Tight stingy people

[kale99]

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 ?

*oh noes

@WhateverJudy exactly and constantly repetition from posters writing the same thing. It’s not compulsory to comment you can scroll onto the next thread.

Ok I’ll have a crack at it. 🤣

Sarah is stingy

Sarah thinks Ashley is stingy

They were watching a program about cheapskates

Sarah said let’s watch Ashley on thr big screen, so basically saying thr cheapskate program Was about the third friend. Ashley, when clearly it wasn’t, she was being sarcastic

The op is confused on where they were when this occured.

She feels Sarah is the tight one. She doesn’t like Sarah. So she is asking, based on her snip about Ashley being the tight one, do people like Sarah not realise they are tight.

Yes, but It's still unclear if Ashly goes raving.

You lot smartarsing around on here would look a lot more clever if you checked your own posts for typos and autocorrects.

From the get go I’ve pictured Ashley as tall , quite solid and with black mid length hair. A little older than both Sarah and op.
Sarah looks very like the lovely Heather on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (well needs must in lockdown, eh?) despite not sounding lovely.
As for op - I’ve never been sure. But have thought she may be a bit younger.
Despite confusions had very clear picture.

What sauce was it?

@TemptedToSleepInTheShed 😂😂😂. I was wondering that too! I am totally confused now 😅

But to answer the original point, I dislike tight people and people who take advantage of others.

@MaskingForIt - would you still want to hang out with Sarah, when you were always ending up paying for her snacks, covering her share of the taxi fare or watching her drink the drinks you have bought her whilst never standing her own round?

And surely that behaviour qualifies as being a cheeky fucker who is happy to take advantage of her friends and colleagues, not ‘financially responsible’?

I think anyone who has persevered with all this thread, I've given up about half way through, deserves a medal.

Tight people don't realise they are tight
I went for a drink with a friend a got 1st drink in told them it was their round an they got there own drink. I said omg your tight an they went of on 1 saying I was cheeky and rude an they would never do anything again for me (they never did anyway). Safe to say we barely speak nowadays.

This thread is fab. I have no idea what's going on but love the fact that some people are trying to do so.

Do you have to be given a password to understand this thread? I am really confused

I wouldn’t be paying for her snack/taxi/drinks, I’d be telling her to stop being a cheeky fucker and pay her own way. I don’t have to pay for people to hang out with me.

It isn’t that Sarah is tight, she’s a CF.

OP you are a bit tight with your full stops, you can use them freely you know? You won’t run out of them.

What the fuck is going on?

@OldEvilOwl

What the fuck is going on?

The OP works with two women, Sarah and Ashley.

Both Ashley and Sarah are parsimonious in different ways. Sarah isn't shy of freeloading. Ashley doesn't freeload, she seems to just not spend her (or others) money - she doesn't appear to go out raving or borrow money like Sarah.

Sarah thinks Ashley is stingy and made a quip about a programme about cheapskates was about Ashley. This surprised the OP as Sarah is so tight fisted she doesn't repay money she's borrowed, avoids paying her fair share and takes more than her share of anything offered at no cost.

OP wanted to know of stingy people know they are stingy. The answer is clearly no. Sarah it seems is unaware. Ashley probably thinks she's careful with money.

Sarah is also unaware that her behaviour makes people thst she thinks view her as a friend not to like her and to resentfully tolerate her presence.

I’ve lost the will to live on this one!

The post is not difficult to understand and so I don’t know why people keep saying over and over it is, to be nasty to the OP. Unnecessary. If you don’t have anything constructive to say, leave the post.

OP, I had a friend like this. It’s not being tight, it’s being a CF. You need to boundary it even if it feels uncomfortable. So when she asks if she can take the sauce, say no unless you really don’t care - if it’s awkward, that’s her fault. When you go to a bar make her get a drink for everyone or don’t do rounds including her. When she owns you money, text her and ask her for it every day until she pays it and don’t give her a penny more until she does so. Then she will learn that she can’t treat you like shit.

While you carry on allowing it, she won’t change.

Mine never ever used to get my a birthday present even though I always got her something. Would give me an IOU and then never hear of it again. So I stopped getting her anything. One year her new partner sent me a text with a list of suggested gifts. I replied and just said we don’t do birthday gifts for each other. Got her a card. Never had another suggestion. One example of many.

Come back OP please , this is really making me chuckleWhat was the 'cheapskate program' on tv you were watching?

This thread is hilarious. I've not cried tears from laughter in a while. I absolutely would not have understood what the OP was on about without other posters explaining it.

I think Sarah sounds horrible and OP sounds like a mug TBH.

I don't understand how Sarah can't see herself as being tight or a complete cow. She deliberately goes out of her way not to pay for things and if she has to lend money she's very very very insistent about getting it back. OP you really need to get rid.

Do people who are totally incoherent know they're totally incoherent?
