So one day, his mom gets me 2 crunchy tacos and a bean burrito (not because she was stingy, but that's what I asked for) which back then came out to about $2 total. That same night, my grandpa died, and we booked a next-morning flight out of the country for the funeral. This @#$@% (my friend's mom) calls my mom up and says "Before you leave, can you pay me back the $2 for your son's food?" -About 2 years ago, my car battery died at the mall, and the parking lot was empty so I couldn't get anyone to jump start my car. So I called up my friend since he's basically my neighbor and because we only live about 15 minutes away from the mall. His response? "Can you call AAA first? I don't want to use up so much gas" Called up my friend who lived 35 minutes away and he came by and helped me out with no hesitation -Last month, the SAME thing happened. My car key somehow fell off my keychain, so I was stuck at the BART station which is about 30 mins away from home. I called up this same friend (I had forgotten what he had done before) and asked him if he could pick up my spare key and bring it to me. His response: "That's a really far drive. Can't you call AAA? If that doesn't work out I'll leave in 30 minutes" I didn't even respond. It was 40 degrees and I was outside wearing basketball shorts and a t shirt (since it was warmer during the day), freezing my @#$ off. I was definitely not gonna wait 2 hours for AAA to show up. I just hung up and called a cab to get my key and come back. Total cost: $200 Haven't talked to him since. There are way too many stories of his family's stinginess and selfishness but these 3 pissed me off the most smfh @ "can you call AAA" who the hell even says that??? smh!!!but yomore stories from dat family? Shoefreakbaby, that @#$@% left that message on our voicemail. My mom just ignored it My friend's mom:-We were in the movie theater, and my friend got hungry. She immediately brings out apples and starts cutting them with a knife, and then she brings out a tupperware full of food -Speaking of tupperware, we were all invited to another one of our family friends' marriage anniversaries at a restaurant. My friends mom busts out the tupperware and starts scooping up all the leftover food in the buffet line People are just looking at her like -Camping trip: Sprays her kids all over with insect repellant. My friend (a different one, not her son) and I ask if she can spray us too, and she literally uses the spray like a cologne bottle. Sprays each of us once on the chest and once on the back -Even her own family isn't exempt from her stinginess. She planned a surprise party for her cousin's 30th birthday, and the "cake" was 3 muffins put together side by side, with one candle on each I could write page after page of this @#$%. I'm gonna stop because just thinking about it gets me mad I know you might be asking "Why does your family even interact with them?" Her husband is a really good guy (the exact opposite of her) and one of my dad's best friends from college

Genius! my aunt did this once at a restaurant. no shame.
