I steal food / household supplies (cleaning supplies, toilet paper, tissues, etc) from my parents.

my dad is a compulsive grocery + gadget shopper, so my mom encourages both me and my sister to do it :p

I broke up with my last GF because I didnt want to buy her dinner and take her to some lousy movie when she treated my so poorly. I also told her at one point that I couldnt justify buying that 95$ corsair PTC2, 3200 512 and take her out for a night on the town in the same week... so she was just gunna have to stay home.... :beer:

never regreted that one

I spent over $100 at this fondue restaurant and took the tiny 1" high Tabasco bottle :eek: But only because it was cool looking!

I only rent at one video store b/c I know a couple guys working there. Most times, they will give me a $0.99 coupon to rent a few items. I generally rent new releases that give you a $1 back if you return within 24 hours. So, I basically rent for free most of the time.

I take a sack lunch to work each day and bring my own water in a thermos.

While in London, I visited most museums at 4:00pm b/c most are free for the last hour or two.

I take office supplies from work. Printer paper and pens, mostly.

I have a color copy of my parents Sam's card so I can get discounted gas.

I got a job as a bus boy so I could eat what people leave behind. It's awesome knowing that you're getting paid to eat food that someone else paid for!
 

You silly, you do not reuse toilet paper, when ready you snip just one sheet of TP, then poke a hole in the middle (save the Little piece), now stick you finger through the hole and wipe away, now crush the remaining TP around your finger and draw it off, use that little piece you saved to clean your finger nail(s).

I beat up an old guy and took his money.








What? That doesn't count? Screw you all for judging me.

I relieve my hotel rooms of everything that is "legal" to take - except the shower cap.

I did not get that from a movie, my grandmother told me that back in the early seventies.

If she's not alive anymore, I'm guessing it was from a fecal coliform infection.
