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.

I'm not tight, but everyone else makes me look it.Although being somewhat short of shekels, I'm not too fussy about making sure every last penny's accounted for when eating out with people. However, as i've been to uni, my entire family seems to think that I'm sort of idiot savant at mental arithmatic and they make me divide up the bills, which ends up with me detailing exactly what everyone owes, thus giving the appearance of being a tightwad.
It's usually me that leaves any sort of tip as well...
