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.

MDone of my MD's is spectacularly tight except when it comes to spending company money on his own gadgets/cars. He has 2 company cars FFS, not sure how he works that out as he's the only one to be insured on them.
The chairman invited him and his family to Greece (my chairman is greek) and put them up in a 5 star hotel for a week. Fed and watered the MD's spawn and treated them to a life of proper luxury. Or at least the greek equivalent.
On his return, the MD decided to thank the Chairman in the form of a new Rolex. Which he bought. With his company credit card. The same company credit card that the Chairman of course technically pays for.
