The Cheapest Person I Know...

Some of these stories are quite funny... anyone out there know any cheapos? Submit your favorite story in the comments...

The best one I read from the link was, "My friend's Dad used to put the person he wanted his mail to go to in the return address area, and purposely forget postage. When it was returned, it wasn't returned to him; it was brought to the person he wanted to send it to!" WHAT? Who even thinks of these things?

My Dad's friend always orders water and lots of lemon, and then creates "lemonade" with the lemon, water, and the sugar on the table. Every single meal.

Haha! My story is that one of my friend was dating this guy whose's father is extremely wealthy (works with fiber optics). It also happens that the father is probably one of the cheapest people you'll ever meet. =)

The day after Thanksgiving last year, the father asked his son if he wanted to go to Best Buy when it opens at some god forsaken hour- like 5 in the morning. The son declined and said he would rather sleep in. You see the father wanted to get these mousepads that would originally sell for $10, since it was a sale the mousepads were going to go for $5. BUT the father also had a $5 rebate! So essentially the mousepads would have been free.

This is from a man who's company makes millions a year, he's willing to wake up at 4:30 in them morning just to save an extra few bucks. Amazing! My friend offered to loan him the $5 so that he could sleep in. lol
