After reading this thread I realize something.
I have just joined a forum with a quite a few thieves in it.

Broke the stack off my JD utility tractor. An old vegetable can and 2 U-clamps later, and I’m back in business.

Had a local tackle store get hit like that. Guy came in and bought 5 new baitcasting reels. Brought them back about 2 days later and returned them. On further investigation, he had taken all the major internal parts out of them and replaced them with worn out shite from his own reels

Good friend of our family growing up was LOADED. Other than having his own helicopter and plane—and I’m aware how contradictory this sounds—you’d never know it.
This baw had his secretaries mark across every single sheet of paper that had already been printed, flip them over, and load them back in the printer to be used again.
When challenged on the opportunity costs of his protocol, he had actually dug into the numbers and swore it was cheaper. Now this was back in the late 80s early 90s when fancy collating, front-and-back printing machines were still fairly new and expensive, plus I’m pretty sure he has a touch of the Asperger’s, so I tend to believe him
Same guy got into a heated argument with our preacher at a deacons meeting over tithing, insisting the 10% should be calculated on take-home income after taxes.
He also submitted a toll receipt, maybe $2 dollars, to the church for reimbursement after driving the church van for a youth group trip

I was living in the Pentagon Dorm in 1985/1986. The cafeteria was closed on weekends. I had $10 to last me until Monday when the cafeteria reopened.
I walked to the Mr. Gattis nearby and hit the buffet. I put about 12 pieces of pizza in my back pack and ate it on Saturday and Sunday.
Sometimes we would spend almost all our money Saturday night at Shannahans and The Bengal on beers. I used my $5.00 left over and ate at the buffet at Ponchos around 3pm on Sunday. It would last me until Monday. However, we destroyed the bathroom everytime and swore we would never do it again. (But we did)

Brought two coupons to a pizza place. They told me I could only use one coupon at a time. I said come on it’s New Years and I have my kids in my car. I said this half joking with a smile on my face. The manager then gave me the entire meal for free.

My sales job with per dime didn’t even require receipts. I got $60/day and I could spend as little or much as I wanted.

That is not cheap that is criminal theft and you should do jail time for it.

Ha! Don’t remember, probably just carried it out and threw it away. Also usually got the BBQ which had a little thicker sauce in it that would stick to the sausages more than the broth

In college, the credit card companies would come to prey on the students and offer a free pizza coupon for signing up for a credit card.
I would sign up with a SSN in which each digit was one number higher than my real one and I used a fake addy. If they were suspicious, they would ask for the SSN back. And I easily could rattle it back off.
Many free pizzas from that.
And one of my roommates would put zip lock bags in the dishwasher.

I’ve never done it but my dad used to take saran-wrapped chili dogs in his coat to football games.

In college, I think I ate only Totinos pizzas ($.79) and ramen ($.15) for a couple of months.

I bought a fairly expensive required book in college from a bookstore…
Barley opened it and certainly didn’t write in it
After passing the class, I took the book back to the same bookstore and they wouldn’t accept it because of too much writing and highlights in the book leaving me with a $350+ book that I had no use for.
I cut out the highlighted and underlined pages and sold that summbitch back to the bookstore and didn’t feel bad for a second about doing it.
Sorry if you got that book and failed. Not my fault

Two total a-hole moves:
Found a handicap parking sticker walking up Baxter after a UGA game. Used that to park for free on campus for my junior year. Felt guilty about it and threw away the sticker.
My roommate and I would go to WaffleHouse and order right before shift change at 9pm. No one would come back to the table after we got our food so we never left a tip. Probably did this weekly for 2 years.

I definitely would have drunk it if it was the BBQ kind.

Mail a letter without a stamp. You put the address you want it to actually go to in the return address. You put whatever in the address. No stamp so it gets returned to return address. Did it all the time in college.
I always wondered if that worked, but I never mail letter’s anymore.
