Some are kind and generous – others are mean and stingy. Sometimes it all depends on the way people raise their children, as most of one's character traits and quirks are adopted from their parents. However, it might also be that financial insecurity could've been influenced by the financial status of one's family. Thus, a common reason why someone displays signs of stinginess is probably emotional trauma. People overlooked their family struggle and took their insecurity to adulthood, simultaneously believing that money is something that they "lack". Stingy folks have a hard time giving, and in fact, such a thing is not only associated with money per se, as it also affects the emotional aspects of a person. An online user took it to one of Reddit's communities and asked fellow members to share their stories about encountering some of the stingiest folks ever. The post received over 2.3K upvotes and nearly 5K worth of gripping stories and comments. More info: Reddit This post may include affiliate links. #1 I went for a meal with a group of about 6 friends. When it came time to divvy up the bill one friend said he hadn't got cash on him, but if we all chipped in the cash for our share he would put it on his card. He was also very keen to ensure we all put in a decent tip (in the UK, so tipping is common in a restaurant, but not 'required').
Our friend went up to the bar to pay, but unfortunately for him another member of our party went to the restroom at the same time, and was surprised to notice him paying in cash. We pulled him up on this, and it turned out the stingy bastard was using our tips to cover his part of the meal!
This chap has forevermore been ribbed as having short arms and deep pockets. He is trusted by no one!

Whatever the cause, her next bill was for both that month and the previous month and included a late fee that was less than the cost of a stamp.
For the rest of her life she skipped the bill one month and then paid both the next because she saved a few cents by using just one stamp instead of two. This was a woman who had somewhere around a million dollars in the bank when she passed away.

After we're done, he drives me home and on the way we stop at the local country store to buy a soda and snack. I didn't expect him to pay for me because I had my own money now that I'd just earned raking his yard so I put my merch on the checkout counter and then he slides his stuff beside mine like he's going to pay except he didn't. The clerk looks to me since I had money out to pay for it and he looks at me too as if to say, "well, pay her." I was confused, but paid for it. He apologized later and I lost respect for him. roonerspize , David Morris Report Final score: 215points POST Mr. Sasquatch Guy Mr. Sasquatch Guy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Wow.

When I returned to ask if they wanted dessert, she asks "where are my leftovers?"
I calmly responded that she had no food left on her plate. Her response "oh I wanted you to box up the skin from my baked potato so I could give it to my dog."

1. Uses my SO's and my toothpaste
2. Picks my used razors out of the trashcan and uses them on himself
3. When it's his turn to buy toilet paper, he buys a 4-pack of the smallest, s***tiest-quality TP he can find. I'm pretty sure he'd buy one roll at a time if he could
4. Used my shampoo and tried to hide it by putting water in it back up to full
5. When SO began his brewing hobby, roommate was all for helping out in exchange for beer... until he realized he was expected to chip in (and help with the process). That partnership ended REAL quick.
6. Broke the toaster trying to cook hashbrowns in it (and I don't mean the oval-shaped ones). Tried to buy one at a c***py thrift shop and complained he had to buy a brand new one at full price. A whopping $30.
Real winner, he is.

30 Times People Were So Cheap That Folks In This Online Community Thought They Went Too Far
Darja Zinina andSaulė Tolstych
Publish Not your original work? Add source There are a bunch of people on this planet with very contrasting and sometimes even surprising personalities. Some are kind and generous – others are mean and stingy. Sometimes it all depends on the way people raise their children, as most of one's character traits and quirks are adopted from their parents. However, it might also be that financial insecurity could've been influenced by the financial status of one's family. Thus, a common reason why someone displays signs of stinginess is probably emotional trauma. People overlooked their family struggle and took their insecurity to adulthood, simultaneously believing that money is something that they "lack". Stingy folks have a hard time giving, and in fact, such a thing is not only associated with money per se, as it also affects the emotional aspects of a person. An online user took it to one of Reddit's communities and asked fellow members to share their stories about encountering some of the stingiest folks ever. The post received over 2.3K upvotes and nearly 5K worth of gripping stories and comments. More info: Reddit This post may include affiliate links. #1 I went for a meal with a group of about 6 friends. When it came time to divvy up the bill one friend said he hadn't got cash on him, but if we all chipped in the cash for our share he would put it on his card. He was also very keen to ensure we all put in a decent tip (in the UK, so tipping is common in a restaurant, but not 'required').
Our friend went up to the bar to pay, but unfortunately for him another member of our party went to the restroom at the same time, and was surprised to notice him paying in cash. We pulled him up on this, and it turned out the stingy bastard was using our tips to cover his part of the meal!
This chap has forevermore been ribbed as having short arms and deep pockets. He is trusted by no one!

View more comments #2 My grandmother, as she didn't own a computer, had to mail in all her bill payments. One month she didn't get her water bill or it was delivered to someone else by accident. Whatever the cause, her next bill was for both that month and the previous month and included a late fee that was less than the cost of a stamp.
For the rest of her life she skipped the bill one month and then paid both the next because she saved a few cents by using just one stamp instead of two. This was a woman who had somewhere around a million dollars in the bank when she passed away.

After we're done, he drives me home and on the way we stop at the local country store to buy a soda and snack. I didn't expect him to pay for me because I had my own money now that I'd just earned raking his yard so I put my merch on the checkout counter and then he slides his stuff beside mine like he's going to pay except he didn't. The clerk looks to me since I had money out to pay for it and he looks at me too as if to say, "well, pay her." I was confused, but paid for it. He apologized later and I lost respect for him. roonerspize , David Morris Report Final score: 215points POST Mr. Sasquatch Guy Mr. Sasquatch Guy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Wow.

When I returned to ask if they wanted dessert, she asks "where are my leftovers?"
I calmly responded that she had no food left on her plate. Her response "oh I wanted you to box up the skin from my baked potato so I could give it to my dog."

View more comments #5 Well, my roommate, despite often bragging about how much money he has saved up and buying weed every other day (so he's clearly got plenty to spend)...
1. Uses my SO's and my toothpaste
2. Picks my used razors out of the trashcan and uses them on himself
3. When it's his turn to buy toilet paper, he buys a 4-pack of the smallest, s***tiest-quality TP he can find. I'm pretty sure he'd buy one roll at a time if he could
4. Used my shampoo and tried to hide it by putting water in it back up to full
5. When SO began his brewing hobby, roommate was all for helping out in exchange for beer... until he realized he was expected to chip in (and help with the process). That partnership ended REAL quick.
6. Broke the toaster trying to cook hashbrowns in it (and I don't mean the oval-shaped ones). Tried to buy one at a c***py thrift shop and complained he had to buy a brand new one at full price. A whopping $30.
Real winner, he is.
