I remembered selling my subwoofer and amp to someone pretty cheap as it is. The dude asked if I could deliver it. The guy lived in Stockton (or some place in central CA). I'm in San Leandro. I was sitting there thinking, "You've got to be kidding me, man." At least he had the decency to stop by my work in Fremont to come get it. I'm not driving 100 miles round trip to deliver something I'm not getting much value for in the first place.
the best is when you go out to dinner with a group of friends and some people have hella drinks & expensive food + dessert. then when it comes to pay the bill, they offer to split the check evenly with everyone else after running up the bill $100-200 by themselves... haha. **** that. i swear, everyone conveniently forgets about tax/tip let alone remember what they ordered.
There have been times when we all go out to eat, and when the bill comes, someone *****es when we want to split it evenly because they didn't have any of the appetizer, or they only ordered a coke and not beer, or because they only ordered a $10 entree when everyone else ordered a $13 entree. Seriously? GTFO.

I mean, it'd be different if one of the guys ordered a $100 bottle of wine which no one else drank, but to quibble over a few bucks between friends is, to me, being a cheap bastard.

My example is when someone gets 5-10 beers/shots and thinks tossing a $20 in will cover his meal & drinks + tax/tip
Paying 1/10 of what was charged & trying to get everyone else to cover it is a douchebag move.

I'm not talking about $10 vs $13. I'm sure nobody cares about that or will whip out a calculator.

that's just a subset of the stories I have. Just about all of them end similarly to what you describe though. -- Ed
