TightwadsThere'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.

the reverse of tightwads... so a bunch of us students (i.e. a while ago now) had gone out somewhere inexpensive for a meal, and as was not untypical we had no plans to leave a tip[1]. But somehow, while piles of notes and coins were being added to the pile, a few extra coppers got added.
None of us were tightwads, so we couldn't be bothered taking back the extra 3 cents from the pile.
The waitress wasn't impressed at all. But it wasn't a tip, just some spare money we couldn't be bothered with -- why couldn't she see?
[1]After all, I wouldn't want to insult you by suggesting you needed a bribe to do your job properly, would I? :-)

Hey, it'd help......anyway I'm open to bribery and corruption, as long as the bribery goes into double figures at least and the corruption's fun.
