that's the point.

I was in line at a Fedex Kinkos in Scottsdale, AZ yesterday waiting to drop off a couple express envelopes...

Girl in front of me (smoking hot) is at the register....asks for help fitting some books into a Fedex box...

Guy weighs it, asks do you need it next day? girl says yes...guy says "that'll be 35 bucks", girl says "wait i thought this was free?"

"free? no fedex is a business, we charge for shipping"
"oh, jeez I didnt even bring any cash I thought it was free to mail stuff"

I obviously started cracking up, and the girl turns around, calls me an *******, and walks out. The Fedex guy wasn't even phased, which I thought was the weirdest part...

whoosh

Not really "stingy" per se, but when I was de-boarding from a long international flight a few years ago, I noticed my friend was saving the plastic cups that came with the meal they served on the plane for later use.

reusing cond0ms...

My roommate just moved out and took -everything- that was hers.

We noticed when we went to wash our plates off and the dish soap that was 70% used was gone.

Really? Hope you enjoy that 10 cents worth of soap.

lol.

Some people I know just download music and movies for free - sometimes even watching crappy bootleg versions - instead of paying.

OOT, you be the judge:

tonight, at a college basketball game, they announce that there's a promotion going on with your ticket stubs. Bring your ticket stub to xxxxx, get a free 1/2 pound of wings with purchase of a drink. I'm at the game on a student ticket, which means I had no physical ticket because they just scanned my student ID card.

After the game I waited a few minutes, and then spent a few minutes browsing my section for dropped tickets. I found a couple, and picked them up so I could use the coupon.

Overly stingy or reasonable?

one time I was eating with an acquaintance at a restaurant. I had only one thing, 3 tacos which was about 6 bucks. the dumbass who I was with had 2 things, sweet potatoes fries which was 6 and a tofu pesto sandwich which was 7.

we got the bill and we both looked at it. he says to me "tip 2 dollars." which is a big tip for what i had but I didn't mind because she forgot to add in my $5 beer. the best hefiwizen i've ever had.

I get up and start leaving.. I already had the feeling of what he was up to. I look back and my suspicion was right. ******* had only left $1 tip for himself and combined it with my $2.

what a complete low level douchbag. who does that??! what kind of **** would do that?

Nah not overly stingy. A meh situation as best.

The other night I forgot my "insert supermarket name" card on my keychain and the guest services was closed. I never linked this up to my ph# and the cashier was a total ^itch and didn't have an extra behind the register to swipe. So I made a lap around the store, and memorized the guy's ph# in front of mine and then used it when I checked out. I never need that card again.

i wouldn't do it, and would laugh aloud if i saw you doing it - but it's not the worst thing i've seen

but i'm very anti-coupon

standard imo

all the students have to do this now after gt football games to get into the cheetah since they got rid of actual tickets this year

This reminds me of Tom Arnold in True Lies. He's talking about how his ex-wife left him and took everything out of the house including the ice cube trays. He says "What kind of sick bitch takes the ice cube trays?" It's great.

My old roommate and I were coming back from a hockey game (good seats, $60 each) and decided to pick up some beers on the way home. Buying beers was an often enough occurrence that we just alternated who paid. It was my turn, I paid and got 10c in change. As we were walking out of the liquor store I put the dime in my pocket. Forgot that there was a hole in that pocket (lol already stingy on my part for not buying a new ****ing pair of pants) and it fell right through. I said "oops", looked down, then just got in the car and started it up. My friend asked me what happened and I told him I dropped the dime on the ground. He proceeded to unbuckle his seatbelt, get out of the car, walk around to my side and pick up the dime. I calmly put the car in gear and drove home. 15 min later I had just polished off my 2nd beer and he walks in. I congratulate him on working for 40c an hour.

most dickwad thing you've done is a different thread

Yeah maybe. It was just absurd after easily spending $80+ each for a hockey game plus ~$20 on beers he was content to waste both our time on less than .1% of the total cost of the night. It was probably also a little spite from all the other nickel and dime **** he would pull.

If I had a dime for every time I read a stupid post in OOT...

No...

One the other hand you got $11 worth of food and he got $13. Yet you got out of there paying $8 and he paid $14. Since you got a freebie via luck you might have offered to cover the whole tip.

UPSIDE DOWN QUESTION MARK THING!

absolutely not. what seems infinitely more douchey is making people pay for drinks at your wedding.

cliffs:

he owes $20
HE loses key, gets more cut.
he expects you to cover some of cose.

Your roommate is a stingy douche.

my old roommate took the shower curtain and bath floor mats when he moved. they were used for like 6 months.

p.s. he paid for them. which means i think he should be thrown down the well with the rest of them
