The tight ass stalker

There is this guy who is suuuccchhhh a tightass and has asked me out on a date twice this year but only when he had FREE tickets to somewhere or free vouchers for dinner.

I met him when I was selling my Nokia Ngage phone that I won in a competition. He answered my ad and we negotiated for half an hour and in the end I just couldn't be bothered cuz i got the phone for free and was sick of his tightass reasons - "I am going on a camping trip this weekend and need to buy a sleeping bag so I really can't afford to buy the phone at a higher price". I sold the phone to him for a cheap price and he was so happy that he said he would buy me lunch. He actually used an Oral Blitz lunch voucher to buy my lunch (that he got for FREE).

Five months later I got a call from him and basically he said, "I feel really bad for ripping you off so I want to make up for it by taking you to the theatre. I have these FREE tickets and I thought I can make it up to you by taking you to NIDA". He was very polite about it and I thought that was his real intention so I politely said I was busy and don't like the theatre and will be spending that night with my boyfriend.

A few months later I saw him again - at the Roundhouse to get FREE BBQ. I write the 'Whats On' section in the Blitz and the 'Free BBQ' was advertised in very small writing. It was just a sentence. I bet he goes through the Blitz just looking for the word 'free'. He was starting to freak me out.

Last night I got 3 missed calls from a number so I rang back thinking it was an emergency. It was HIM. He said, "You know how I said I felt bad for ripping you off? Well, I got these vouchers for a FREE dinner at Darling Harbour and was wondering whether you wanted to go have dinner on Saturday night". By then I was really fed up! And I had already told him I had a boyfriend heaps of times. How much more of a tightass can u get??

  • I don't want to insult you but maybe that's what you're worth? 3 phone calls and free vouchers? :)

  • Dear Andrew,

    Mel is worth more than 3 vouchers and a phone call.

    Regards,
