The price incorporates shipping costs and the weight of the peel likely represents a decent fraction of that, so pre-peeling doesn't seem ok to me.

VR,

Do you think you could be led into a comical, Bugs Bunny-esque, swinging-from-a-sapling-by-one-leg type situation, given the right trail of posts about wedding/relationship crises, foodie issues, and the sexual habits of unusual young men?

How much are we supposed to tip Yeti if he has to ban people?

18%?

ok i did just delete about 30 posts on tipping, inc two made immediately after i posted that i guess didn't see my post (sorry cardo)

Yeti,

Well, what do you think?

This seems like stealing to me. But then again I once tore off the stupidly large top of a bunch of carrots before buying them, and I'm not sure I can make a rational distinction. So yeah I'm a hypocrite.

0% he's euro and gets paid well by mgmt duh.

I don't know nearly enough about food to follow the foodie line. Better to sprinkle the path with wedding situations. I have an almost insatiable lust for them, a host of accompanying stories, and a closet full of hideous uncomfortable dresses to wear to my captivity.

As vices go it's fairly harmless. At least I'm not in the habit of google searching my screen name which I recently learned some people do.

Huh. I imagine the Latin cashew industry is gonna crush me but let's have a run at it.

Want a Big Mac but don't want to pay 5$ for one? Order a double cheeseburger (1.29) and ask for it dressed like a mac (30 cents).

Toilet paper running low? Go down to the nearest starbucks, hit the free bathroom, load up your backpack with all the toilet paper under the counter.

Renting a place without a washing machine? Put your clothes in the tub, cover them in detergent and swirl em around while you take a shower.

Pretty standard one here. Hungry but don't have any money? Go to a fast food joint, pick a bill out the the garbage or off the ground outside and go inside claiming they messed up your order etc. No arguing is standard policy at most places. I had a friend try this once however at a KFC. Walked in claimed he only got 12 / 15 pieces of his chicken when he came through the drive through. The girl behind the counter responded by telling him they didn't have a drive through.

Local movie theater offer free refills on popcorn or soda? Buy it once and reuse it every time you go. If they mark the bottom with a mark (One free refill), use nail polish remover to remove it. Alternatively if you don't feel like paying for even the one. Go to the garbage can outside of the individual screen rooms and grab a bag and cup out of there. Go to the bathroom, rinse it all out and wash it off. Then go get your free refill.

You can collude with 2 like minded friends and only order 2 tickets for all three of you to see a film. First two go in with tickets past the ticket checker. One friend comes out with both tickets and give the friend who is not already in the other ticket.

SO
TILTING

want a new car but don't have enough money? sneak into a lot after close, hotwire it and drive away. short on cash? put a gun in a teller's face and ask for some. stingy!

A guy I grew up was/is a massive hump. When he was a kid if he had a packet of sweets he'd stash them in his pocket and take them out one at a time and put them in his mouth when nobody was looking. If anyone spotted what he was doing and asked him for one, he would claim that his mother gave them to him for his dinner and that he wasn't allowed to share them!

I don't think you know what this thread is about.

numbers 2 4 5 6 are all just stealing

Stealing is OK when you're poor though! And you really want to see Scary Movie 4.

they have also all been posted in another thread before

the first and only time i did two movies with one ticket was in grad school

40 year old virgin followed by red eye

i do not regret it

.

What is more tilting than the tipping posts and the stingy people themselves are the posts about stealing.

Seriously people it's not hard to figure out what is STEALING and what is being stingy/frugal.

Them asking if the apartment was "still occupied" was probably just their polite way of looking into the situation to determine if you were perhaps rolling back the water meter or if it was malfunctioning. Asking if it was still occupied is the more polite and less accusatory way of going about it and trying to figure out if they're dealing with some sort of zealot. I'm guessing they have to deal with the occasional super-stubborn dude who tries to roll back the meter because he doesn't think he should have to pay for water. And if you said that your water consumption was totally normal (ummm...I shower for 10 minutes everyday.") and you didn't know what they were talking about then they would more thoroughly check out the meter.

FYP

My grandfather built a new house on his property and gave my aunt and uncle the old house. The new house was built where the old driveway was. Rather than pay to have a new driveway installed, for more than 35 years they parked in my grandfathers driveway and walked across the lawn to their house.

They never bought a washer and dryer but instead carried their dirty laundy over to my grandfathers house (even trampng through snow drifts in the winter) and used his machines and electricity.

In the late 70's electric bug zappers were popular for controlling backyard mosquitos. My uncle bought one but instead of plugging it into his own outlet he ran a 200 foot extension cord to my grandfathers house.

That's why you don't subsidize lazy, good-for-nothing kids. They'll never stop being losers.
