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.

Predis tight. He's so fucking tight that if he were a minge, even a guy with a dick like a pencil would have trouble.
I worked in Japan with him and Doug, and for Christmas 1999 we repaired to Doug's family home in Detroit. The three of us took the opportunity to do some clothes shopping and Pred spent about an hour (I kid you not) trying to decide whether to buy a $30 pair of jeans. He left them (too expensive) but after whining about it for another two hours, he went back and bought them; he proceeded to discuss his discomfort at such a large expenditure for the rest of the day.
Two days back in rural Japan, with its barely noticeable crime rate, he washed them and hung them on the line and they were promptly stolen.
