Stingiest thing you've seen stingy people do

I was at a party yesterday, met up with a stingy cow who is friends with friends and whom I regrettably meet fairly often, but she is someone who I tend to avoid like the plague because of her renowned stinginess.
Yesterday was a prime example, she shows up at the Bar-B-Q with a half pound pack of cheap sausages, nobody ate them so she took them home. she also arrived with a cheap bottle of wine that had been previously opened, then proceeded to drink and eat all around her, got sick and came back for more.
Late in the evening she gave me a bollocking about not offering her a lift to the funeral of a mates father who passed away 3 weeks ago. His removals were on the Friday and the burial on the Saturday, a few people drove down from Dublin on Friday and she took a lift with them, return Dublin to Galway, she never offered a penny for petrol. So I said I was working and could only make the burial on Saturday and and I asked her:
"What's the difference between going on Friday or Saturday, sure you got to express your sympathies, and you got there and back anyway".
Her reply:
"Yeah, but we just went there and back, we got no food as it was evening time, you got a dinner after the burial on Saturday, we actually had to buy our own food on the way back!"
"No, we didn't stay for food, had a pint in the pub with Martin and left, we got lunch in Athlone on the way back."
"Jesus, you some eejit that you didn't insist on getting a lunch."
She actually said this to a few people, seems her idea of going to a funeral is to get free food. One of her work colleagues said that she often does this, insists on permanently getting food after going to funerals of family of people she hardly knows.
Her stinginess is legendary, about 20 of us went to Westport for a weekend a couple of years ago, kitty was €100 a head to pay for the three houses, diesel, breakfast food and snacks. She came along with us, which I din't want, missed out on rounds all weekend and at the end of it when we were collecting the cash she said she didn't have the €100 even though I had seen her getting it out of the ATM in Westport. She said she'd give it back during the week which means never, so I stopped at the toll on the M4 in Enfield and threw her out of the car along with her bags unless she paid the €100, she coughed it up quick enough. She complains later that as my car was a diesel and more economical she should have to pay a bit less than those in the other cars.
A guy who grew up near her in Kilkenny used to bring her up and down at the weekends from where they were working in Dublin, literally door to door. She never offered him a cent or a pint. when he suggested it once her reply was that she shouldn't have to pay as she knows the way and can show him!
I fcuking hate the sight of her. It really is a psychological condition with some people.
Does she actually have any friends?

Does she actually have any friends?
This is the part I can never understand, why people even include these scabs in anything. When we moved into our house we had a housewarming/barbecue and all the invitees brought drink, food or a token gift except one couple from my wife's work (minted, multiple properties, new cars) who arrived with hands hanging and literally barged people out of the way and ploughed into the drink and food from the second they arrived.
As they lived close to us we also made the mistake of going with them for a drink one sunny afternoon. I bought the first round which we all polished off fairly quickly but we were all sitting there silently with virtually empty glasses for 15 minutes at least until he finally cracked under the pressure and opened his wallet. I often wonder if they would have taken another drink if I'd have offered. We made an excuse and left, and didn't go near them again.
One thing I've noticed is that these people don't ever have any shame in their behaviour. The guy from work I mentioned earlier was often told, directly to his face in public and in work, to f**k off and stop leeching off people when he tried his tricks but treated it as a joke.

Aren't you the stingy one, wanting more than two slices of something your wife was craving forThe wife is pregnant at the minute and my mother made us a home made apple pie, now she would be the complete opposite to stingy before this but put it in the press before a friend arrived so she wouldnt have to give her any, think i got 2 slices while she ate the rest, she said it was the nicest thing she had eaten in ages
if it's the first grandchild and then it's a safe bet that the pie wasn't intended to be wasted on the likes of you0 -

Stand at the back of a very very very very long queue. When she showed up at the party yesterday there was an almost audible sigh of despair going around.Is this one of the Flynns ? If so that explains a lot.
No, we just went there for the weekend for a change, two of our mates were going to France working on contract for a couple of years so it all tied in.Does she actually have any friends?
She has housemates who have seemingly gotten used to her so they just put up with her. She is also a HR manager in a company where a few friends work so they put up with her. I hate her with a passion and have let her know it on several occasions.
She showed up at a Bar-B-Q in our gaff last year, loads of people there, three grills on the go, loads of food. Comes empty handed of course, ate loads and near the end of the evening she starts to pack uneaten food into bags (not a bag, the plural: bags). When asked what she is doing she said it's for her dog, then someone said.
"You don't have a dog?"
"I'm getting one next week."
"A puppy."
"Eh..... yes".
"Ah well he won't be able to eat that, we'll take it up to the Cats & Dogs Home in Rathfarnham." (Took the bag off her)
I thought she died a bit inside when the bag was taken off her. We split it amongst those who do have animals, everything was fecked in together so we couldn't eat it cold the next day ourselves.
She shared a house (4 together) with a girl I was going out with for a while, she would sit in the sitting room at night pretending to read so when the ESB or gas bill arrived she would try to pay 1/6th or 1/5th of it as she used less electricity than the others saying she was always downstairs in common areas and never in her room with the light on. also claimed not to watch the TV so she wouldn't have to pay electricity for that. She would wear the others down so much they would give in. problem was the house was a good price, excellent Landlord and in a good spot for work so the others put up with it.
She would bring up loads of veg from her farm on a Sunday evening, tell the others they could have some, then a month later try to knock the price of this off any major bills such as TV licence. Note that the veg was transported free from Kilkenny to Dublin in some one elses car (see post above).
One of the girls was working in Belfast for 3 days, she took an order of booze from the other girls for when she was coming back off the girls in the house, Miss Stinge went online, then gave her a shopping list for over €150 for stuff thats way cheaper in N.I. than here, she was politiely declined.
Ordered a small salad in a restaurant when a few of us went out to an Italian, then tried to get as much "to taste" off everyone else, took about 50% of my mates T-bone steak, when he tried to get it back she took a bite out of it then said "It's contaminated by my germs now" so he shouldn't have it back. I told her I'd stick the fcuking knife in her mouth if she tried the same on me, which kind of ruined the night for us all.
I could go on and on. I just despise the woman and all like her.0 -

I don't know why I even want to know this
I played with the idea of asking that, didn't bother though as regardless of her good looks it would be spoilt by her attitude.
Still though....... is she hot? :cool:0 -

There was a sweet shop next to our school when we were children. The Viking News on Barrack Street in Waterford for anyone that remembers.
Anyway the fella running it was a stingey old bastard. When I was a child I used to read the Beano and the Dandy most weeks, and sometimes they would come with a free packet of sweets or something sello-taped onto them. I remember one week I went in there and on the Beano it said "free packet of refreshers" or something like that and a little designated space on the front page where the packet of sweets were meant to be. I was only 8 or 9 but I knew exactly what had happened, so I took a closer look and sure enough you could see the little bits of damaged paper on every Beano where the shopkeeper had peeled off the sellotape. I then went to look at the refreshers at the counter and hey presto, a lot of them had little tears from where the sellotape had been peeled off them too. I said fcuk it, and said it to the fella who ran the place, asked him where the refreshers were because they were meant to come with the Beano, he just said "oh there's no free sweets with that comic" and when I pointed out the words "free packet of refreshers" he just said oh that's a mistake or something like that. Miserable old fcuker.
I actually got great consolation from the fact that a few years later when we were about 12/13, a lot of the lads used to go into the same shop and absolutely fleece it blind. It's not justifiable of course, and I never once stole anything from there myself, but I saw some of the lads with bagpacks full of magnums (literaly 20 - 25 magnums) and bars of chocolate that they would have stolen from there. When school finished, upwards of 20 lads would all go into the shop at the same time and it was impossible for him to stop everyone stealing. I suppose he got his come-uppence in the end!
