I had a friend who's dad would shift into neutral while going down hills and coast as far as he could to save gas money.

Yes my dad does the neutral thing all the time...cheap A S S he is...he just lets the car run on it's own momentum (Free) from time to time and doesn't care how long it takes. He has also stopped playing the radio in his car or tapes or CD player... My brother does not catch the bus he rather hitches a ride to get home to save money...doesn't care how long it takes him he finishes work at 5:00pm and usually gets home by 10:00pm because of this...he takes after my dad with the cheap thing.

My ex-father-in-law saw a pair of shoes in the road (not on the side of the road, but IN the road) and almost caused a 12 car pile-up just so he could pick them up. They were 2 sizes too big, but he wore them all the same. It would be different if he didn't have money, but he's got more money than he knows what to do with.

I know someone who takes the salt and pepper packets from fast food restaurants and cuts them open and puts them in his shakers at home. Same person bathes in 1 inch of water.

I knew someone who would roll up dryer lint and use it to start the grill. Just think of the ingredients of dryer lint including but not limited to hair.

My grandfather used to do that.
My aunt and uncle re-use their Dixie bathroom cups and paper towels. For all I know they re-use the tp, too. lol

Take way to many napkins from restaurants to use as toilet paper as well.
