    What are some of the most stingy people you know & what have they done

    I know of one fella who is married and whenever he uses the car he only puts in enough fuel for himself will regularly leave d wife with a empty tank or if he gets into it and she has put fuel in he will drive around till the fuel light comes on then return s to her for her to put fuel in d next day



    I used to go out with a fella when I was 21 he used to take me out to dinner every couple of weeks and when it was time to pay he would pat his pocket s and say oh Jesus I left my wallet at home
    Or oh god I never got paid this week can we pay for ourselves me as a naive stupid young one agreed

    We got to Christmas eve he called to my parents house I gave him his present I naive again thought he must have left my present in the car he then proceed ed to break up with me AFTER He got THE PRESENT of course I bought him something really nice I was a student and he was full time working in a bank !!!!

    12 years later (last year )
    I was sitting in a cafe having lunch saw him with a girl they ate then got up to pay and low and behold the stinge bag let the woman pay

    What a prick I realised that a few years after we broke up but at the time I was a total fool

    I know one lad who always wears a black and yellow stripey jersey and has a big needle-yoke poking out of his hole. Never happened to me, but loads of people say he's the stingiest fecker they've ever met.

    He didn't even go halves. Why should she pay for him when he's the one asking her to dinner?

    I read it again and sometimes he forgot his wallet, so he couldn't pay at all and other times he could only pay for himself. So half the time he went halves.

    Well I must say I'm not at all tight and I would willingly pay for meal or go halves or whatever sometimes too generous when the other person does not reciprocate
    But this fella was just a mean prick never buy a round let everyone else go first
    Goto the jacks when it's his turn and return after ages supposedly got lost r was talkin to someone
    While the rest of us were dying for a drink so we went and got one ..

    If someone asked me out to dinner, I would assume that I was paying for half. I would also check that I had my wallet with me! I wouldn't mind paying for both if in a proper relationship and it worked out even but if I was constantly paying for someone because they were obviously a stingy gobsh!te, they would be getting the boot.
