Tight people are tight whatever the financial situation.
We went on holiday to Orlando, with who I consider to be the tightest person I have ever met.
This was pre kids and our party consisted of two married couples. He and his wife has seperate bank accounts and he had drawn up a plan of who was paying for what daily.
In Ponderosa, he actually collected as many discount cards as possible and took pocket full of mints, to save money..
At the Hard Rock Cafe we had a big meal and it was his turn to pay, obviously we were chipping in as it was quite expensive compared to other meals, he offered to pay the tip and threw down 50 cents in change onto the table. This meal had come to over $120 !
I drove all the time and we shared payment for gas, on his turn he gave me $5..
We shared a room for a week and I nearly threw him out the window, such was his tightness and misery. One night I was that xxxxxx with him I actually wiped my backside on his pillow whilst he was out. I've posted the story here once and got a few laughs, but also got the thread deleted.
He'd fit in well on this thread !
