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.

last time I tipped
I was at a nice Jazz club in Soho that has good food- not cheap but the food was good but the wine was bloody expensive.
i got the bill - and additional 'optional' 15% had been whacked on top.
I had a chat with the waiter - do you get this 15%? He said no.
I suggested that he remove the 15% from the bill and I give him cash as a tip.
Win-Win - He gets a decent tip, I don't get screwed for £25 for nothing.
