Well if someone does that to me, I usually won't call them back. I just say if it's important they'll ring me back...

Nope it's plain old lying, dishonesty, selfishness and greed rolled into one. Watch out for mates like that. They'll be doing the exact same thing to you, chumps.

That, my friend, is not a restaurant, it is a diner.

Having a chat about stingy people the other night and I was reminded of this one.
A friend of mine bought a house, he gutted the whole house and put new insulated slabs on the walls, he asked me would I do the plastering for him.
Bare in mind at this stage that, I'm a full time student and at the time I was working in the local shop too. I agreed to do the plastering for him in between going to college and working in the shop. Anyway I gave him a list of the material I needed to do the job and because I hadn't been plastering in a couple of years, I misjudged the amount of material I needed, I left myself short a bag of filler.
His father arrives in and I tell him, I need another bag. "how much will that cost?" "About €13" "Will you pick one up and I will give you the money for it tomorrow?" "No bother"
Following day he arrives in "How much was it?" "€13" "Have you the receipt?"
I couldn't believe my ears. I had to hand him the receipt before he gave me the money.
Anyway, I finished the job which would have cost in the region of €3000 for labour. I text my "friend" to tell him that the job was finished. I didn't want to be paid for it but I hadn't told him that, I was thinking, when he tries to give me money, I would just refuse it and tell him, he could buy me a pint.
2 weeks after I text him to tell him I was finished the job, I got a text saying thanks for doing the job and that was it, didn't offer me a penny and as I've said, I didn't want anything but it was the principal of not even offering.
I don't really associate with this guy anymore, miserable fcuker.

Around the part in bold I would have written "scabby ****" surrounded by swirls on the lovely smooth wall and let him pay another plasterer to fix it. At the very least you should go and p*ss in his letterbox, what a scabby scumbag. You're way better off not being friends with him.

There was this fella in collitch. He'd come in one day boasting that he got a cheque off his dad for 6,000e, or 16,000 I can't remember but it was a good bit. He'd show off this cheque to us, he got a couple of them throughout the year.

The same week he got the cheque he would come in a few days later saying 'has anyone got 2 cent, I need 2 cent to buy a bar of chocolate'. Other times it would be 10 or 20c he'd need to print pages (we had to pay to print stuff).

He'd regularly show his AIB online banking thing he'd be at it in the class and he'd start cribbing about how there was 'only _ euros in it' where _ was always a number between 4 and 20. The cheque would go into another account he didn't show us. He'd cribb about his lack of funds at every opportunity.

He had this ould heap of shoite of a car that hasn't seen a drop of maintainence since he got it. Engine is about to pack up cause it hasn't seen an oil change in 5 years. He ran this out of petrol several times

He dossed a whole week of college to save about 200e off a ticket even though he was way, way behind on everything.

This other lad gave him a load of lifts and actually spent a sh1tload of time helping him with all sorts of things, never gave him a cent for petrol or showed the slightest bit of appreciation.

Cheap earphones from Dealz were one of his favourites as well. He'd keep buying these even though they kept breaking instead of buying a proper pair.

There was other things he done as well, can't think of them now

[true]

at the canteen in work one of the lads always takes home a few sachets of sugar. He does not take sugar in his tea / coffee, but his wife does. Thats mean. It means she never has to buy a bag of sugar though.

O yah, he had this pair of white slippers that he claimed cost him 2e, but later that went up to 6e.

He wore those everywhere but they were no good unless it was dry. A drop of rain or standing in a puddle would destroy them. He couldnt walk on anything but a flat dry surface but that didnt bother him cause the slippers only cost him 2e

I googled collitch, thinking it was a place.

Anyway, I was working with a lad who was a member of the lunchbox brigade as he was too mean to go to shop. One day he arrives in for lunch with mouldy bread making up his sandwiches. When we pointed it out he said, "Sure if I just eat around it, it will be grand."

Another one was a story I heard about before I started working there. One of the lads wouldn't wash himself. The rest of them had to leave a bar of soap in the front of the van so he would get the hint. He'd take it home with him and come back in smelling a bit nicer.
