon flight out of DC, which would arrive at 9pm in Phoenix. And they thought I should be the one to pick them up. I tried to say it would be more convenient if they came home the same time as us and whoever was picking us up could pick them up, but they said no.

My Mom hasn't worked since I was born, and my Dad is recently retired, so they have all the time in the world.

So come Wed night at 9 I am checking online and wouldn't you know it, their flight is delayed. I am already tired since it is midnight in DC, and I got up at 7:30 there, which is 4:30 in Phoenix. I would already be in bed if it wasn't for them. Their flight finally gets in a 9:50 and I pick them up and take them home, hoping I can make it back to my house by 10:30.

On the to their house, I am kinda peeved and tired, and really try not to say much, cause I am unhappy about the situation they put me in. My Mom has already made a comment about what we did today in DC and I said "Leave for the airport" as she then told a story of how awesome their trip to some Fort was. Now my Dad says the line that would have made my wife go crazy. He said "Good thing I don't have to work tomorrow". This is his staple line that he always says to rub it in since he is retired. Normally it is fine, but I felt it was so out of line after we purposely booked an earlier flight so we could get ready for work the next day and then their flight is delayed and I still had to drive them home instead of a $30 cab ride. How rude.

"Sorry, I'm taking the early flight because I have to do X that night. I can't pick you up."

I was in line at the GSP this morning, exact change toll. 2 cars in front of me threw his change into the machine, and one coin bounced off the back and landed on the ground. He threw in another quarter and went on his way.

The driver of the car in front of me immediately put his car into park and gets out to pick up the quarter from the wet, dirty ground. As he is heading back to his car, he had a ****-eating grin on his face, while I (and probably everyone who saw this) rolled our eyes.

don't worry, we all know what GSP is. no need to explain it

garden state parkway. toll road in jersey

i had to drive 2 times about 50miles at 3am (when i had to work both times the next day) to save my dad 20$ for a parking slot.

i think you are overreacting here.

Why does it matter which toll road he's talking about?

This, but I apologize for not being more clear.

GSP=Garden State Parkway, runs through New Jersey.

I'm glad you clarified, because I was wondering why you were throwing change at an MMA fighter.

my inlaws are all about making yo udrive down to hartsfield instead of paying $7 per day parking. I think its half to save money, the other half is they don't want to have to shuttle over to the lot and drive home themself. Eitehr way, its fn stupid

Or, if your time meant that much to you, you could have offered to pay the $30 for their cab, then you get your beauty sleep and they get a ride.

When I was in college, I worked at a mattress store as a salesman. Dealing with the public, I encountered lots of very strange people, but the guy in this story took the cake.

I was in the store alone one evening when an 70-something man came in, looking very upset. He marched up to me and started ranting about how he had just been at another mattress store, and that they wouldn't allow him to return a mattress set that he had bought from them 6 months ago. He told me that he was willing to chop a few hundred dollars off of his refund, as the cost of the use he got out of the mattress set.

He couldn't understand why they were so reluctant to take it back, as it looked "just like new". He explained to me that the only person who used it was his wife, who had been dying of cancer and barely weighed anything for the last few months of her life. He had bought the mattress set for a spare room so that his bed-ridden wife could die in it. She had died a month earlier and he already had another guest room, so he didn't need the mattress set anymore. He felt that it would be crazy to throw it out, as it was only six months old.

Apparently he didn't see anything wrong with the idea of a someone sleeping on a mattress set that someone else had used as their death death bed.

He asked me if our store would buy it from him. I told him that we only sold our own brand (we were a factory-direct operation), and that we were not allowed to sell our competitors' brands. I advised him to put an ad in the Pennysaver if he wanted to sell it.

Had the owner of the store been there, I suspect that he would have offered the guy a hundred bucks for the set and then flipped it at a profit to an unsuspecting customer who was "looking for a deal".
