A
cheapskate of formidable caliber. This is the type of person who, upon opening his/her
wallet, is swarmed by the colony of
moths that has chosen to breed there... When asked to make a charitable
donation to a respected cause he/she responds by demanding that a
certified copy of the organization's financial disclosure statement be sent to his/her
accountant for review... Upon being invited to a loved one's
wedding, checks the bride's gift registry and opts to make a partial contibution for the least expensive item on the list...
The strange thing about most tightwads is that they percieve themselves as merely being
frugal, whereas the majority of their peers see them for the most part as simply being
jerks.
