TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

How we defeated the tightwadBlah blah, office of four, every friday pub for drinks, one sod never bought his round.
So far so dull. We did, however, manage to defeat the problem by inventing the fax machine sweepstake.
Our office fax machine was frequently spammed with air conditioning/car/computer/other sales faxes, so we instituted a sweepstake with one category each, and the person who received the most faxes having to buy the first round on friday.
It took him over 3 months to realise we were sending faxes expressing interest to air conditioning companies.
