Some of them I view as more douchey/psychotic and unethical than "stingy" though. I understand including them in this thread as opposed to just a general 'douchey behavior' thread. But trying to get refunds on things you never paid for or taking out the good fruit and then returning the unused portion I would never initially think of as being stingy really. That seems way too mild a term for that type of unethical behavior.
The guy who gets in line twice to pay for his Little Debbies on his credit card and save a penny cracked me up and also probably wins the actual "stingy" award for me without crossing over into completely inappropriate behavior (stupid and douchey...but not completely unethical like some of the other stories).
