Old joke.......

What's the difference between a Scotsman pulling wallpaper off the wall and and Englishman pulling wallpaper off the wall?







The Englishman is redecorating, the Scotsman is moving.

I forgot about the guy I went to school with. He would do the same thing with pretty much any item he could use and then return with the store's refund policy. Almost seems fraudulent if you know you are simply going to use it and then return item.

I remember last year when Tim Hortons was giving away a free iced coffee for the day, I don't know what the price is, $1 something? Anyways, I walk by a Tim Hortons everyday on the way to work and on the day of the free iced coffee the line-up was out the door, literally. The line was about 4 times as long as it usually is, people love their free stuff and waiting in line for 20 minutes is worth saving a dollar for a lot of people, very sad.

When you keep an empty popcorn bag from the movies, and take it to the next show for a "refill". I know a lady with a six figure income that does this. Go figure.

Ingenious.

This is a true story....I know a guy who goes to garage sales and buys(after he talks them down) used and broken Craftsman or Mastercraft hand tools,then goes to Sears/Canadian Tire and returns the tool for a cash refund.

How without a receipt? If he initially bought the said item and returned it once he couldn't do it ad infinitum. They would catch on. They have computers these days. Not judging.Just doing research for my next scam.

I have done it without a receipt.Except I just exchanged screwdrivers..1 for 1,no cash.If it's their brand I don't think they ask for receipts,I was never asked for 1,nor did I have to fill any forms out.

Sounds like people are getting ideas for themselves?

I've heard of this before also.

 

[GPIDEAL]

yes but then it takes up a whole space in the door of my fridge LOL

That's not really being cheap. It's convenient and what's a few small vinegar packages? I assume you bought something else from the establishment, but if you go in and just take those, well .... maybe, ha ha.

I always take the unused soap bars, shampoo, conditioner and hand lotion from hotels that I personally book because those items are complimentary.

To me, that's more stealing than being cheap. (Don't you have to buy a large or jumbo popcorn to get a refill? Don't think they do that with small or medium sizes. Not that I wanna know how to do it myself lol.)

 

[GPIDEAL]

Ingenious.

No. She doesn't impress me to say the least.

 

[GPIDEAL]

You know your cheap when your last name ends in a vowel.

It may be true with certain individuals but you can't generalize (otherwise fark you!).

Lol. I have to remember that one for a Scotsman I know.

I used to manage a business, provincial government fully funded, and caught one of employees stealing toilet paper by the caseload. He said it was taxpayers money and he paid his taxes so it was free. People are just thieves, it's all in what they ate and why. Hmmm I better go check my fridge for vinegar packets lol

 

[Butler1000]

Jessica, seriously. I'm attempting to clean my turkey carcass right now and set the house back right after hosting the dinner yesterday.
How the hell am I supposed to concentrate now that your picture is in my mind?
Totally not fair.
Sigh. Back to plucking!

 

[Butler1000]

By the by I made possibly the BEST sausage and pear dressing in the slow cooker yesteday. Big wow from everyone. Had to hide some to prevent total leftover theft!

 

[harryass]

ur a cheapo when you bring all your family members and relatives to a business offering something free and you all scoop up all the condiments on the way out.

hmmm, imagine kinda the same as a locust swarm
