That's pretty stingy, but how is this obvious?

Because she's apparently not a very intelligent person.

I once saw a bumper sticker on a Prius which said: "Draft behind me so we can save gas together!"

There is a point of diminshing returns for gas prices, where you cost yourself more money by driving around looking for gas thats a few cents per gallon cheaper, or driving to the cheaper gas station that's farther away than you save buy buying the cheaper gas. This is especially true if you put any value on your time.

what does the rest of the things have to do with it, it was this event that dids was reacting to, it doesnt change if he has done stingy stuff in the past. I can actually relate because my non-gambler friends think of my poker winnings still as some kind of lottery score and that I should pay them **** and they wont have to pay me stuff just because I have a good day.

If you work 2 hours extra at your job do you friends not pay their share of the gas with you? SORRY MAN YOU MADE SUCH SICK LOOT AT WORK TODAY!

oh yea that tilts me so hard as well, my friends all earn 3k a month, while im a busto student who grinds poker, whenever i cash like 1k in a donkament every 2-3 months im supposed to pay everyones drink for a week because "you won the money anyway so u can share it" otherwise im being called nitty all day long.

Sounds like the very definition of stingy to me. Certainly moreso than the several posts ITT that are outright stealing, rather than stinginess.

so next time you have a losing day ask them to buy you a drink. when they say no, problem solved

or just stop telling them about your donkament scores

I am sorry ahnuld but logic doesn't work with these people

Fixed

My mum does that, only she does not use a knife and just breaks it in half in a second. Dishes are all perfectly clean. Maybe she's just super-mum, I don't know.

I don't think that is stingy at all. She also never wash plates before putting them in the dishwasher as that would actually cost more than not having a dishwasher or just using the dishwasher. She had the machine for years and still no dirty plates.

I went out for drinks with my best friend and a load of his friends from work who I had never met. When we walked into the bar, to avoid getting the round in, half of the group went to the toilet and the other half just started staring at the ceiling so in dismay I went and got 4 pitchers of beer for the first round.

One by one the pitchers were emptied and one by one so were glasses and one by one the eyes started searching for the ceiling again. The group sat there showing off their necks for 10 minutes before I had had enough and went home.

Old guy owns a house across the street from my bar & grill. When he gets done working around his yard he comes over and washes his hands in our bathroom so he can save on his water bill. I found this out because he told another customer who told me. LOL.

You should have just stayed and stared at them. You probaly don't want to hang out with such a nitty group but I would atleast get some of my beer back before going home angry.

Going home angry sucks,
going home buzzed and angry sucks less.

Yeah, I would have bought a pint for myself or something. These people who you do not know expect you to supply them alcohol for the night? **** that.

^^ I actually like that, should get the point across

**** that. come back with a pitcher in each hand and start double fistin it. like someone earlier said i've never been into the whole buying rounds thing. if i'm out with just one or two good buddies i will buy a round for us right when we get there and not even expect reciprocation but when i'm out with a whole group of people there's no ****in way i'm droppin 60-80 bucks on a round of shots or jaegerbombs or some ****. there's always at least one guy who is a mooch in every group. and if you're with women? don't even get me started.

Rounds are for everyone knows each other and groups < 7. If your group is bigger than that, split the group.

Most of my friends were pretty big nits/cheapskates in college, but we've all outgrown it. There were 6 of us that lived in a huge house and we got all nitty about food and sharing bills and stuff from time to time.

I am embarassed to admit that I once drew fill lines on the side of my milk to make sure nobody else was drinking it. Of course that prompted one of my friends to drink the milk most of the way down and refill it with water to the fill line.

The same guy, however, once tried to steam a used stamp off an envelope and use it to pay one of our common bills. The envelope was obviously returned and it made our bill late. lol.

****ing embarassing. None of us were even close to poor, really. We all had cars and were going to an expensive private university. I think you just feel as though you have to be a stingy nit when you're a "poor college student."

Thankfully now we're all much more generous. The same friend from the previous stories came into town a couple years ago and took a bunch of us out to sushi. We offered to pay for his meal of course but he insisted on paying for everyone else instead.

Not super stingy, just nitty and tilts me. Roomate in college was super stingy, now 5 years later he has a good job making ~$80k a year. He still has the same mattress from probably his youth. He let a mutual couple we know spend the night on it one night. They both said the mattress was the biggest POS the ever seen and had about a 3 foot drop in the center where both people just rolled into each other and had to sleep like that all night.

Upon making fun of him, he said "When its only me its just fine". And this comes from a guy who complains of back problems and about girls never going past one night stands.

LOOL I can't believe I forgot about this. I know a guy that used to do this. His food of choice was obv ramen noodles and that's what he had for dinner 7 days/week.

I think stinginess involving poor college students or old people who gre up through very tough times should be omitted. I mean when you're cheap out of necessity shouldn't be compared to cheapness when one obviously makes a good and comfortable living.

Saw a woman in the bulk food section of the store shelling pistachio nuts and throwing the shells BACK in the bin so the bag wouldn't weigh as much.....

Well tbh none of us were nearly poor enough to warrant that behavior.

My friends were good enough to give me an enormous amount of good-natured **** over the milk-line incident (in addition to filling my milk up with water), and I realized how lol cheap it was and never did it again obv.

As mentioned, they were a bunch of cheap bastards just like me, so everything was A-ok.

That reminds me I waited on Ice Cube one time. His girlfriend ordered the fruit plate, at all the cantaloupe, then complained about the rest and got her money back. I took the plate back and she hadn't touched any of the other fruit. I'm pretty sure she just wanted the cantaloupe. The Predator was the number one album in the country at the time.

This reminded me of a few times when someone wants to get a round of shots and they ask everyone "do you want one" as if they're only counting how many to get but when the shots are delivered they're like "ok everyone pitch in $6." I always wtf at this ****, first of all I don't prefer shots and second if I do I would rather pick my own than what ever crap the other person usually suggests. I always thought the whole point of a round of shots like this was to celebrate something and that the person ordering them pays.
