Do people who are tight know they are tight ? My friend "Sarah" is the stingiest person Iv ever met the other day we were watching a programme about cheapskates and she said let's watch "Ashley on the big screen "and laughed just wondering if you were tight do you know you are and would you be offended if I told you that I think your tight ?

Is Sarah in your bubble? Or were you watching TV in the garden?

kale99 · 29/01/2021 10:36

In my bubble we work together

It doesn't sound like you like her very much.

MaskingForIt that dig was bang out of order Angry

So you only value the opinions of people who are good at English?

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 29/01/2021 10:37

I'm still really confused as to who Ashley is

sqirrelfriends · 29/01/2021 10:37

Btw everyone in your workplace isn't in your bubble. Yes you see them at work but that doesn't mean they can all come to your house.

kale99 · 29/01/2021 10:38

@JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows basically Sarah was slagging our friend Ashley as in she was in the cheapskates programme

[quote kale99]@JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows basically Sarah was slagging our friend Ashley as in she was in the cheapskates programme [/quote]
...so, you have a friend called Ashley who was on the cheapskates programme and Sarah wanted to watch to laugh at her cheapskateness and you're sitting thinking "you're the same what a hypocrite"?
If so, and I mean this nicely, that context would have been helpful in your OP if you don't want a thread of confused posters. because you can't expect strangers on the internet to know that your friend was in a cheapskate programme if you don't tell them

I only value the opinions of people who have a reasonable grounding for their opinions, yes. Otherwise I’d just believe any old nonsense that people come out with.

So Ashley was on tv and Sarah was making fun of her, but Sarah us super tight herself.

It's a "pot, kettle" situation?

Ikora · 29/01/2021 10:43

I hope those aren’t their real names.

That’s on you. Next time she “forgets” her purse, she hasn’t to leave her snacks at the supermarket.

Next time she appears at the bar, tell her it is her round.

People can only walk all over you if you let them.

tobedtoMNandfart · 29/01/2021 10:44

Sarah is tight.
Other friend Ashley is also tight.
Sarah makes 'joke' that tight Ashley should be on cheapskate TV programme.
OP is aghast that Sarah recognises that Ashley is tight and is asking does Sarah realise that Sarah is tight.
HTH.

kale99 · 29/01/2021 10:44

Sorry Ashley wasn't on tv but Sarah was pretending that she was because she likes to save money sorry should have been more clear yes these are fake names

That's fair enough but why the low dig at the OP's literacy skills?
