patweisers44 701 Posted January 10, 2018 Spinoff Thread. Based on posts, personal meetings, etc who do you think is the cheapest Geek? For the purposes of this thread, lets exclude that piece of crap Chronic Welcher and his ilk. They are turds and that goes beyond just being "cheap". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nzoner 936 Posted January 10, 2018 From personal experience I'd say CMH54321 and if he sees this I'm sure he will agree,however,he has a friend not here at the GC that takes the focking cake as he refused to share a cab in Nashville and opted to wait for the hotel van so the ride would be free.

Gladiators 1,904 Posted January 10, 2018 Who here buys their clothes at Goodwill, eats Ramen, and goes to the library to rent movies? Who here splits the bill when they're out on a date? Who here DIDN'T give to Rholio? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patweisers44 701 Posted January 10, 2018 You have never seen me at the tables in Vegas with a stripper. I can vouch Ed. Waitresses too. Bert drank a case of beer at the tables that probably cost him a couple hundred bucks. Good thing he was winning at the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted January 10, 2018 I'm always looking for a deal, rarely pay retail - but am rather generous with wait staff and those with less and/or in need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,597 Posted January 10, 2018 My yearly expenses are not the cheapest of the geeks. I am just very vocal about saving money on electronics, clothes, furniture, cars, etc. As far as tipping, my average is well above 20%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,755 Posted January 10, 2018 I tip waitresss well. Bartenders have to earn it now. They suck for the most part. Too many women doing it. STFU, put down the phone, put the game on and get me a drink. Do that and I tip great. Rarely happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Guy 1,400 Posted January 10, 2018 I don't make bets that I can't pay, but other than that I'm probably the cheapest bastard here. Below is a small list of what I'll pay for items..... you be the judge. $20.00 = Concert $20.00 = Jeans $15.00 = Shirt $20.00 = Dinner (including tip) $15.00 = Lunch (including tip) $10.00 = Breakfast (including tip) $5.00 = Drink (including tip) $7.00 = Burrito (see other thread ) $10.00 = CD, DVD, Vinyl, Game well, you get the idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,234 Posted January 10, 2018 This thread started when I said Frank is the cheapest guy here. I don't have time to search but he has posted on multiple occasions that he basically spends no money. Forgot about ROCKFORD/zmanzzz, add him to the list. tanatastic and posty seem cheap. I'm not talking stiff the wait staff cheap, I mean don't spend money on virtually anything cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted January 10, 2018 I went to a local place to get new glasses today and they presented me a bill for $327 out of pocket after my vision coverage paid only $229.00. Being a local biz owner, I do everything I can to support other locals, but thats pretty steep. I told her Id have to think about it. Im sure I can get something similar at Walmart for $100, but I hate supporting big boxes in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I'm not a season ticket holder, just most likely the oldest hard core fan on these boards Yea - it's crazy.... What's even dumber - people actually FINANCE that shiit out. So by the time it's paid off, Jerry basically doubles it. I've been a few times, won't go back.. Least not as long as this same song and dance crap is being played out - and Red is still at the helm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
