My friend Todd is clearly, the cheapest person I know. This was many years ago, when 4 of us went to DisneyWorld in Orlando on vacation for 5 days.
At the time, I was a Concierge for Westin Hotels here in Los Angeles. So, I got 2 rooms at The Disney Swan Resort for free. My friend Todd worked for Disneyland, as did the 2 other guys who went with. They could sign themselves in and me as one of their guests. And, on top of that, Todd's airline ticket was free through his frequent flyer.
He didn't want to buy breakfast because it was so expensive...didn't want to eat anything in the park, because it was so expense. All he did was whine and complain and wring his hands with worry, about how expensive everything was. By, the 3rd day, we were ready to kill him. At dinner on the 3rd day, I couldn't stand it anymore. I turned to him and said, "Why are we here? Why did you come if you're going to nickel and dime everything to death. You've paid nothing to be here, and you're still ungrateful. SHUT UP! If you're so miserable, then go home."
He shut right up and didn't talk to me for the rest of the trip. A few weeks later he called and said he was sorry. But, he still didn't "get it." We're still friends, but I vowed never again to take a vacation with him. NO WAY!

"that guy on the Jerry Springer episode who made his wife seperate the two-ply toilet paper so it would last twice as long."
You still, more-or-less, use the same amount of toilet paper. Each sheet is just thinner but you take a longer piece.
It's like getting double ply paper towels. You can either use 1 double-ply paper towels or 2 1 ply paper towels.

Posted: 12/20/07 at 9:04pmOne of my friends that will remain nameless is very miserly with her $$$. Granted we are college students and don't have loads of money , but her parents fork over time to time to her. Well whenever we go out she insists to go to the places that have the Happy Hour food bar with the nachos and Buffalo Wings and other goodies that are free. That way she doesn't have to pay for a dinner meal, just her drinks.

I know this one girl who was invited to this ice cream party some people were having, where sundaes were made and movies watched etc, and everyone brought ice cream and shared it.
She bought four tubs of vanilla ice cream and came three and a half hours late, so no one was hungry anymore, and no one ate any, and she made everyone pay two bucks each for the ice cream, and she took it home.

No, I think that's how he STAYED a millionaire. 
The money comes from the family's almond farm.

I had the weirdest dream about this thread.
LizzieCurry told us that if we all met at a restaurant, we'd each have to give her 20$ before we ate or drank anything. After the check was paid, she would give any money back to us that wasn't needed for the check.
She didn't want to end up paying for a cheapskate.

Posted: 12/23/07 at 1:17pmMy mother's friend. Both she and he husband have government jobs and easily clear $100,000 a year each. However, I've probably spent more money in my twenty years alive than she has in sixty. Last year, she returned the same outfit to Macy's six times and then rebought it, every time at a lower sale price. She also refused to pay for one of her children's college education because she thought it would be a waste of money, since--in her own words--he's "not the sharpest tool in the shed and isn't going to end up doing anything productive with his life."
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

WTF!
Should I laugh at that or be offended by your subconscious?!
