    Default You're soooooooooo CHEAP

    Ok this is a big pet peeve of mine but it might make a funny thread!!

    Tell some tight ass stories.

    I'll start:

    - People who will drive over an hour to get 10 cents off petrol (and then waste the savings driving back DUH)

    - People who wash aluminum foil and reuse it

    - People who bargain over the price of things - unless it's a market I think it's embarrassing to do this. Esp doing it to dancers!!

    - People who bring food or drinks to a party, drink and eat stuff brought by others and take home what they brought.

    - Washing your dishes in the bath water (yes I've heard of this and think it's truly disgusting) why would u want to eat off plates when u washed them with water u used to clean yourself??

    - Buying people cheap, nasty presents. I dont think u have to spend a fortune, but dont give people a gift that looks like it's falling apart, or missing something on it, or dirty.

    - Charging friends to borrow something. That's just wrong.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    A guy that comes into the club is so cheap, he heard that there is a club in Indiana that has $10 LD's. He wants to go from Virginia to Indiana to save $15 per dance. He's such an idiot he hasn't factored in this the cost of travel.

    obviously regifting while trying to take credit yourself

    Bringing a bottle of wine to a party,then if it doesnt get opened that night..taking it home with you(we had friends do this...they are SOOO cheap and lacking in social graces)

    Constantly mooching off your friends,then when you get your own stuff somehow you can never spare anything to replace what you mooched ( same friend did this to me..we are on the same prescription and she didnt have insurance for awhile so I shared. When she got her script..she wouldnt give me back the pills she took from me. Even though that was the deal. Kept her healthy and she screwed me)

    Going to a restaurant and ordering water.lemon and sugar to make your own free lemonade

    This reminds me of when guys say my work is cheaper in Thailand. A ticket to Thailand costs two grand, idiot. I cost three hundred. Which is cheaper, $2025 or $300? Dumbass.

    When I was 11, my grandparents took us to Disney World.

    In the ticket line, my Grandpa was telling me "Say you're 7. Say you're 7." I had a full C cup. If you look at a picture of me when I was 11, I look the same exact way I do today, by anyone's account. Not to mention, 11 y/o's are mighty embarrassed if they have to pretend they are 7. Ahwell, that's Depression-era ppl for ya!

    OMG yes lol..I think everyone's family has them lie about their age.

    Jaizaine, how do you feel about people who wash/reuse paperplates (the foam ones) and plastic forks?

    I agree with everything, & mostly this one... except for when I've let friends borrow my car. I usually fill up my tank as a courtesy... don't give the shit back to me on a quarter tank let alone on E!!! WTF?
    So, yes.. if you borrow a car.. Always leave it with as much gas as it had!

    LMAO, I think we've ALL been through that.

    Sadly, I am only adding to the vicious cycle. My son is 3 1/2, the age for lap child on plane flights is 2... he's been 2 for a very long time.

    Some things are just eco conscious.
    I reuse plastic forks when at home. I reuse foil too.

    Everything else on that list is super cheap though.

    OMG! My fucking pete peeve is when you go out to a resturaunt or bar with your friend, and then the bill comes, and they want to ITIMIZE everything!! It's so annoying! like, fuck, let's just split it in half !! I could see if I had a bottle of champagne and a lobster and somebody had a ceasar salad, yes then go nuts itimizing that bill! but when you're out with two people, or like on a double date and people start breaking down the check when everybody had more or less the same thing! aaggghh!! it just bugs me to no end. I would rather pay the whole bill then see that.

    I have found that the people with the most money are the cheapest. They never tip correctly on a bill either. Drives me insane.

    I've lived with many o' homeless people and have never heard of the washing the dishes in the tub! Clothes maybe but dishes?! ewww god.

    And lmao at going to a strip club in Indiana...was it the hip hugger? Shit is legendary.

    Seriously. Whenever I do dollar dances and am turned down I just kind of look at them like "Really? You can't spare a single DOLLAR?!" I mean, some dudes don't want the dance but will still give me a dollar. But the ones who won't...need to get the fuck out of my club.

    Grrr..I hate that!

    And under tippers....I've gone out with friends that though it was ok to leave like $5 on a $100 bill when service was perfectly fine. NO IT ISNT.

    My old friend (roommate) used to insist on shopping at the dollar store for all her regular groceries, I hated that!

    My b/f is a Virgo so he can be very frugal and I'm the exact opposite, which is probably the reason I'm always broke.

    I really don't understand the washing the dishes in the tub---what are you trying to save on? Water and soap? You can panhandle for a dollar and buy the cheapest soap availble. Really don't want to keep the water running? At least fill a bucket of clean water!

    I dunno, dollar store can be awesome and really have a lot of stuff. I'm pretty big on not having so much chemicals in my food, but for those who don't care, you can find decent stuff----dried fruit, trail mix, cans of course, spices, cereal, etc. Granted we all need some fresh produce tho, hope she wasn't solely living out of the dollar store! but $1.00 is a hell of a lot better for all those items vs. $3.99

    Hehe I'd think ppl that were that eco-concious to a tee about the tin foil would use an alternative---tin foil's like a huge enemy for the health & wellness group, aluminum all swimming in yr bloodstream n whatnot

    Yeah, I actually just got back from the dollar store ironically. I always get stuff like ketchup, pickles, Betty Crocker cake mix there...and check this out my dollar store even has this Healthy Life low calorie bread that I like there! They have some good shit, not that I would count on it as my soul form of nutrition but when it's the same stuff as at the regular store why not? I also get toilet paper, detergents, soap, dog food (they sell Pedigree there for cheaper then the store), dog bones, plastic plates, etc. It really saves me a ton of money! (can you tell I love the dollar store lol)

    For sure, stuff like bread, PB&J--I've seen all the above at Dollar Tree, where everything is actually a buck. I don't think save $3 and up per item qualifies as soooo cheap. Like the rancid paper cup refill guy, haha.

    Those ppl always make me wonder if they are really thinking things thru---now, if you showed me a handwritten register of every single cent earned, and every single cent spent, I might be impressed. But chances are, they're gladly overpaying for dumb shit like the rest of us.

    My bf makes fun of how excited I get over dollar stores. I'm like what's yr problem? Lol.



    Cheap is......my bf's parents lent us these inner tubes to take to the beach. They were the same ones he used as a child....in the 70's! Mine kept deflating, and there were all these rubber patches everywhere where they repaired holes themselves in the past. That's a serious case of: how much is your time worth? Repairing rubber tubes when you can get an inflatable at Wal-Mart for prob $2.99

    My dad will reuse a kleenex, take kleenex out of the trash (at home) and use it, and sometimes won't flush after he pees a few times. It's gross. At least he flushes after he shits. He also will take a jar of mayo and literally scrape every little tiny last molecule out of it. It might save him .01 of a penny or something.

    Cameron Diaz said that she does this in an interview once to conserve water. She said "if its yellow,let it mellow. If its brown,flush it down"

    I'm down with that philosophy where septic tanks dominate!

    The Kleenex is crazy. The mayo reminds me of my mom saying in her dirt poor childhood, they'd add water to the ketchup bottle.

    I think a lot of cheapskate behavior from old timers in engrained, in the Depression you had to ration out everything.
