This is a question Tightwads

There'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.

A late entry - The Ex's Parents
I used to go out with a girl whom at the time was just 17 (I was about 20). She was at her local college doing a GNVQ and living at home. She also lived about 100 miles from me.
But I drove so wasnt a problem.

She didnt work, so was pretty much still financially reliant on her parents. Her parents were strange sorts, she was a full time teacher and he was a director in a local firm. So their household income was obviously quite high. So much so that she wasnt elligable for that money you get when you stay on into Further Education.

Her older brother worked, and as such had to pay them rent. What was strange is that the house was plain empty. In the sense of, they had nothing worth anything in there. Thei Living room TV was an old 20" crap box that needed a smack to get going. They didnt even have a freeview box.

My ex's clothes were ripping off her becuase they were old and tatty yet they never gave her money to buy new ones. But would happily grill her for looking stupid wearing old tatty clothes!

For her 18th Birthday, yhey bought her a computer. I say bought, I think her dad nicked it from the skip from work. It was some old Compaq Deskpro thing which barely ran Windows XP. Had no sound card or CD drive or anything. It booted to a corporate version of Windows and had an install of Office on it. It still had group policies on it and was really tied down.
As a present I managed to fish for her a TV card, DVD Player, Sound Card & more RAM, just to make the PC some use other than work!

The real piss take came when I was going there for the weekend, but the parents were away. So we had the house to ourselves. Which was nice. Except they left her with no money and no food what so ever in the house. When she said "What am I going to eat?" they said "Well Miggyman is coming, he'll take you out"

So they expected me to have the money to take her out for food or buy food in. I had to keep that girl alive that weekend!

Really wasnt impressed.

This
Let's take it further though - compulsory sterilisation for tightwads among others.






Compulsory sterilisation has become a theme with me trying to work it into as many QOTW as I can.

I've been keeping tabs on your posts
Miggyman.

You seem a bit of a pushover with the ladies :P

Think you should show some balls and start ass-raping some of them if they are so desperate for moneys =)
