There’s nothing worse than someone who is so cheap that it actually hurts your relationship with that person. It’s frustrating and a pretty awful way to treat someone.
I once shared a car to a gig with someone who agreed to split the gas but when it came down to it, he would ask me for the exact amount down to the gallon that we used. Who does that?
I wouldn’t be surprised if that cheapskate knew these people who have taken to Twitter to share the cheapest thing that someone’s ever done to them.
1. More like “Oh My God!” parents.
2. Solid friend right there.
3. How do you literally ask someone for 4 cents back??
4. Not a chance, lady!
5. The worst roommate ever.
6. No more free drinks for him.
A mate went out for a drink on Friday lunchtime with a colleague. They only had time for one, so my mate said he'd buy, the next Friday. On the Monday, his colleague phoned him up and said he'd just booked the next Friday off, so could he have the money for the drink he'd bought

7. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.
Used to earn a living from rubbish dumps. New law forbade climbing into the tip to get things so I'd help people unload and sweep up. Most would then dump stuff I wanted in my van. One refused because he was dumping an old TV for a friend and wasn't sure they'd want me to have it

8. Finders keepers I guess? What a cheapskate.
On the way home from school, at the bus stop, my friend said ‘What’s that stuck to your shoe?’ – it was a tenner. She peeled it off my school shoe and spent it in the newsagents. On herself.

9. Seems like a lot of work to hide fruit like that.
A roommate suggested we start a fruit bowl in the house. As broke as I was, I started buying a nice variety for our communal bowl. His contribution: apples (loser fruit in Canada). One day I’m vacuuming and beside his bed I see his personal stash of kiwi oranges bananas mangoes

10. You can’t even regift it.
Someone once bought an album I wanted, taped it and gave me the cassette for Christmas!

11. WOW
When I became pregnant after taking the morning after pill my bf (who had paid for it) asked for half the money back …

12. Amazing they have the time and energy to be this way.
Previous owners of my house took the (fitted) carpets up when they moved out. Despite the carpets being of no use to them at all, they took them anyway because “those carpets were new, why should you get to have them?”
