Just imagining that made me shudder in discomfort.
Stinginess story (sorry not a Papa DD story):
I play in a home game with a bunch of regulars, who I'm casual friends with, but many of them are very close friends who have known each other for probably 20 years. Let's call the guy who runs the game Bill. Bill got married last year.
So his bachelor party was in Vegas, and he had about 8 or 9 friends come out (I was not one of them. No biggie, we're not that close. Just for clarification that I'm telling this story 2nd hand, but I heard it from several of the guys who went).
So the stingy guy in this story was a guy named Mitch. First act of stinginess was that the guys wanted to take a cab ride from the Trop intersection to the Flamingo intersection, but he refused to take a cab, which would have been probably 10 or 12 bucks, so with 4 guys in a cab, we're talking $3/person. He didn't want to pay that, so they all cabbed it and he walked, and they had to wait like 45 minutes for this ****ing guy before they could continue their night. They're much nicer friends than me, I wouldn't wait around for a prick like that. Then again I wouldn't have a prick like that at my bachelor party or in my life.
Another super stingy thing: they all went out for a "nice" dinner, and by nice, I mean about $25/person. When the bill comes, one of the friends suggests they take care of the bachelor's meal (why this wasn't discussed beforehand I'm not sure), so once again we're talking about $3 more per person. Well apparently Mitch refused to chip in and created a whole scene. God what a ****ing loser. Pisses me off just thinking about it. I'm glad I wasn't there because I would've gone off on this guy so hard about being the cheapest ****ing bastard in history.
Of course, he's still a regular in the game and a great friend of Bill because Bill has absolutely no spine.
