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.

when I was a young'unMy dad thought me and my siblings were on the computer faarr too much so he installed this program called 'enuff' or something, which has a timer on it or something, so you only have a certain allowance of time a day (I had 1.5 hours) and the computer cut off when the time expired.
it was a cunt, especially when I was working on a school essay, or playing rollercoaster tycoon or something, and im rudely interupted by the box of doom announcing that 'I have 5 minutes remaining'
then we'd rush around like its a life or death situation, thinking 'shit shit shit!! save save save!!'
It was kinda like a drug, my older brother would bribe me or my younger brother for our remaining times
dont remember for shit what happened to it, or how we actually convinced my dad to remove it...
