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.

a few points
seems fair enough if he bought you a beer the week before that you now owe him one.(if he indeed did buy you a beer)
i dont think i'd be happy splitting the bill if i was in a bunk bed and someone else was in the big bed!
most of its not too bad and we're probably all guilty of it from time to time, but i figure that he's like that all the time!
and i guess you are disecting everything he does and finding how it is tight arsed.
asking for 47p for his can of beer is priceless though!

At the start of the road trip we agreed that everything we buy together (alcohol, petrol, camp sites/hostels) we split right down the middle so that it's all even. I can see what you're saying, but if he called the bed first then that would of been it and he would not have offered me more money. I would of said fair play to him and carry on the good times - not kick up a fuss.
As for buying a mate a beer A WEEK before then telling me to buy him one back - that's just tight lol I'd never ask a mate for a beer back, i'd just feel stupid.
But you are right - 47p can of beer still cracks me up lol
