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 dadWould complain if anyone was on the phone too long. He simply couldn't get it into his head how the KC pricing tariff worked.
Although they've fucked about with it since, it used to be a fixed rate for local numbers. Seeing as practically everyone me and my siblings knew lived in Hull, every call was local. A local call cost 5p. Not 5p a minute, just 5p. Whether you were on for 10secs or 2 hours. It cost only 5p.
Would he listen? Would he frig.
"Come on you Maudlin, you've been on that phone nearly 10mins now"
"here's 5p then"
"don't get bloody lippy"
etc

WellCalls from one KC number to another are now free! But, the fuckers have a monopoly on internet access and broadband and are among the very worst in the country.
Swings and roundabouts.
Come on you Tigers!!

TinterwebYeah, I support a company in the KC area and their internet is shockingly rubbish and frustrates me on a daily basis.

when you state a fact they didn't want to hear ...
