I knew a guy once who tried out a product in a store and then purchased it online to save 15%

get the stealing stories in the scam thread pls

I forgot my great-grandma used to hand wash paper plates and re-use them. She wasn't poor, either. She was like 32 years old when the Great Depression started though. I think my mom said she still kept cash under her mattress. She died in 1993 at near 96 years old. I never met her daughter (my mom's mom) - she died in her 40s like 15 years before I was born. But I remember my great-grandma very well.

lol wtf. Hey I think it's pretty cool I grew up knowing someone who was born in the 19th century! She told tales of riding in a car in downtown passing people in horse-drawn carriages. Then as alzheimers set in she told grander tales that probably didn't happen.

my great grandma died when i was in high school at like 89 or something

THIS:

(your grandma)

He said it that way because a lot of people, you certainly, would have had a hard time keeping "great-grandma" and "grandma" separate in your "brain." No offense.

Alot of "people" wouldn't "be" able to "separate" grandma and "great-grandma" in "my" brain"?" So "your" saying "I" think most people "wouldn't" be "able" to separate the "two"....I don't "think" that "at" all.

No, not even close. hahaha.

Does being stupid make you angry?

Perhaps you should re-read what you wrote. It clearly says "In my brain a lot of people would have a hard time separating grandma from great-grandma."

Another thing, am I being bullied? Is this bullying? I thought you didn't like bullies? I guess you have no problem being a hypocrite though.

Can somebody set up a fund for me?

Oh, right, you're still correcting grammar. Good one. haha.

I'm not correcting your grammar...I'm saying you're wrong. You said "I think people would be confused over grandma/great-grandma", when I don't think that at all. I have never given any reason for you to think that I think people can't separate grandma/great-grandma. Just the opposite actually.

Basically I'm asking why are you replying to my post, when you don't even know what your talking about?

I can't really follow this conversation right now. You don't make any sense.

I used your own words in my post, I'm talking about your post, everything in my post is what you said. It's your post that doesn't make any sense, so why do you post when if you don't know what your talking about? Do you also not understand simple questions? How can you be so stupid to make a post you don't even understand?

I guess I should really ask only one question at a time so you don't get confused again...fxckin moron.

Crazy timing, I was just about to comment on that.

At my friends dads house the laundry is next to the kitchen and whenever my friends dad (born in the depression) wanted hot water in the kitchen he would take a jug to the laundry and fill it up there then bring it back to the kitchen because the laundry tap was closer to the hot water system.

Seems like 80% of the posts in this thread don't qualify b/c they are all things people HEARD about rather than SAW as the title says.

Does he get mad at people who get their hot water from the kitchen and drive up utility prices?

Maybe he was lazy and didn't want to wait for it to reach the kitchen.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I have a great one that I think needs to be shared.

When I was about 12 years old, my best friend has a very weird and stingy father. His father was a lawyer for the state of NY. I don't know if he was an assistant DA or what, but the point is he made a good six figures and was not poor.

One day he was driving us somewhere and wanted to stop at the bank to deposit some coin roles. So we get there and he has like 15 or 20 roles of quarters to deposit, so a fair amount of money. As we are standing at the teller window, the teller starts handling the roles of quarters. Maybe one of the rolls didn't feel right to him or something, because for whatever reason he opens up one of the rolls. Inside the roll was about 10 buttons. The man had supplemented his quarters with buttons. The teller just looked at him and my friends dad picked up all the rolls and we left. I couldn't control myself I was laughing so hard. He just looked sheepish and we didn't speak of it again.
I don't have any other stories about this guy being cheap, but he was a very weird dude.

so you witnessed an attempted bank robbery, thats nuts. surprised the teller didn't do anything. would've been amazing if he had been arrested and debarred.
