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.

Can you peel an orange in your pocket?A guy I work with, is the very essence of tight!
Recently, I caught up with him in a pub where a comedy night was planned. As part of the evening we were given vouchers for free beers. I arrive at the same time and buy him a pint. We wait until the show starts and in the interval, he asks if anyone wants a drink. I say yes, and he asks me for one of my free beer tokens!
On nights out with the lads, when he's the first one to enter a pub, he'll hold the door for everyone else to walk through, so he gets to the back while some other mug then ends up getting the beers in.
He's tighter than a gnats chuff!
