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.

my mate's dad...gave him a pair of steel-toed builders boots (which he'd got for free), when he'd asked for some German Paras as a birthday present (he was into the rock/metal scene when he was a teenager). He then proceeded to demonstrate how the ankle-high tramp shoes were "better" by standing on the toe-cap. Which crimped. Leaving my mate with a cut toe and a pair of boots which always had a grooved dent in one toe.
Same dad later gave him his old wing-collared leather sport coat (like a black leather blazer from Saturday Night Fever)when the same kid asked for a biker jacket for christmas.
No wonder his kid got picked on, the tight cunt
