penny pinching

topic posted Sat, January 19, 2008 - 8:18 AM by  Danielle
so, i chew trident gum and that stuff is gettin way expensive. the second you get out a pack of gum you have 50 hands reachin out for a piece. naturally, i split the piece in half to double the portion.. i dont know why people get pissed at me. the pack lasts twice as long that way. i mean, why do i have to be the cheap bitch? they're the ones they cant go out and buy their own pack.. anyone else have issues with your money saving ways? i mean, do people make comments about it or whatever?

    If someone *offered* me a piece of gum I would expect a full stick, unless there wasn't enough to give a full stick to everybody it was offered to... BUT.... if you didn't offer and they're just sticking their hand out I'm with ya. To me that just sounds like a bunch of mooches, which is the "no class" version of penny pinching - especially if they're bitching about how much they get and/or making this a frequent habit.... just my .02
