Answer 1

Twenty five years ago I babysat a 3 year old for $25 a week for one year. At the end of the first year I told the mother that I would now be charging her $30 a week or I would quit. She got out her calculator and told me the percent of that increase and that is was a higher percentage pay raise than she received at her job (a govenment worker) and so she refused to pay it. We're talking about paying someone $30 a week to care for a child!!! So I quit, then and there. That is only one of my cheapskate stories on that particular person.

Answer 2

my grandfather is the biggest cheap skate I know. For one he has money so it is not like he is broke at all. Well my car was in the shop for a new engine last summer and my grandfather had to take my boyfriend 5 miles to his friends house every morning for 5 days so that he could get a ride to work and then at the end of the day he would drive back to his friends house to pick my boyfriend up and he wanted to charge me $72 for gas money for those 5 days. The worst part is I am family and he couldn't even help me out without looking for some money to do. Pathetic

Answer 3

My best friends mom is so sweet, but sooooooooooo cheap. A long time ago, I had went with them to the movies and then we stopped for a burger afterwards. When we got our food I was a little over a dollar short. She made sure my mom paid her back.

When I called my mom that night she explained to my mom that I was short and then the next morning when my mom came to pick me up she reminded her. I guess the reason it aggravated me so much is because my mom would've never done that. She paid for plenty of meals for my friends. It's just the way she was and is. And they had way more money than we ever did.
