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.

Tight?It was the first Mrs Razors birthday. A few of us went to the Hard Rock Cafe for an over-priced burger and some alcohol. Val and Nick joined us.
We ate, we drank, we asked for the bill.
Val got out a calculator and grabbed a menu; "You had a burger and no chips, I had a burger with chips. Two beers, one Margarita, that's...£12.45". (This was a few years ago).
The rest of us chucked twenty quid each in the pot, agreed to leave a big tip and spend the rest on more alcohol eslewhere.
It's not that they were poor; they probably had more than the rest of us put together. They were just tight, selfish and ignorant.
