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 great birthday last week
reminded me of another, not-so-great, birthday.

best friend number one: bought her a dragon figurine under a glass dome for her birthday, as she collects both dragons and domed items. only cost about £12, but it was what she wanted.
best friend number two: bought her a shocking pink catsuit-type affair, which she absolutely loved. it was her 21st, so i saw no problem with spending a little extra for a special gift. cost £45 and 6 stitches(ask me, i might tell you).

my birthday that year. i knew they'd both been paid, both had no children or large debts, both had a fair bit of disposable cash. i feel that i was justified in expecting at least some form of birthday gift.
what did i get?

a card.
a 59p card.
signed by both of them.

as if that wasn't enough, they then phoned me to invite me round to friend number one's flat for a birthday drink. i was willing to put up with sitting on a mattress on the floor(too tight to buy even a second-hand sofa), but i drew the fucking line when they said they were both skint and i'd have to pay for the drinks. not only that, but they said they didn't want the cheap cider they normally drink, oh no. they wanted vodka and, as it was my birthday, i should buy it to "treat myself"!

obviously, i told them both to fuck off and went to the pub.

Do you still consider them your best friends??

not really
one of them has since died, the other one is shooting out sprogs at a rate of knots, not working, living entirely off her partner's wages and spending her time doing no housework or cooking, just sitting on her arse watching jeremy kyle whilst her ill-mannered brood draw on the walls and shit the place up.
she used to be such a nice girl, too.

You should've got the vodka
and some GHB, then after drinking for a bit with them got them to "get off" with each other and taped it.

Then send the tape off to

back then, that might have been plausible.
nowadays, it'd be necrophilia.
