    Reminds me of the time when i was on the Dart and it ran over someone. there was two seperate people giving out that it was making them late when the train stopped wait for the gards. I even heard one old fucker say 'you wouldnt want to be on your way to a wine tasting'

    To hell with that. I've been stuck on DART for hours because some selfish prick decided to top himself. If you're going to traumatise a driver and delay thousands of people, don't expect any sympathy.

    Yeah, but below the boiling point, considering it's in a bottle, the air around the liquid's surface will quickly saturate with vapour and then evaporation will slow enormously.

    Yes it would slow but apparently we're talking about a period of a year. And regardless the fact remains that the bottles wouldn't have to be stored at the boiling point of alcohol for it to evaporate. Water vapour can exist at 0 degrees.

    I knew this Scottish fella once and he picked up a fiver off the ground. Sure, it's okay for any other nationality but if your f*ckin' Scottish you're just playing into the f*ckin' stereotype.

    What a f*ckin' st*ngey pr*ck, t*ght c*nt!

    Another time I was in Amsterdam and this homeless guy walked by me at a bus stop and picked up a tomato off the ground and ate it.

    T*ght f*ckin' b*llocks! Go to a f*ckin' s*up f*ckin' k*tchen ya st*ngey c*nt!

    That also reminds me of my gr*nddad who is so f*ckin' t*ght that once the t*ght f*ckin' pr*ck smoked a f*ckin' ciggarette right down to the f*ckin' f*lter! What a f*ckin' pr*ck of an old f*ckin' b*llocks. And it's not like he's short of a few q*id cos I happen to know he has a p*nsion and his m*rtgage is paid off.

    I know this other fella that hangs around in f*ckin' Spars on the hour so he can l*sten to the news on the f*ckin' r*dio and not have to p*y for the electricity to power his own radio or T.V. And I wouldn't mind on the t*ght c*nt has a 37 inch T.V.

    I know this other f*ckhead that gives money to charity so that he can claim tax relief. St*ngey w*nkin' bastard.

    That f*ckin' Scottish *sshole I mentioned earlier also once flew with Ry*nair instead of f*ckin' A*r Lingus just to f*ckin' save €20.00! What a t*ght f*ck. Fair enough if he was Ir*sh but did I mention this f*cker was Scottish?! C*NT!

    Just remembered one guy that came into me in work one day, a Wednesday.

    He ordered a snack box and drink, which is about 7 quid. I punched it in, told him the price and stuck the drink on. He searched through his pockets and had only coppers so said he didn't want it. I said that was fine and that was that. He then asked me for one piece of chicken and chips, which was 4 euro. I told him the price. He then started saying he didn't get paid til the next day so I HAD to give him the food now and then he'd come in and pay me tomorrow.

    I refused politely, telling him my stock and till would be short and I'd get in trouble, at which point he started giving out to me. I told him again that that wasn't possible, and I continued with my work. He refused to move from my till for about 5 minutes, just stood there staring at me. :eek: When he finally realised that I really wasn't going to give him free food, he shouted at me to get the manager. Tried the same spiel on the manager to no avail. Then spent about 10 more minutes standing staring at me, until I signalled for the security guard to remove him from the property.

    This guy was hardly poor, he had on a silver watch, Nike runners and fancy jeans!

    Went for a pint last night with a fairly good friend of mine who I hadn't seen since Christmas, as he lives abroad.

    Apparently I owed him a pint from the last time.

    He's known for it amongst our group of friends. If we were to go for a few pints, and I'd buy the first round, he'd say "will we leave it at that?" after 3 or 5. On the rare occasion he'd get the first ones in he'd say the same after 4 or 6. Sound guy, stingy ****er

    .....what? His parents weren't married when he was born, so it's not offensive.

    Actually, don't get me started on his p*rents.

    highly embarrassing as its a family member. She is an OAP so has the free bus pass, she was doing some shopping in town (in dublin for the country folk that hate when people say town = Dublin) and bought a can of peas, when she got home, she popped into the local shop, she noticed a can of peas for 2c less, so back into town she went to get a refund on the original can of peas she bought!!

    There's only one way to be sure, an experiment. I maintain that it would take boiling temperatures to evaporate all the alcohol and that at room temperature in a bottle, only a very low percentage would evaporate.

    I care. I'd rather they killed themselves in a way that didn't leave an elaborate mess that will costs hundreds of thousands to clean up. If the person doesn't think their life is worth living, then I don't think it's worth my time waiting for the clean up. They're gone, no more worries, but I still have stuff to do.

    It wasn't. It was reported as an accident in the paper, as so many Irish suicides are, but it wasn't.

    The more important variable is if the cap was left on the old bottles. If the cap is still there then the alcohol has nowhere to go but evaporate and condense again. If the cap is missing then it will eventually evaporate away.

    Perfume relies on airflow to cause evaporation of the solvent. In addition, perfumes tend to have lots of alcohol and not very much water, which means a protective layer of water vapour is unlikely to form. In addition, in the short term, evaporation cools the entire liquid, slowing evaporation again. On top of this, nearly empty spirits bottles have a lot of cool surface area for the alcohol vapour to condense upon before it leaves the bottle. As I said, the only way to be sure is to do an experiment, which I will do if I can get my hands on a refractometer.

    now i do have complete sympathy for the family of the person who decided to kill themselves, and i do feel very sorry that the person felt their lives were so crap that they needed to kill themselves, but i can completely understand the other side of the argument.

    i was on the tube (london underground fyi) coming back from the o2 (went to see the spice girls reunion their few yrs ago) when someone chucked themselves under the tube. we didn't know this at first, we were just stopped in this tunnel at half eleven at night, with announcements that their was a delay and we would be going soon. eventually got told we would be there for a while cos someone had committed suicide. we were stuck in that tunnel til one am, and then had to continue our journey (we were going to the end of the line). didn't get back to our hotel til gone 2am

    Bloody hell, there's fair stingyness with a bit of compassion on this thread. To all you people complaining about the train suicides, what if that was your mother or father or son/daughter that decided to end their own lives? If waiting a few minutes pi$$es you off, imagine how tormented those suicide victims felt that they deliberately ended it all!

    But I don't know them. So all they are to me is a delay in my travel. Of course it is going to annoy me.

    Back on topic, I used to live with one guy who wouldnt buy washing up liquid. If anyone else bought it he would use it so it wasn't that he didnt like the taste or anything, he was just too tight to buy it himself.

    What scent/taste? If you rinse it off you don't taste anything. You are obviously using the cheaper stuff and not Fairy Liquid (TM).

    this happened eighteen years ago,
    i was new to gardening, so one day i bought about one hundred daffodills they were on offer for a fiver, when on my way home from town i picked up a neighbour, the neighbour saw the daffs and made the comment i bought alot, home i got and planted the bulbs in batches of ten, while speaking with neighbour on way home i told them that i would plant them straight away,
    and while speaking to the neighbour i told them i had a doctors appointment at eleven o clock which was two hours drive from me the following day, well the following day early i got a call to say that i should not come in but leave it for the following day, so i slept in until ten got up made me some tea, while in my slippers walking around house as i was not feeling great it was misty outside, when i looked out window, who was there but said neighbour with a childs spade and bucket digging up all i had planted, i was raging of course, but held my breadth and watched quietly as i had mesh curtains to look through, so a day later when i cooled down, i decided to buy double the amount of daffs and put them in to where i had originally put them, i can only emagine what thee neighbour must of thought when they saw i had double the amount come up when they had not let a bulb there in the first place, to this day i have never said a word about this to anyone nor the neighbour, i would not mind but they knew i was fairly ill in the first place, that is what my good deed got me in picking them up and bringing them home in the first place, but i did and could not trust the person again

    I work on tills. One day had no pennies left in my till. Ladies book came to €15.99, she gave me €20 and I gave her back an even €4. She said, wasn't the change supposed to be €4.01.

    She made me call a manager to open the other till to give her back her penny.

    you see, that when i came round from the shock of neighbour digging up my bulbs, i thought i would have a bit of fun and plant double in each hole so that they would be shocked, as to whether they let some there, or that i had them copped
    I wouldn't have let that lie.

    I'd imagine if he heard you were going to hospital for a week he would ransack your house.

    If people don't want to read the thread any more then quietly unsubscribe and move on to the next one. No more bitching please.
    A round of posts deleted.
    Now please back to the stingy, mean, miserly cheapness.

    The trick is to ask the cashier for 2c and say you'll owe them one. :D

    As one of friends says, it's not the principle, It's the money :)

    Back in the mists of long ago when I shared a house with other students we took it in turns to buy stuff we all used like the milk, sugar etc and when it came to one fella's turn for the sugar he went around all the local cafes making out in each one that he was looking for someone and taking a handful of sugar sachets each time, he did the same with ketchup. Although we all used to help ourselves to toilet roll from the pubs.

    If she had €15.98 even, would you have sold the book to her?

    it was still her cent, could you have given her two cent change, rather than lose a customer, after all i am sure there is a nice little profit made in the book at that anyway

That night a text went out to all asking if anyone took his 3 cans home by accident!!!!
