I used to work with a lad who was tighter than a submarine door. I remember when I left this particular company, about 10 of us went out for a meal and drinks. He just ordered a starter and asked for it to come out when the rest of us were having our main. He devoured it in 2 minutes flat and then proceeded to start hoovering leftovers from the rest of our plates. And it wasn’t because he was struggling for money either, he just didn’t want to pay for a main meal.
He also refused to ever contribute to anyones birthday collection (which I can’t fault him for tbh, they’re the bane of my bleeping life) but was quite happy to have one when his own birthday rolled around. 
I had no idea this guy was still living rent free in my head until just now but all this talk of bill splitting has clearly picked the scab off an old wound.
