    They are unbelievable arseholes. I hate the smart responses they give, the first time I was given a smart reply when I said "no, sorry" I vowed never ever to give commission to them, it should be legal to punch them. Idiots.

    Great thread - been reading it all morning.

    At my mother's funeral, my uncle (who is a well known professor and minted) asked my father to refund his flight home from France for the funeral - £400 at the time.
    That was the last time any of us have spoken to him.

    A friend of mine, will get into rounds, knowing we all drink faster - when it comes close to his round he will step off and look after himself. We are all fed up with that one.

    My mate used to drink in the Pav (Trinity student bar) where they sold 6 cans of Bavaria for €8. He used to walk a mile down the round to buy his bavaria in another off licence then trek back because that off licence sold 6 for €7.

    I used to work with a guy - he retired about 6 months ago. He's not short of money by any stretch of the imagination and does some freelancey stuff when he's ar$Ed to get more money. He came in last week with a book on golf.... he then told us why... he was using the copier to copy the pages he was interested in and then giving the book to a friend as a birthday gift :eek:

    I can't understand this, with rounds politeness and manners go out the window, "get to the ****ing bar now" would be my repsonse.

    Well if he walked a mile he was an idiot, seeing as there are two offlicenses within 2-300 metres that sell 6 for 7.

    I know the area well. He walked a mile normally AFAIK.

    Walking 200 metres there, and 200 metres back to save a euro makes u a stingbag.

    :rolleyes:

    Who cares?

    1.6km = 1 mile
    1000 metres = 1 kilometre.
    1000ml = 1 litre.

    Wow, you're like SOOO intellectual.

    Where did I retract the mile? I walked it with him one. I'm not talking about the ones out beside the side gate, which are about 300-400 up the road (or 50 metres if u go to Pearse Street). It was out the other gate we went.


    There are more than 2 or 3 offies around Trinity, it's a big place.

    I know a guy who cycled from castlebar in mayo, to ennis in clare
    (a route that he would normally use the bus for) to avoid the extra charge that bus eireann have for carrying bikes in the luggage compartment.

    Thats around 150kms as far as i know...

    same guy would read this thread like an advice column.

    another guy in college used to drink the dregs at the late bar.
    half a mouthful of beer here, a bit of wkd blue there, a drop of vodka with a cigarette butt perchance...
    nasty ****.

    Also, you're not saving a euro. The pav was always 4 for 7.50/8.

    So in fact, he was saving himself somewhere in the region of 5 quid when you did the maths.

    In fact, he was making a saving of 1.25 for every hundred metres he had to walk.

    edit: oh, and furthest away offie (the one on the corner of Fenian St.) is 200m away. The other one is probably 100-150. Which would make it a saving of somewhere in the region of 2-2.50 saved for every 100 metres.

    double edit: and if you were heading out the front end of trinity, then I repeat: not stingy, just thick.

    Is that the packs of Bavaria with a RRP of €7 for 6 cans? If so, fair play to your man for going to the other shop, rather than pay out extra to the rip-off merchants! We're all fed up of being ripped off, but so few people will actually make a stand against it that this guy is being mocked for doing just that!

    My wallet became lost / stolen on holidays.
    Borrowed €200 from a 'friend'.
    Repayed him 2 weeks later but he claimed that I owed him €235.
    He reckoned that he'd taken the money out with his Visa card
    and that he'd worked out that the interest and charges amounted
    to something like €33.67 but that it was only fair to round it up to €35.

    IF he took it out with his VISA, and IF he had to pay charges for doing so, (assuming he told you this at the time) surely it's only fair that you don't expect him to take a loss himself for helping you? I'm not saying he should make a profit - that's wrong, but he shouldn't be out of pocket for it. One or two euro, and nobody would care, but €30-odd euro is a hit to take.
    Pay him what it cost him to take out the money for YOU to save YOUR holiday, and stop being stingy! :pac:

    No, he gave me the money out of his wallet and claimed later
    that he took money our with his Visa at a later date.
    Which would be strange as he had plenty of money in his bank account.

    If someone had payed ATM charges in the process of getting out money for me it would only be right to offer them €5 to cover it.

    Maybe other cards are different but with my cards you don't start to accrue interest until you owe money for at least a month.

    This guy just was terrified that he might end up out of pocket and went off trying to calculate charges based on APR, etc and came up with some ridiculous figure.

    On my Mastercard the interest on cash advances starts accruing immediately, and there's also a fee for having made the cash withdrawal, just a point to note

    I was working in a cafe during this summer. This man would come in the odd time,you know the type nobody really wants to serve,kind of weird.Well there was a table in the corner which one of the waitress' cleared,and knocked 2 euro off it in the process.(the cafe was empty at this time bar the man).I witnessed him put down his knife and fork,walk the opposite side of the restaurant and pocket the tip which had fallen(the waitress could not pick it up as she was carrying a try) as she stood over him.

    In the same restuarant,a customer was outraged one day as his portion of chips had 49 chips,and he had go 54 the previous time and was appalled that we could somehow charge the same price.

    The meanest person I ever met in my life was my ex. I met his family about nine months after meeting him. His sister & mother asked me did I not find him mean but it took me a while to see beyond the rose tinted glasses. His 3 brothers and his father on meeting me asked me "what the hell are you doing with him?" I was stunned but then got very wary & learned the biggest lesson of my life, he turned out to be such a louse I am mortified I ever went near him.
    He had his own loo roll in his room in his house share, in fact he never left a thing in the bathroom, that should have been a big warning....He rarely bought himself clothes if he did they had to be from the bargain basement & he'd wear them to the threads. I learned later he was spending his money on dope & E's & coke.
    He always ordered himself a pint & a whiskey when it was my round
    He never bought me birthday gifts he conveniently took a break around my birthday! No xmas cards, valentines was completely ignored until I encouraged for us to at least go to dinner, it was always dutch payment & I always paid over the odds be it into clubs, taxis, take aways etc.
    he turned up to my cousins wedding at 3 in the morning after not coming as my partner & partying in town all night and then accused me of snogging my Godsons buddy who was waiting in line to use a bathroom beside me. He "brought" me to the Aran Islands, he made me pay half the petrol & the ferry over. I thought we'd spend the 2 nights in a b&b or the hotel.......nope, I could'nt believe it when he was actually serious that we were to camp in a €7 a nite per person field, of course he needed an atm when the farmer called for the €14! It was easter, freezing, I had a badly sprained ankle & no power in my mobile....2 nights in hell. I noticed a girl I recognised in 3 of the bars we went to......he made sublte remarks about where a "friend" had told him to go while there, it turned out to be a girl he cheated on me with & there she was also in the Aran Islands at the same time. I nearly vomited. No point complaining, no ferry til the next evening so I made the most of it but lost ALL respect for him after that the KRUD!
    He dumped me a week before my finals with no warning and no explanation, no build up of rows. He just roared down the phone that he was on his way to see spiderman and would talk to me later...then had the cheek to ask 3 wks later after no contact how my results went! He came back a few months later & talked about patching things up & being sorry for all he did but forgot to tell me he had a new girlfriend
    He came to parties I was at , he rang & emailed me to follow his sisters travel blog......this is where I discovered his new girlfriend, who he was cheating on with me at the time) as there were notes from all the family & friends leaving comments on his new squeeze & she was on it too all lovey dovey......this is also where he had a connection to a woman he denied cheating on me with through the relationship but lo and behold there was her travel blog too and his sister & the new girlfriend all friends. The best is he mails me to announce that he got the new girlfriend pregnant after 3 months of dating her, I wish him well but am terribly upset.
    I find his yahoo answers page, it seems he wants to be found as he uses his common known email username... and he has awful things written about his new girlfriend......he wants to walk away......she is the anti christ...... he does'nt love her bla bla. He rings me up to say this also.
    The other day out of the blue, having not heard anything from the guy for months, no "how are you", no nothing, he sends me a video of the new girlfriend making the new baby laugh I am again stunned, the next day he sends me pictures of the baby. I never asked for this!!!
    I would'nt mind if we were friends but this guy was nothing but misery for me & now he thinks he's being generous by rubbing the kid & girlfriend God help her) in my face. He says "I thought you would like to see the video seeing as you work with kids", ??? So do you think I should send him a video of my new laptop with my new boyfriend lying beside it just cos he works with computers???
    I know now I was a fool for letting him use me & I regret how I took his word & trusted him, he was pretty good at lying, but talk about taking the absolute biscuit! I dont even know how people get to be like him. We both had good jobs but he had massive debt and a nasty drug habit as I discovered in the end. He said he would need a "sugar Mummy" because he'd probably never get approved for a mortgage due to bad credit, I used to think he was joking...but he's found her & her mortgage now even though he calls her & the new baby the antichrist. Lovely. Wonder how long it'll take him to do a runner? This guy is thirty eight yrs old, you would think he was 15 reading this would'nt you!
    Will NEVER get hoodwinked by a Stingy freakoid again in my entire life! He is the epitome of MEAN in every possible way you could imagine.

    When I read posts like the one above I am at a complete loss to understand why a woman would stay with a loser like that.
    It does seem to happen though, again and again and again.

    Who was the guy like?
    He must have been totally burnt out.
    Holding down a job, three girlfriends and all the while keeping a few different drug habits going.

    During my poverish college days i was going out with a girl. It was a saturday night and i explained to her i had no money to go out so she suggested she come over to mine and we stay in watch a video and have a few cans,, grand me thinks.
    She arrives and we go to the off licence , i didnt buy anything but she states "not to worry" . Anyway she buys 4 cans of Bulmers and i have just enough to buy a packet of popcorn.
    Back at my place i was waiting on "heres a can" ,,, but it never came !! she continued to drink the 4 cans of bulmers watching a video while she dipped her hand into my popcorn!!! (oh yeah on her 3rd can she did ask me if i wud like a sip !!)

    Cause women are weird. They could be gettin 7 shades of sh!t slapped out of them by their bf. Try and intervene and youre the one suddenly gettin your eyes scratched out by her. Weirdos:mad: (not based on personal experience but ive seen it from the tree)

    I know, it happened me before when I tried to intervene when I saw a fella hit his missus on Abbey Street.
    I didn't hit the bloke, I just pushed him against a wall to try to calm him down.
    Next thing his missus jumped on my back and started screamin "leave him alone, you'll kill him".
    What can you do?
    It wouldn't be nice to walk away and read in the papers the next day about a woman getting beaten to death on Abbey Street.
    I suppose it worked really as my actions distracted them from fighting each other and they went off together happy enought.

    RE the bloke in the previous posts.
    Was he really stingy?
    If I was sustaining 3 drug habits and 3 girlfriends I recokon I'd be budgeting pretty tightly too.

    Why has this not been stickied yet?

    I have another little anecdote to add...

    I organise a weekly kickabout on the local all-weather pitch. One particular guy, who I have mentioned in previous rants in this thread, never pays his share of the cost of the facility.

    Either he gets a sub from someone who doesn't know about his tricks or he hands the person collecting the money a handful of change that comes to about a euro.

    I remember Dublin were playing Cork years and years ago in Croke Park, 2 Cork lads were looking for a ticket, some guy offered them spares at face value. The Cork lads tried to haggle him down saying it was close to kick off and so on, so the seller got fed up after about 30 seconds, tears up the tickets in front of them and throws the remains in the air and walks off.

    Brilliant. The face on them.

    I hate mean people.

    The really, really mean kind who always missed their round even before the R word was mentioned. The kind who always sit on their hands when the charity box went around the office.

    My favourite was a friend of a friends Dad who had two TVs on top of each other. Because one had no sound and the other had no picture :pac:

    So whats the worst you've ever heard?

    The worst of all ,is this girl in our job that scrounges in the staff canteen.Her husband is loaded and she is quite high up in our organisation,they live in a huge house,drive top of the line cars and she wears top of the range clothes .In the canteen she will buy slices of bread with a free tea and ask the other people at the table for items off their plates "just to make a sandwich"Are you going to eat all those chips?,are you finished with that meat?etc,etc.If you leave anything on your plate she will ask to finish it.Just before christmas she asked one of the girls was she finished with her half eaten cereal.She just handed it over as she was put off ,by her watching her eat.(by the way this girl is as thin as a rake,i don't think its an eating disorder its down to not wanting to spend money).
    She found out that one of the girls had a sister(with staff discount) in a shoe shop down the country,and drove down to avail of the discount.
    She asked one of the new girls in the job would she babysit her kids(no money involved)since she had let slip at the table she had no plans for the weekend.You could actually make a tv programme about her.People go on break with her to see what she will do next.

    I gave a friend €2 once to get me a drink in the shop. I wanted a bottle of coke, and I said she could keep the change.

    She came back with a 50 cent score bottle, and nabbed the €1.50!


    I didn't really complain, rather applauded her for such a job well done.

    Once, while i was on the bus, i overheard two young lads(probably in secondary school), goin on how they had no money for drink this coming friday(alcohol, obviously). One of them suggested they do a "collection". Intrigued, i followed them off the bus for a bit. They went up to someone holding a collection bucket for the disabled who was apparently their friend and asked if they cold borrow his bucket. Again, i followed them to a corner of a street where they almost forced the money out of an old man's pocket, saying they were collecting money "for the victims of 9/11"-it was practically robbery. Disgusted, I approached them and questioned their "motives". One of them immediately produced a knife and told me to "donate" or i would soon be a victim of something else. I backed away onto the main street where there where lots of people and they soon backed away into an alley like a couple of snakes. This immoral and macabre display has stuck with me as a shining example of how most of today's teenagers are egotistical and corrupt-and for that they deserve something i rarely give out: FIVE frowny faces:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: also one for the poor man:(
