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 ?

My God, what a star/talent.

May you bathe in asses' milk.

Ha ha !
I couldn’t fit in the scenes in the supermarket, the holiday bar, the boss’s snack incident at work etc. But felt good to get the origin story laid out as a storyboard.

Love the diagram !! It was perinaise sauce !! The programme is called cheapskates on YouTube 😊😊

Thankyou to the 4 or 5 people who have tried to explain what this thread is all about.
I can't remember being so confused at a MN thread, ever.

Dump Sarah. Move on.

Heron! Genius!

Please, please use a full stop OP. 😫

I think people often project their flaws on other people - so someone who is rude is often accusing other people of being rude. I have a friend overseas who has commented on me being tight with money, who sends only very light things when she sends things over (no beef with that) but who has a habit of requesting I send her specific, heavy things which are therefore expensive to send. I dont think she has any awareness she does this, and as she is otherwise a really nice person, I just kind of get on with it (and sometimes say no I wont).

At a time when we were speaking...my very abusive sister hid the nice spreadable cheese under her husband newspaper at breakfast after I had stayed the night.
She knows I love cheese and was always very tight with things. Would take the tiniest amount from an already tiny tub of somthing to keep it longer.
If she saw someone else use anything liberally that she had put on offer you could see the horror on her face.

As kids she would sit with Easter eggs close to her side,out of view and break off very tiny little pieces. Keeping them for weeks then gleam with delight,the second I finished my last one telling me she had loads left very good love.

She loathes handing money over for anything and will always give voucher so she doesn't have to hand over her actual cash to anyone. She had a summer job at 16 when I was 12..mum asked if she'd perhaps like to give a pound or two to her little sister each week for sweets as that's what big bro's and sister did. Well....she went berserk. Handed me 2 pounds in very tiny change with a tight fist, one time. Never again.

When people give her kids gifts that she didn'toversee you buying from her lists...she takes them away and uses them to give to her children herself at a later date or to use as regifts.
