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.

Charity doesn't begin.I shared a house with two girls, one of whom was tighter than the PVC trousers of wellgroomedwookiee’s emo days.
The two of them went off to the shops together, and when they returned, the other housemate came to see me; she was looking rather drawn. Turns out they’d popped into Oxfam and Miss Spendthrift had seen a book she wanted.
Oh, but it was £1. Far too much for such a thin book, so she’d haggled with the ancient woman sitting on the till and got her to sell it to her for 50p.
Fuck you, poor people.
