Skin Flints...
15 Answers
Molly's stalk question made me think of this.
Our accountant/office landlord and his wife have a place in Thailand that they stay at over Christmas. He came in yesterday to do some bits around the yard and told us he had put new signs up to show where the fire hose was. Upon checking out the sign, most of it was in whatever language they speak in Thailand (<--- yes, dumb). It probably cost him about 20p instead of the 50p it would have cost him in a shop round here.
Do you have any skin flint habits which you swear by?

worst one i knew (am sure ive mentioned before on here) was a mate who was only caught out by chance.
We used to regularly go out as a huge group of friends for meals. One guy never had cash on him so told us he would pay by card. He would collect everyones money plus our shares of tips and go and pay.
One day another friend, on way back from loo, found him paying the whole bill with our cash and tips, the tip covering the cost of his meal lol
