Why is this guy sooooo cheap?

Question

we go to his home. and we drink our beers.....not from a mason jar. but from a 32 week old plastic cup with coffee stains on it. what kind cheap person does this?

he does not allow us to sleep on the new couch. for it costed him 400 bucks to buy it. and we must worship that couch. god for freaking bid i spill some dip on it. i would be sleeping with the fishes if i did such a thing.

why be cheap? why god darnit i need to know?

Answer 1

If he can buy a new couch surely he can buy cups. I would be mad if you spilled something on my new couch but only if it didn't come out. But the cup thing, man.

Answer 2

Maybe the couch is his last good asset. Forgive and forget.. Thats what friends are for. Take it easy my man..

Answer 3

Who cares? We'll sit on the floor and if I don't like the cups I can always pretend there's something in them; rescue us both by rinsing them out and repouring the beer.  See, we didn't die.

Answer 4

Get nicer friends who treat you better.  Cheap and nasty people sleep alone.

Answer 5

$400 is fairly cheap for a couch.

He's opted to be cheap for the same reason a monkey swings from its tail... which is to say, because he can, paaadnah.

Answer 6

cheap people suck-lose 'em. it gets worse as they get older, too. it's a manifestation of greed and selfishness.

Answer 7

Oh, so you've met my ex.  I'm surprised he bought beer.  He usually liked stuff like cherry brandy and only if somebody else bought it.  

He bought DIP?  

Next time wipe your hands on the couch.

Answer 8

Why are you at his house?  Don't you have your own?

Answer 9

Just spray some Febreeze on it and move on! haha

Answer 10

$400 isn't cheap.

Answer 11

well i guess some people grow up with almost nothing and when they are older and have earned alot of money my guess is that they become cheap because they dont want to put themselves in certain situations that would be similar to their childhood

....or they could just be cheap because they just want too....

lol you would have to ask a cheap person

Answer 12

The word isn't cheap ; he's frugal.. Get up to speed jack. You're fortunate you found a host...... And he gave you a cup to drink out of.... in his house !..... Over here you'd be out in the yard all the time..... drinkin' from your own bottles.. And you may sit on the ground if you prefer not to stand..  Cheer up !..

Answer 13

Well, since he spent so much on the sofa, he can't afford mason jars now. So, the dirty cups are his way out.
