I hate people like you. You're embarrassing to be around. If you have to haggle it down like a street bum, maybe you should look at a cheaper item. The few people I know like this have turned my disdain into hatred. I had a guy I work with flip out over an 11.00 ticket for pictures at a store one day. He griped enough that the manager came out and gave him the pictures for half price. He grinned, paid, and walked out. I hope people of your kind get broadsided by a tanker truck loaded down with gasoline and you die a fiery death.

Hey, no hard feelings bro. I enjoy keeping as much of my money in my pocket as possible. Whether it's mortgage rates and origination amounts or prices on a new car, I've saved myself and family thousands of dollars and put money in their pockets.

I'd rather do that than give my money away in situations where I didn't have to.

Working in the mortgage business helped crystallize my perception of folks that adhere to your frame of reference on subjects like this. There were many customers whose situations ended up costing them more than what they originally told myself and my company was their "bottom line". Yet when I got the deal done, regardless if it met their bottom line requirements, I was never afraid to pitch the deal.

If they said no, I understood why. But many, many people said yes, regardless. Ultimately, I'm not afraid to ask for-or be told no on-a deal.

But again, to each their own!
