I'm not saying all death/ funeral lovers are stinges and I am not saying all stinges are avid funeral goers but the two seem to go hand in hand for some reason. Don't know if its for the free finger food and sandwiches or if its just because they are miserable gits in general.

Just because someone earns a lot, they could have high financial outgoings. I wouldn't necessarily shout "stinge" at someone for donating something small. -An acquaintance has taken the piss over covid and is being a total dick. They ordered a chunk of PPE from the internet and sold it on to their vulnerable neighbours for massively inflated prices. They made a massive profit and the old folk were none the wiser. They also volunteered to do the grocery shopping for them but charged way above what was on the till. They claimed "delivery charge and rounding for change purposes".

He bought a new one from staff canteen and went back up with the expired one pretending that's the one he bought. The canteen worker gave him back his money and apologised and binned his "expired yoghurt". He slipped the fresh one into his lunch box that he got that morning and brought it home. Come to think of it. That's verging on theft. My lady companion when I was living in the Netherlands used to manipulate the bottle return machine by letting the machine register the bottle but not fully swallow it, she had slender arms. She'd pull it back out and put the same one in several times to get multiples of the 20c deposit until she got caught and barred from the shop.

They worked on building sites, so usually one chap finished up 15 minutes before lunch, collected money and bought everyone there lunch. On this particular day the stingy guy went, and my dad asked him to buy him a roll, and a packet of crisps. He gave him €3 or something. The chap came back with just a roll for my dad as he hadn't given him enough money. He was short 10c or something. He wouldn't cover and ask my dad for the money.
PaulKK wrote: » I completely get how this guy is stingey in your examples but I think if it's an ongoing thing where everyone is short paying the guy going to collect the lunch then he is of pocket every time. I've seen it myself where people ask you to pick up lunch from the shop for them and the either give you too little money or none at all. I'd rather give too much if it was me. Not giving enough is stingey in itself and almost a tactic as they know the person will be embarrassed to ask for the euro or whatever they were short.
