Why are all tight people horrible ?

the bloke who used the nutcrackers in above post , he wanted a campervan but didn't want to splash out on campervan prices so he bought a ford transit van for peanuts ,and thought he would convert it himself ,when it came to cutting out the windows he phoned a hire company for a quote on an angle grinder/cutter and didn't like the quote and said he would do it himself ,I saw him a few days later and his knuckles  on his hands looked like they had been through a mincer! turned out he had bought a dozen or so of those old fashioned kitchen  hand tin openers  and cut out the windows with them ffs

I think charities are tight.

"Large ceramic jar"!? Looxury!

The one earlier about the chinese ..It was one of the kids birthdays a few years back , had a bit of a party at ours and had the family around and all decided to get an indian takeaway . There were 14 adults so we decided to  go £5 each , so we would have £70 to get a load of food , 2 of my mates who brought no beer didnt put in cos they were skint  so we had £60 .

When the food came , THERE WAS LOADS ,  i put it all in the kitchen with spoons in each of the currys , opened the rice , pappadums , sauces etc and left it to others and i was gonna get some later .

I noticed them all coming in with plates piled up and thought bloody hell take it easy . About 15 minutes later i noticed my sisters boyfriend { a proper tight tw@t} come back in with ANOTHER plate piled sky-high and then another 2 fellas who were also there   . What do these foukurs want for a fiver .

To be honest every one that got an extra plate are horrible TIGHT penny pinchers  anyway .

As i stated earlier , i know of no tight people that are good people , THEY ARE ALL HORRIBLE .

oh and by the way - i didnt get a chip

Tight people know what people today are like, if you are lucky to have some money make sure nobody
finds out, they will do their outmost to get it off you and will hate you forit

true in a way , i used to say if i won lottery or made a lot of money somehow id sort out a lot of people , now i would only give a few people some cash as i know the rest wouldnt do the same

as soon as you have money you will seee more of people

bet the greedy feckers couldnt even finish it , just wanted their moneys worth and more so no one else could et

could get it*

^^^ they did mate , every last drop . My sister and her fella also have 2 kids , they both have well paid jobs and my mum looked after her 2 young uns while they went to work ... and never gave her a single penny . There was over £4000 a month going in that house and gave her fook all just a sob story that if she couldn't mind the kids they would lose the house etc etc etc . I was in a sticky position cos my mum told me in confidence that she was finding it too hard , she was 64 at the time and raised 5 of her own  . So  I don't bother with them at all now  ALL DUE TO THEIR LOVE OF MONEY

she looked after them for 3 fykin years . 7-30 - 5-30 for absolutely NOTHING .

somedtimes the kinder you are you get taken for a mug or they dot see it that way they just think its all nice and dandy

next time you all chip in order vindaloos or phals , see if the greedy barstewards will be back for seconds after that

Well done for keeping calm zealot, I'd be having a right go at that pure selfish behaviour, family or not, it's just not right, and I wouldn't give a damn about a pathetic sob story. If you have kids, they're your responsibility, quite simple really. The story about losing the house makes it worse for me.

Great work from your mother though.

ha ha chaser

i worked at a place before and in the canteen we got meals for like 50 pence , there was young girls at 18ish coming back with piled up food i said to a few folk they aint gonna eat all that , amost it got binned.they just cant see fck all going by them when its cheap or free , if it cost normal price i guarantee they wouldnt have that size portion

I went to turkey a few years back on an all inclusive holiday , some of the tight khoonts piled their plates so high you would have thought they were feeding an elephant !

no wonder there is so many fatties

Some horrible tw@t i worked with years ago used to make his own 'one slice' ham butties for work but he used to go out on a Sunday night so he couldnt be bothered making any butties for the Monday . So he used to visit the works canteen for his Monday dinner and get ..... wait for it ........HALF A PORTION OF CHIPS & HALF A PORTION OF BEANS .

yuk yuk yuk ,

I do actually - they are happy, good company .....and LOADED!

you must be tight as well dewey - cos you will be similar to your friends . fact

I used to pay my mother in law the going rate to look after our kids.  She needed the money and it was only fair.

We had a quiz at school once where the teacher promised a nice prize for the winning team, we were in groups of three, and incredibly, I was in the winning team.

The teacher walked over put his hand in his pocket and got some coins out. He said, well done guys, share that between you, the grand sum of 21p. Who would have thought all those years later, it still rates as my biggest ever prize win.

'Thrifty' is a far better word imo - 'Generous' towards my family - I very much doubt they'd disagree with that.

If they're happy....so am I.

I don't have a problem with someone being tight.  It's their money and they can do what they want with it.  Plus I realise day to day finances are a struggle for many people.  What is much worse is people overspending and then coming to my wife (as the soft touch) asking to borrow money.

Clydebank,
great post, totally agree.
Can you ask your wife (lovely lady, heart of gold) if she can lend me a tenner until I have a winner?
Thanks

....and people who live beyond their means....(I was brought up proper by the way).

Last post in agreement with CLYDEBANK29 - not mememe.

Pease don't ask for credit as refusal often causes offence.

Lovely jubbly.

dewey,
what's wrong with my post, then? I'll have you know that I've published some well received posts.

tightness zaps away all the good in a person .I can not have a friend who is tight

I know someone who asked in a bar how much a vodka and orange was and how much much a vodka and lemonade was, he really wanted the vodka and orange but it was 20p more so he took the lemonade, its one of the most embarrasing things ive ever seen

Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.

mememe - nothing!.....and I'm not biting either.

Dr Crippen is right....proof not needeed.

*needed

went for a night out in sCOTLAND , MY MATE WALKED STRAIGHT TO THE BAR AND SAID WHATS YOUR CHEAPEST BOTTLE ???

I went to the theatre with my partner and another couple, the girls worked together and she was a friendly enough sort but I had never met him before. At the interval we went for a drink and he bought his wife a glass of wine and then took out a notebook to write down "Sarah owes me 4 quid for wine." I never saw him again after that episode.

Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.

ONE OF THE VILEST SAYINGS EVER .

Zealot - What is 'vile' about that?   You obviusly have good reason.

When I was at school I knew a lad who could peel an orange in his pocket. Then take a segment out at a time to eat it so that he wouldn't have to share it.

Respect.

Dr. Crippen - Did he become a millionaire?

dewey, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised at all.

He certainly deserved to make good.

Yep..............

I was at the house of this old fellow I knew.

I watched him place three pieces of coal on his open fire. He then sat back in his chair to consider what he had done. Thought better of it and took one piece of coal off.
Now that's what I call frugal.
He was worth a few bob as well.

It's an art mate, nothing less than an art.

Happiness is Bliss.

I have, or more accurately 'had' a mate who has never had much money but it has made him tighter than a nun's snatch. I'd suggest doing something (football, snooker, cinema etc) and he'd say about 50% of the time, "I can't afford it" so back then when I had quite a bit of disposable income i'd pay. Now every fecking time I suggest something he can't afford it because he is trying his luck to get me to pay. I cottoned on to this a while back and we haven't seen each other since.

When we sometimes went to McDonalds or similar we'd drive through and then settle up after. If he drove and my stuff came to £4 or so i'd give him a fiver and say you drove, so don't worry about the change. Not a massive amount but a nice little gesture IMO. When it was the other way round and his came to £4.23 for example, he would count out £4.23 in small change and pay me with that...

Can't stand things like that. I think i'm extremely generous fair with my money. In fact, i'm probably over generous. I love buying stuff for my family and and I will never understand people who are rich and then hoard it. At a certain point it is numbers printed on a screen. Have some fun with it.

Your 'mate' was probably telling the truth.

I used to work with a bloke who pulled in a very decent wage, and his wife had a good job also. No kids. Mortgage paid off years ago.

The had never had a proper holiday in all in their 25 years of marriage -they used to drive down to Weston super mare twice a year, bring a packed lunch, sleep in the car over night (15 year old banger)and drive back the next day. That was their summer holiday. They were in their early 50's at the time and not in the best of health.

He never ever gave to a collection at work - didn't matter what the cause was. One of his best mates at work died suddenly, knew him for 25 years, never gave a penny when there was a collection for him. Just walked away when asked!


One of the tightest cnunts I've ever met.

He died in his mid 50's taking it all with him!

Where did he take it?

to his maker

Don't be silly.

how did you manage that as oranged let of fumes

sure he was peeling an orange in his pocket?

think the reason most tight feckers are horrible or miserable khoonts is they are thinking about saving money or fearing losing money 24-7 and it gets under their skin , the tight wad who has serious money is far worse than a tight fecker who has feck all as the one with feck all has a valid excuse to be tight !

I can't stand it when you go out for a meal with other couples and the bill comes... You get 90% of them want to pay by card which does my nut in. If you're going for a night/meal out then go to a fecking cashpoint, don't use your card to avoid tipping you tight tw@ts. Was in TGI Fridays one time with loads of single friends and three or four of them started using the calculators on their phones to work out what they'd had to the penny... My mate & I chucked 20 quid on the table and walked out...

Never happens when you go out with a group of male friends.. Don't know if it's people being Billy Big Bollocks or ego taking over, but say the bill in an indian comes to say £133 and there are five of you, you just all stick £30 in each and think nothing of it, no matter what everyone has eaten/drank...

yeah it should just be split equal not adding up whos had what

youve had 4 drinks and ive only had 3 so let me work this out

waiter waiter how much was that starter

went out for my mates wifes 40th couple of years back .. There was about 6 couples and loads of kids  . When the bill came i suggested - just divide it between the number of adults . There was a fat horrible couple who picked up a menu and started working out what they had eaten . The ball started rolling then and a few others done it cos they didnt wanna pay more . Anyway when i seen me mate the day after he said he was £15 short and had to put it in himself .

Who the hell are these horrible people , they should not be allowed out with  nice people . Keep them in the house where they belong .

He could always find cash for other luxuries. He just got it in his head that if he said he was broke i'd pay for him. Now he won't go anywhere unless I pay so we don't see each other!

Tight people are everywhere , always saying theyre skint etc etc etc . Then jet off to Spain for 2 weeks

Go in work and the fykkas go in the office and ask if theres any weekend work

And theyve got young kids at home whod love to go swimming with their dad or the park at weekends but MONEY has got in the way of the most pleasurable things in life . FACT

i've been at that restaurant table,only the once i may add

My best mate's a bit tight, and he'll still dodge a bit of expense when he can, because he used to get ribbed about it all the time. 

He used to ponce ciggies in the pub when we played darts, asking every player for one, and saying 'I'll get some in a minute.'  He once got 20 from the machine in the bar but left them on the table when we went for a piss. I walked round the bar and handed them out, the whole packet was gone in under two minutes.

He never got over it.

If we went into a pub he was never the first one up to the ramp to get a drink, and the night would end on the last round I got in.   

On holiday with our families he would ask all the kids if they wanted crisps, but only when it wasn't his round.

We drove down from Coniston in Cumbria to Blackpool for a day out with the kids. I was starving for breakfast, and I know he was, but a lot of the cafes weren't open yet as it was only 8-30 a.m. I went in the first one I saw, but he carried on walking until he found a cheaper one. I never saw him again until we got back to the cars that night.

In the hotel breakfast room in Cumbria he used to fill his kids up with toast as it was free.

They seem to be you and your wives mates

wifes*

Food certainly seems to bring the greedy nature out in some people

no mate . they are fykin everywhere . like vermin

Tight people are not horrible - just more sensible than the general 'run of the mill', 'priorities in the wrong  place' type of person otherwise 'loser' type of person (not reccomended).

does that mean you never buy a drink ?

If people feel the need to go through the bill working out what everyone has had incase they've been done out of 15p they are not friends imo...

Some nights you'll be better off, other night's worse off, but if you're that tight then just stay in and have beans on toast and a glass of water you absolute ****!

****

K()NTS!!!

This happened over 40 years ago,so a £5er was worth a bit more then.
I knew this tight xxxxxx,he had put this nurse up the stick,the poor cow had to give up work and he moved in with her.a couple of weeks later I went in the local and he is standing at the bar with a suitcase.I asked him what happened,he said she threw me out,I cannot understand it, I was slinging her a £5er a week.

In the pub last Sunday watching Liverpool Utd , about 6 of us . A fella walked in who we all know and ordered a pint of ice water , he joined us and one of the lads said ' what you doing on the water ?' , he replied 'I'm not' , then he pulled a small bottle of cordial out of his inside  pocket and squirted a splash into his glass . We were all GOBSMACKED .

He then said a cordial is £1.20 and his bottle only cost £1 . He stayed for the whole game and had 3 waters which cost him nothing and he went home with nearly a full bottle of cordial !!!

The tw@t is loaded as well .

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING WITH SOCIETY ???

If you're out for a meal and everyone is roughly the same or it's a stag or something, then yes chuck the money in, but if some people are drinking and others aren't and some are having steaks and the others a salad, they've every right to pay just their share as the difference could be massive, espeically with the price of booze these days. It would piss me off if that happened to me regularly I was on the wrong end of it.

how much it set you back, £ 20 ?

I absolutely abhor meanness, I don't ever have such people in my company if I can possibly avoid it.

they are not real friends slippy.

The cordial

Once we went to a Music night in the Green Man near Leytonstone, it was packed out..came to a mates round and ordered the 4 pints as requested..then said "Can i have two Port and Lemons and a dry sherry".. the barman muttered summat and went off to find em.."Why did you order that" i said "You pulled a richard"

He just disappered into the melee whilst the barman was finding the shorts...

A mate of mine had a car fail the MOT on a shock absorber.
He bought a new one fitted in his car and got his MOT

Then he went home and took the new shock absorber off and put the old one back on.
Took the shock absorber back to the shop and got a refund less a handling charge.

He said I'm selling the car so it'll be someone else's problem

He's worth a bob or two now.

My other half is,she had a cesarean 

I work with  a guy who is tighter than two coats of paint  can't Stand the ****

On the morning of his wedding I'm having breakfast at my brothers house.  I start to open a packet of Weetabix and he says "don't do that we're away for a week and it'll go off". FFS! I said it won't go off  but he was adamant it would.

I had toast instead as I could see the thought of coming back off honeymoon to a stale Weetabix would wreck the whole day.

tight folk suffer from a personality disorder - another form of autism ,most have pretty miserable lives tbf .

it's not their fault at all .

i always try to explain to friends like that  the merits of buying a drink for others or  sharing but it doesn't really register 

The husband of one of my nieces comes from a family of seven.

His father was so tight that, amongst other things, he made them pay to watch TV, as he had to pay for the rental of it.

Eventually they discovered that it wasn't rented at all!

Alan Partridge brought his own bigger plate to the buffet when he lived in the Travel Tavern.

My dad is so tight, i once wanted a zx spectrum badly when 15 so i thought i would give him an offer he couldnt refuse, if he got me a zx spectrum i would give him my lifetime worth of lego. He got me a vic 20 and still took the lego and gave it to his stepchildren. Lego was worth probably 20 times the value of a zx and i never thought he would take up my offer.

he also once got me 3 blank vhs tapes for christmas.

least they wern't betamax

Young Jacob asked his dad if he could give him £20.00.

His dad went ballistic and yelled...

£20.00!!!....You're asking me for £10.00. What do you want with £5.00 anyway?

Aunty please say you made that one up !

I was walking with my friend and his two young boys in the park one day.

It was a hot day and on seeing an ice cream van the youngest asked if he could have an ice cream, his dad said no you are not having one for asking, the eldest son said I never asked dad, his dad said that's because you did not want one.

Aunty please say you made that one up !

No, seriously, my word of honour, and I swear on the life of Fluffy, my pet rabbit!

I seen him the other day on his Mobile more often than A Russian H0re,
Then heard about him Arguing over the price of a Suit(£9) in the Charity shop,
