What is the cheapest person you ever met?

Once in a restaurant, we saw this couple who refill their soda 5 times, and eatten 1/3 of their food. Before they left, they asked the waitress to get them to go drinking cups, and refill also.

    My friends and I used to go to this little Mexican restaurant and they would give free chips and salsa..so we would go and order water (free also) and eat chips and salsa..then leave a $2 tip and leave.

    I hate that. I don't know if this answers your question, but I'm a waitress and I have seen people eat 1/2-3/4 of their food and then have it sent back b/c it was too cold, too well done, or too rare. I always go over to my tables and make myself available while they are eating. I hate when they wait to the end.

    Then, of course, they get new free food!! Cheap and Tacky.

    Well I'm not as bad as some of the people I've read about in these answers, but I consider myself pretty cheap. When I eat out I usually eat half of what they give me (their portions are usually way too big anyway) and bring the rest home; that way I get two meals for the price of one! Or sometimes my wife and I will split a dish. Sure saves a lot of money!

    Once we saw 3 teens go to Taco Bell. They bought drinks and said there was bugs in the drink. So the man gave them a new cup. But they still kept the cup with the"bug". so when they were leaving they gave the drink to a friend.

    The cheapest person I ever met is my uncle, but I guess being cheap pays off. He now owns 2 beautiful houses (one in town - one out), around two thousand acres of land, and a luxurious million dollar + motor home, and he and my aunt travel the world 9 months out of the year. They raised 2 childeren, and my aunt never worked. He did not win or inherit anything, he retired from Whirlpool after thirty years of service.

    Since they paid probably $1.50 for unlimited refills of soda that cost the store about a dime I don't begrudge them their refills.

    Cheapest was an old relative of my wife's who was always looking to see how many cups of tea she could get out of one teabag. When her new daughter-in-law served tea with a fresh teabag in everyone's cup the old lady almost died of shock.

    A former workmate who came to play dominoes with us and would gladly accept his beer in all rounds, and then when it was his turn to pay for the round, he would stand up, go get only his beer, come back and sit on the table and continue playing like nothing happened. Lasted only a couple of nights, of course.

    Probably my ex-husband. He used to drive around the block for 10-15 minutes, hoping to find a parking meter with time on it!

    He would spend a dollar to save a dime.

    I would swear if you put a piece of coal up his butt, in no time at all you would have a diamond!
