Yeah, I learned that lesson once. It sucked.

A guy I was friends with.. And still friends with today, but we were closer in HS.. Anyway, his daddy was cheap.. And he took after his daddy. When he would go out on a date or something, he would come to my house or other dude's houses when he knew we were not home and tell our parents that he came pick up a shirt he let us use, go through our clothes and take a shirt or whatever. Pants, etc..

There used to be this local bar we would all go to, you could get in at 18 but wasn't supposed to buy until 21, but on the weekends they charged a fee at the door. This dude would dress down and talk someone into paying his entry fee.

After we graduated, he went work in a plant. Him and another guy would switch up. One week one would drive, the next week the other. When he drove he never ran the A/C because it used up more gas.

Today he owns a bunch of rental apartments that he and his daddy built (his daddy was a contractor and he learned from him). He builds a few houses here and there. When he graduated his dad gave him $10k and he took that and all the other money he got and put it in the stock market. He is in his mid 40s and pretty much works as he pleases, but spends a lot of time working on a bunch of property he bought in Mississippi.

Its good to be cheap.. Or be aware of what you spending money on, but then there is too cheap. This dude is too cheap.

Hate to tell you….. your VIN number won’t match the motor.

OweO,
Might I suggest …

Also, try shorthand.

Farmer I knew (now deceased) ran out of gas. Along came one of his field hands driving a company truck. Told him to go into town to buy some gas. The guy said, "why don't I just go get gas from the pump at your tractor shop?" Man said "No, the gas in town is cheaper"

Your mom!

We lived in a duplex when I was a little kid, probably about 4. One evening the owner, who lived on the other side invited us to eat. Think we had pork chops. There was a little jar of tooth picks on the center of the table with a cotton ball in the bottom. After eating the landlord grabbed a toothpick and so did my dad. Well, when the landlord finished picking his teeth, he put the toothpick back in the jar. My dad almost calmly just got up and left for a minute outside. He later told us he almost threw up. We laughed about it for a while. Re-using toothpicks?

Reminded me of something my buddy told me about. His wife interned at her friend’s dad’s company. Financial advisor or something like that.

Baw was reusing paper coffee filters and K-cups. Gross

Not me, but my father in law used to take his family to different hotels in the mornings, very frequently, for free breakfast. My wife says he would just play it cool like they were already staying there and tell them to do the same. So fricking trashy lol

Found out you could tap out phone numbers on the receiver in the frat house phone that didn't have a dial back in 1981. 8 taps for 8, 7 for 7 etc.

Free long distance calls to my girlfriend. Till the bill came in. Seems having no dial doesn't = free. Replaced that phone with a payphone with the quickness.

Technically he swapped them. Least he wasn’t a tpos and sawzaw their cats for extra spending money

Excuse me, what

---

1. Least = at least
2. tpos = thug piece of shite
3. sawzaw = Sawzall, a reciprocating saw
4. cats = catalytic converters

If you're asking why he thinks stealing tires is less of a tpos move than stealing cats, then I'm as lost as you.
