We all know people who are pretty cheap when it comes to spending money. No matter how much they have, they don’t want to give it up. Even if it means they make the people around them suffer, or you know–they look really f**king cheap–they don’t care.
As long as they have their money, they’re happy. But, sometimes, our cheap-o friends and family can do some ridiculous, outrageous, and embarrassing things to save a buck. People on Reddit are sharing the cheapest things they’ve ever seen someone do and, ouch, I’d hate to have my spot blown up like this.

Had a friend that would pay for his bar tab using all of our tips. He was caught after our regular waitress got fed up with not getting much of a tip after having a full table all night and having a chat with us, we were all good tippers so it made no sense. The next time we went to the bar we all threw our money on the table as usual, all except one. Dave. We had never really watched before because we didn’t think we had to. His excuse was that our tips always more than covered his bill as well as leaving some extra for the waitress. We stopped inviting Dave out.

friend of mine would join us to dinner to lets say applebees. He’d order a side dish/or nothing at all, then wait till everyones done eating, and say hey you going to finish that burger/fries/chicken to everyone who had left overs. Then make him self a full plate/meal with everyones leftovers and eat it.

My cousins didn’t know that ketchup & mustard came in bottles because my uncle would just steal packets from McDonald’s to use at home.
They were by no means struggling. He was just very, very cheap. So cheap it was an artform. He also drank creamers at diners and took all the jam on the table…except for grape because he found out somewhere that grape was the least expensive of the jams, so he left it to be spiteful.

I paid a shawarma for me and a friend; After he eats half of it, he offers to sell me the remainder.

My friend in college would never buy a chaser for his liquor and always used other peoples’ or whatever he could find in the refrigerator of a given party. Needless to say, he drank a ton of milk with his whiskey during our time as undergrads.

Stuffing their date in the trunk so they wouldn’t have to pay for their ticket at the drive-in

One of my college roommates would take double-stuffed Oreos out of our other roommate’s package and replace them with his own single-stuffed Oreos

I was giving a dude a ride home one time and all of a sudden he yells “Dude pull over real quick!!” And I pull over, confused and a little freaked out.
He runs up to some random persons front porch, steals some cigarette butts out of their ash tray and comes back. Says to me, “Betcha didn’t see those over there did you” all proud of himself. I wanted to throw up lol

My grandfather told his friends to stop visiting because he didn’t like them flushing the toilet and washing their hands, thus increasing his water bill.

My gf’s ex would bring a slice of cheese to work to put on the hamburger’s he’d buy for lunch. He thought paying extra for cheese was crazy when he could buy a huge package from costco for a few cents per slice. He wasn’t wrong, just cheap.

My aunt is a fucking multi millionaire who owns apartment buildings in Menlo Park CA. She is a notorious cheapskate. Just 2 days ago she gave my daughter a used sippy cup complete with teeth marks (that she had undoubtedly picked up at a garage sale or thrift store) as a 1st birthday present.
In the trash it went.

I went over a friends house for dinner in elementary school and at the end of the meal the dad told everyone to dump whatever juice or milk they didn’t finish back in the original jug to put back in the fridge.
I felt like gagging after having drunk their Sunny D.

You know how Chinese restaurants give you hot tea for free? My uncle used to ask for as much hot tea as possible, then put it into Thermos’s to keep for later.

My friend, when he goes to Movie Theater, is waiting in a Bathroom for 30 min, locked in, feet on the toilet bowl, so he can watch the next movie for free.

I had a roommate, one day we’re at a gas station, my total is like $8.26. I had $8 and a $100 bill. They couldn’t break the hundred so I asked him for 26 cents. Three weeks later when rent was due he gave me his portion of the rent minus 26 cents… I literally had a jar in the living room full of daily pocket change. He could have grabbed it anytime or more and I wouldn’t have cared, but never said a thing. That was the cheapest thing I’ve ever seen.

Late but, I was once eating at a Costco’s outside food court, where they have ketchup, mustard, relish and onion dispensers. A saw a mini van pull up to the curb, a woman hopped out with a large zip lock and filled it with chopped onions. She ran back to the van and left! Cheap and lazy, onions aren’t expensive in the least.

Roomate in college would wash out his condoms and reroll them.
Dude fucked a different girl everyday, used 1 condom a week.

My mother went all the way back to the grocery store after discovering her 8-piece bucket of fried chicken only had 7 pieces LOL she made us drive back almost 30 minutes in rush hour traffic for a chicken wing.
