That is stingy
Heard a good one this morning. A married couple who are friends with my life partner are both fairly minted, both have very well paying jobs but are as stingy as they come.
They are over in the UK this weekend for a party, there is also three other friends travelling to the same party on the same flight. The married couple are renting a car as they are visiting other friends in a nearby city the following day. Their hotel is close by to the hotel the other three are staying in which is around 25 minutes from the airport, last weekend the wife told the three friends that they can have a lift from the airport to the hotel if they liked. All three accepted and were delighted with the lift as it saved having to get a bus or organise a taxi.
The three of them got an email off the wife this morning informing them that it would be a €10 each if they want the lift.

Silly cunt.
We went to visit a couple at Xmas who had a newborn baby in October. The house was fucking freezing with both adults wearing wooly jumpers and the baby in all in one fleece. These would be both well paid civil servants and himself would also be running the family farm on the side.
When it came to coffee time it was Bewleys sachets… Clearly robbed from a hotel.
There is nothing worse than a stingy person but when they marry one of their own ilk it takes on a new dynamic altogether.

Same married couple bought a house in a leafy area of Dublin 6 for the bones of 700k earlier this year. Both would be on 6 figure salaries and both would still have their conformation money in savings
An engaged couple i know, both very good jobs with good pay, are about to buy a house. They’ve never lived together, your man lives at home with his mother and father, squirreling away all his money for years. Anyway that is besides the point. I says to him something along the lines of “It’ll be good now to get your own place, a bit of privacy and that. How big is the house?”. So he goes “It’s a four bed, but we’re going to rent out the other three rooms to get extra money.”
Mean bastards. They could comfortably afford the mortgage between them but instead are going to share their house with three strangers! And they about to get married!

Why didn’t he move her in with the mother altogether.
His mother and fathers place would be way too far away from where she works to commute daily. Otherwise i have no doubt she would have her legs under the table there instead.
They’ll be there now married with their good jobs, have never lived together before, starting off their new married life in their new house with three knuckle draggers sitting around playing the playstation, smoking fags, not washing up anything in the house, generally making a mess everywhere they go, like a student house all over again. How romantic.

a friend of the Brisbane Lion won a large amount of money in Bris Vegas on the lotto and soon became paranoid that people were trying to rip them off.
One time they were at a restaurant and when the free sorbet between courses came out they thought that somebody on the table had ordered it and was expecting them to pay for it so they stormed out seething

Sometimes I pity post-2011 TFK joiners - they won’t understand the context of this dinger of a post.
