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.

Apologies in advance for the lack of teh funnies
And for a tenous link actually.

But the last company I worked for was a major Insurance company. Which was pretty soul destroying in itself.

In fact, to the point where I started to loathe myself for being there.

But I didn't realise their true evil came when I found out that they were refusing to pay the claims for the 9/11 attacks because they refused to accept the twin towers were two separate buildings and that they had to pay their maximum liability for each one, rather than just once.

Despite the fact that they had insured them as two buildings.

And the fuckers won the court case, somehow.

Although I don't know what happened upon appeal, because that was my final straw and I quit, but I hope they got shafte.

Insurance companies are the ultimate in tight fisted bastards, no one on earth comes close.
