While we're bitching about cheap people, anyone here have a friend that conveniently disappears when there's a duty to fulfill and conveniently re-appears when someone else takes it on?
One guy I know is notoriously smart in alot of ways. A little too smart for his own good, however. His cheapness is so obvious to the rest of us that we don't really hang around him much anymore. He's the guy that can sense the conversation heading towards "let's go! Who's going to drive??" and he's conveniently absent until it's sorted out. He's also the guy that is in the car when you hit a late night drive thru and 'only has debit' so someone else buys his burger for simplicity's sake. He's also the guy that knows full well that a case of beer is $25 but will only give you $10 for his "half" because afterall, pulling out coins is not something that most people will request.
I hate being nickle and dimed. Almost anyone can ask me to grab them a water or pop if I'm putting gas in my ride and going in to pay. But I cringe when he does (did) it. Just so f'n cheap. Bust out a toonie once in awhile.
