He's too stingy to start his own.

A "mate" of mine made a big deal out of having to the full cost of... wait for it... FIVE EURO, for the use of an astroturf facility, because he said he stood in goal more than anyone else...

Told him to keep his money. Won't ask him again. He went on a huge rant about it. You might think he was havin a whinge about bein in goal, but quarrels about money are par for the course with him.

Thread ressurection FTW!!!

there's a guy i know who carries a tobacco pouch, but he smokes normal cigs.
when he's finished the cig at the filter, there's still a little bit of tobacco in it so he squeezes it into the pouch

My stingy thing is that I hate paying for taxis.

No explanation for it, I'm free and easy with money for everything else but taxis really irk for some reason.

What does the taxi driver say when you refuse to pay him?

There is a Kilkenny shop on Wicklow St. in Dublin?

Yeah, it gives us a taste of the country without actually having to go there. You don't have a "Dublin Road" where you're from?

I am very stingey.

However, I have to be or else I wouldn't be able to adequately bankroll my alcohol addiction.

I'd imagine if I tried to not pay they'd get fairly angry.

hard to say, never tried fare dodging.

Once when I was going to the cinema in Mallow I had a bright idea.I went into Dunnes and got one of the 3ltr bottles of fake cidona for 1.50 insted of paying 2 euro for 500ml.With the slaggin I got I didnt do it again.:p

My name is URL

The stingiest thing I've ever witnessed was my mate stopping the car in Tralee on our way to a wedding in Cork and making us take a bus with him the rest of the way because there was talk of a drive up to Galway the day after, and that wasn't on his itinerary. He's a farmer btw

"have you got your student id?" (most of them don't even look). I said "no". She said "no discount". I laughed I said "hello I'm in here all the time" (winked at one of the other girls).
NO student discount...wow I had a good mind to leave the sandwich (including an extra €1 charge for 1 extra slice of ham) there but was too hungry!
So tight her arse squeaked when she walked

Sorry if someone else said this but I can;t be arsed reading the rest of the thread.

Just wanted to ask do you not realise she's only doing her job. She didn't make the rules. YOU forgot your student card but you're indignant because they wouldn't give you the discount...??? Right.... Why do you flatter yourself to assume she'd remember you? And what in God's name makes her the tight arse in this story??!!

(apologies again if I'm only repeating what someone else hopefully already pointed out )

That's not really being stingy, is it? My friends do that from time to time, it's a pretty clever trick, particularly when there are one or two chip leaders that are way ahead of the others. If you see someone with a small stack of chips, you'd be inclined to force them in to going all-in so as to get them out of the game.

I used to do that all the time. Instead of spending €1.40 on 500ml of water I'd buy the Dunnes 2L bottles for 33c. Besides the price difference I wanted more water! That's not stingy

When i was bout 15 my friend whos a year older used check every single phone box that we would pass by...every 100 box's he would of got 20 cents :D Also he used get these jeans for like five euro from michael guineys(pikey store in Cork) and he used complain non stop if they got anyway damaged( Could almost buy a new pair everyday for that price)

On holidays this year one of the lads would never pay for the taxi or put anything towards it...Really grinds my gears that one...

richy

jesus how could i have forgot this earlier...The pub i work in is a stinge magnet...One fella in his fifties tries to walk away with his pint without paying for it...he always does FAS courses in computers and such for money even tho he is absolutely loaded...always says he'll pay for his pint after he pops to the post office across the road to get the money...goes to the local hospital to try and get cheap meals..told me this himself, said he pretends hes a patient...

Also their is this one other almighty ****er of a man who i hate and i dont use that word regarding other people lightly...Anyways hes only 50 odd and he always claims pensioners prises(owner gives it because he comes in with a few big spenders not to upset them) He always shouts out i pay your wages and the dole pays mine delighted with himself..He's on disability and hes no more disabled than paul o connell.. Hes always talking bout jobs hes doing on the side... He will always try to get out of paying for a pint...He bought a pint for someone yesterday and then bout ten minutes later asked me to put on pint...when i went to take for it he says i bought the other fella a pint there he can buy me one back and he says to the other fella can i buy you another pint knowning full well the other fella would say no its my turn..He always tried to get free things off business in town and then comes in and boasts about it..Hes always flashing his rolex watch and bragging bout his 3 houses even tho hes on disability...Every new years a local does a collection for the bar staff.. he put in cents...literally...He also acts like he owns the pub.. What a rant...haha

Shelflife

A customer would come in to the local and always get his round in which cost say €5.05 , he would always just throw in a €5 and sit down smirking away.
this went on for a while till the owner asked him for the full amount, your man said ive no change , so the owner takes his pint ,drinks about a third of it , looks at it and says thats about us even now and gives it back to the customer.

the rest of the local fell about laughing at the customer, classic moment.

What about the shops that insist on the extra cent....

Has anybody mentioned them ****ers. I know I was refused a packet of paracetamol once over 1 bloody cent... Thing is, mosttimes I'm in that shop, I normally just ignore any change under 5cent... because it's **** all really. Never again

Which is why it's frowned upon and considered very unsporting

When I was working in a bar in Cork I spilled a bowl of sugar cubes all over the floor. this was when we were cleaning up and everyone left.

The owner made me pick them up and put them back in the bowl, lol.

Once in a restaurant, 4 people at a table near us, three of them leave a tip at the table on leaving, last person at the table pockets tip without the rest noticing.

Typical Irish.
