This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

My uncle....
Is known for his long pockets and short arms.
He hasnt bought any new clothes in the past 20 years and still lives at his mum and dad's house rent free even though he's pretty 'minted' due to a good job and large compensation pay out.
However my dad summed him up when he told me about when they used to go out when they were younger.

My favva - "Look at them girls* over there. Shall we go talk to 'em?"
Uncle - "hold on give it a few minutes"
papa - "why?"
Uncle - "They're drinks are running low, so wait till they get some more, cos i'm not payin for em."

Tight twunt

However saying that i do follow these words of wisdom and do wait for a full drink to arrive before i attempt to chat someone up.

*i assure you these girls were young women and definately of rogering age*
