Are you a penny pincher?

[thrillathahunt]

Let's hear your confessions.

 

[ivan salis]

I am a "penny hustler" yes -- but not a "tightwad" type miser

I will not pass up ANY dropped change *

at my local stores --- I check out the coinstar and the copy machines coin reject slots (any other vending type machines are fair game too )--

while driving along -- any shiney item will be scoped out --tools that are road drops will be going home with me --- curb side item (with former owners ok) that are set out as junk are inspected , couches checked for change , drawers on old dressers opened and checked both inside and bottoms as well. --useful items and good scrap metal taken as well.

 

[thrillathahunt]

Ivan, are we related?

 

[spartacus53]

If I even had a penny, I'd hold onto it like dear life... So what does that make me

 

[thrillathahunt]

A wanna be miser?

I pictured you Spart as the high roller type.

haha
yup, I am a penny pincher in usual crap in life I have to buy....I am super frugal

all to spend BIG money on vacations and toys like boats, campers, atvs etc.

I let loose big money when I want something, I sure don't hold back, but I find sales on every other thing I buy to survive in the household.......so penny pincher ON A MISSION!!!!

 

[thrillathahunt]

I hear ya FC, it's hard for me to "pull the trigger" on major purchases, so I quess I compensate subconciously by being thrifty in other ways.

ever heard of brass balls? I had a guy try that trick on me once , have to admit it hurts badly -- but it was not the "fight stopper" he wanted --chicken poop lil sob --(b hole kneed me in the jewels as we were talking ( he thought I would fold up and he could whip up on "the big guy" as he liked nice and easy like * thus a easy "no pain" win for him ) big mistake **** -- I reached out and darth vader "choke snatch" him straight up into the air then slammed him into the bar and threw him on the floor kicking and stomping him into a broken bunch of goo -yep he regreted doing it very very much as he laid in the hospital recovering for about a month afterward after I about stomped him to death -- plus since I pack a gun these days and know how to use it quite well , I need not run after folks--so the getting arounds not much a issue self defense wize ( I have never met a man that can out run a bullet yet ) and if their dumb enough to get within reach where I can get my hands upon em ........... well let the fun begin, as they turn into a bowl of rice crispies --snap, crackle, pop.-- honestly , I am a peacefu man that knows how to hurt folks badly , but frankly would rather not -- to me being freinds is much more fun than being enemies

really I 'm a nice fellow , and anyone who says differant will not do it for long.

 

[gadigger81]

Sounds like Sparts in trouble!!


We have to watch everything we spend, so yeah me too...

 

[thrillathahunt]

Ya know, I have a friend named Jessie. This guy is huge! About 6-1, 6-2 380-390... Anyway, he is the nicest guy you will ever meet, but I personally witnessed some guy cross him the wrong way once and his personality changed in an instant. He became that guys worst nightmare!!!!

To say the least, I am glad he is MY friend.

To keep on topic, he is not a penny pincher.

 

[texan connection]

If I had a penny, Id pinch it...

 

[thrillathahunt]
