Grew up with a friend whose family was so cheap, they'd take any presents/gifts &try to return it to the store for money.They'd also show off these fashionable clothes& preach about being well-dressed, when in fact they got all their clothes from Salvation Army. Now grown, they talk about how much money friends make (not polite). Another friend who's so greedy, when she visited my home, she asked me to pay her back for the highway toll! Nonetheless, I am no longer close friends with these pathetic morons.
