The tightest thing I ever saw someone do was a police chase back in the 90’s where a Ford Granada tried to squeeze through 2 bollards that weren’t big enough for a push bike

Then just to make sure 2 police cars one after another rammed it in just a bit further just to make sure it wasn’t going to fit through

By god did me and my mates laugh

Not sure if this was tightness or genuine misunderstanding of how much normal people eat, but 5 of us visited a friend back in student days, and she'd bought one pizza. For 6 people. Mind blown.

Everyone felt too bad to say anything, but there was lots of booze so we all forgot out hunger pangs pretty quickly.

My ex wife’s grandparents used to wash cling film and hang it on the line.

They also tried switching the car engine off when cruising down a large hill to save petrol. Steering lock came on and it didn’t end well….

Gibraltar/Cheshire/London

I attended a wedding when I was young and we stopped in a posh hotel along with many other guests.

At breakfast the father of the groom (we were on the bride's side) called the waiter to say he'd dropped his top hat and he'd dented it. The waiter called the concierge and he whisked it away.

Later we were in the lobby waiting to go to the wedding and the concierge returns and gives the man his topper back looking like brand new. The concierge explained he'd taken it across town to a gents outfitters and got it steamed and reshaped for him.

The man grunted and gave the concierge a tip for his troubles: He begrudgingly slipped him 10p

Yep. Ten whole pence.

My grandad would take an age opening presents. Never ripped but carefully undone the wrapping papper so it could be reused. He also cut his newspaper into squares and they got hung in the loo on a bit of string to use instead of toilet paper.

Working in a hotel without a lift I was used to carrying luggage. But the guy with a wardrobe for a suitcase sprawled in the back of a taxi as I had to heave his weighty case into the back sticks in my mind. Never even offered a few pence for a tip. Nothing.

Customary to tip. I offered to carry Marco Pierre White’s cases as was our job he simply said no thank you and happy new year.

Many people tipped for nothing really especially husbands when you sold the room to their excited wives.

Once went to the chippy for everyone on site and they had all given me their order and cash etc. I dished out all the food and the change to everyone. And most if it was like 10/20p would say keep it. One guy asked me for his penny back.

Same but I’d others ask for it it’s fine , not everyone has same level of disposable income even between friends and family.

I used to work for a billionaire architect and he had a 8 bed house in the park with no central heating, I went for dinner once his wife and kids were all wrapped up in blankets it was so cold and there were buckets catching rain leaking through all three stories into the dining room

After covid

We did the Eat Out to Help Out thing

And we got something like 30% off the bill

The restaurant were so lovely and desperate to claw back some business

Our bill was roughly 15 quid each and my friend refused as he tallied his up and only owed £12.36

And then made the waitress put that exact amount on his card

Oh and BTW... he's well off too

He no doubt designed the place (badly) as a passive house. And like any good architect will never (ever) admit to getting anything wrong.

I know someone who boiled the kettle and filled a flask so he could have hot drinks all day without paying to reboil the kettle...

He also took all the sugar etc from any and every shop that offered it...

Whilst he's charging his phone...

Surely that’s just the natural progression of stealing from the stationary cupboard which we all know has been a worker’s right since the industrial revolution

During lockdown my company provided all packed lunches to prevent queuing at the food truck. On a Friday it was breakfast rolls, bacon, sausage etc. An ex manager now shop floor who used to brag about how big his pension was, used to take the remaining rolls home so that he could "wash the bacon and sausage and refry them for his weekend breakfasts"

Not all Tories are bad. My MP is a tory and he's really working hard, Google Walleys Quarrey and he's also called out Boris in Parliment for the private party scandal. He's a top bloke.

For everyone else who replied to me as you all had the same point, he was a twat, still is a that and the last I heard is a chronic alcoholic. I'm glad he's no longer in my life.
