In an ideal world, people would be generous when given the opportunity. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give away everything you own to strangers, but if a friend asks you for a favor that’s easy for you to do, why not say yes?

Some people are not very generous. In fact, they’re ridiculously cheap. Some people are as tight as Uncle Scrooge.

Twitter user @ShappiKhorsandi shared an experience where a well-to-do friend was extremely tight with her money. She wanted to know if anyone else had a similar or even worse experience.

Whats the tightest thing anyone has ever done to you? When I was an A level student (skint) a (rich, got a huge allowance) friend only half finished her jacket potato in a cafe. I asked if I could finish it (no pride). She said ‘sure, you’ll have to give me 50p though’ Beat that?

   The tightest thing I’ve seen is someone claiming hardship money from a charity, despite them living in a £3m mansion in Rickmansworth. And then bragging about it on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/YDAwUikYQf

   I asked my aunty to braid my hair when we were on holiday. I was 8. It took her about an hour. Then she told my mum I owed her £10 out of my holiday spending money.

4.  Chai

   We went to collect a takeaway from Persian restaurant (we were regulars, & friendly with all staff & owner). While we waited, they insisted on serving us chai despite us repeatedly declining. We drank it out of politeness. They added to our bill. #taarof

5.  Replacement Bulb

   I once shared a house with a girl who got a lather lamp. She decided to put it in the living room. One evening while we were all just sitting around she casually asked us to all chip in for a replacement bulb, as in her opinion we were all enjoying it. Bulb hadn’t even gone!

6.  A Voucher

   Looking for somewhere to eat with a friend, they suggested Pizza Express because they had a voucher for 50% off. End of the meal, I put in half the money and they said, “What are you doing? Mine’s free – it’s my voucher!” I had to pay for the whole thing.

12.  Birthday Party

    Jerk at a birthday party noticed our group overpaid for the meal. After sulkily downing glasses of liquor and contributed nothing to the conversation that night, he pawed all the remaining money into his pocket rather than leave it as a tip. Hopefully I’ll never see him again.
