You know the person who wouldn't buy you a drink even if there was a free bar on. Who would put Ebineezer McScrooge to shame? I need names and tips sorry I meant examples.

I work with someone who can smell free food and drink from approximately 200 metres. He does it very effectively, he manages to keep his waistline the same size as a small hippos without ever spending any money. If he ever bought anyone so much as a half price cake in the canteen, I just know that an email would go round to about 100 people within 20 seconds, telling them of the miracle.
He came back to the office one afternoon, complaining of having stuffed himself on half price fish and chips in the canteen and not being able to move. 30 seconds later, a colleague pops their head round the door and says there's left over sandwiches at the other end of the main office. I have never seen a big man move quite so fast.

i have a friend who is lovely but really, really stingy.
these are just some examples.
1) working out how much toilet roll we used when she had a few friends round to hers for dinner.
2) holding her hand out for the extra penny when asked to get a drink for someone while she was going to the bar. (she had been given £1.30 and The drink was £1.31)
3) she was supposed to bring something for a friend but forgot and only remembered when she was halfway to friends house in a taxi. so she got the cab to turn round so she could go back for it. but she charged the friend the extra in the cab fare even though it was her that forgot the stuff even after being reminded.
4) wearing layers and layers of clothes so she don't have to put the heating on.
loads more examples but feel a bit mean cos she is really Sweet in loads of other ways.

I have a friend - no names no packdrill - who in the 27 years I've known him has bought me a drink precisely once.
He used to be skint, so I didn't mind. But now he earns more than I do, and he STILL never puts his hand in his pocket. Grrr.

My dad. He used to collect pizza hut tokens in the Sun and then take us out to dinner. It was embarrassing to say the least. He also tried to take us all to butlins one year on account of more tokens he collected...... my dear mother put a stop to that and we buggered off to the South of France that year.
In the words of Ferris Bueller, my dad is so tight if you shoved a piece of coal up my dad's @rse, in a week you would have a diamond.
He also tells anyone that bothers to listen to him that he has very deep pockets and short arms. I forgot, one year he bought my mother, for her birthday a blender from Makro as they were 'on offer'. I'm not sure how or why they are still married.

My dad.
He buys bread that's on sale, which means it's old to begin with.
