A former co-worker of mine is one of the biggest misers on the planet.

He was going to visit his nephew in Toronto and was going to be driving. He was driving from Columbus along with his wife and elderly mother.

Once they got back from Toronto, he had the gall to ask his mother to pay for 1/3 of the gas money.

And this guy was in his early 50's at the time!!

Well done, Gator. It's never too late to shame them into donating, even if it's only 5 lousy bucks.

My brother-in-law. He hates paying tips so much he tries to find anything wrong with the service or meal at a restaurant so he feels justified in not tipping. :tongue2:

The mother-in-law comes a close second. She believes free is the best price.

My mother once scraped some jelly off my piece of toast back into the jar; when I was a child we lived 30 miles from Baltimore, MD and never went to a baseball game because they were "too expensive", we only went to Reds games when we visited relatives because we got free tickets; my mother once asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas, she responded 'a bottle of Grand Marnier', my mother got her one piece of candy with Grand Marnier in it; when they got back from a trip to Arizona my mother said she bought me a souvenir, a small package of Armour-all wipes she probably picked up for 50 cents at a store checkout stand.

Too tired to go on, I could literally go for an hour.

My buddies and I play cards. It was always such a pain in the ass for everyone to BYO, or remember to bring some singles to chip in on the pizzas or whatever, or have the same person always have to shoo his family out for the evening, or make the Columbus guys drive down to Lancaster all the time, etc ... So we started this deal where we rotate houses and everyone takes turn hosting our get-togethers. The host is responsible for everything, buying everyones' preferred brew and providing dinner.

Now, when I or most everybody else hosts, we make sure that Blue Moon-guy has a six of Blue Moon Belgian White in the fridge, and Bud Light-guy has a twelve of Bud Light, and Mr. Non Drinker has two 2-litres of Mountain Dew, and so on, plus have all the makings for a full three or four course meal. When I host I've got $50 in the beer, not counting my full liquor cabinet that is free-for-all, plus another $40-50 in the meal. I know my hosting turn is going to be at least a hundred bones, and I'm fine with that because I like to treat my friends right. Plus, I know they'll return the favor on their turns. They'll all do the same for me.

Except for this one guy. When it's his turn to host, he buys two cases of Milwaukee's Best and boils some hot dogs.

Oh yeah. But they're expensive all-beef hot dogs. :shake:
