Toilets don't need to be flushed more than once a day. Most washing can be done at work or school.
Oh my God - it's you!!!!

My neighbour, she often comes here asking for things she ran out of, potatoes, carrots, onions, bread, milk and similar but when I need something she always says I am sorry I haven't got any.
One day when I said I want a spoon of sugar in my coffee (at her house) she was shocked and she said to me: "you don't take sugar in your coffe do you?" I replied: up to now I didn't but from now on I will.
For her even a spoon of sugar is too much to give. Now when she asks for things I say: I don't have any. -

HA! That's why I have the cute boys to buy me drinks, then is FREE!
That is sooo bad! For real?
I remember telling a girl from work how I was in touch with a girl from Russia, and she said to me, "oooh noooo! Don't get hitched with a girl from Russia - they just want to get into the country and take your money!" Then the conversation changed track and she was telling me about her 17 year old daughter and she said, "she doesn't need money to go out - she just blags men into buying drinks for her and even asked one for the money instead!"
I just looked at her and said, "but you just warned me about Russian women."

I think looking at men as a sex to be stung for money objectifies men in the same way as prostitution does women.

My mother grew up during the Depression, and while she's generous with money, always helping out family whenever she can, it shows in other ways:
When I was a kid, our Christmas presents were wrapped in ancient Christmas paper that'd probably first seen the light of day during the childhoods of my older siblings (age difference of between 14 and 20 years). We were never allowed to rip the paper off, just carefully remove the sticky tape, and Mum would save the paper for next year. My wife was from the other end of the spectrum - her family expected you to rip the paper off in a frenzy. I was shocked at first, until I realised Christmas paper was about a dollar a roll - for some reason I'd always thought it was hideously expensive!
Even now, if the family is together for a Christmas function where presents are unwrapped, Mum will save the paper for wrapping things for the "Lucky Dips" that she runs at various fairs and fetes she attends.
Mum volunteers at an Opportunity Shop (kind of a charity run thrift shop) and is always grabbing "bargains" she sees coming through the door. It kinda sucks being the "poor relatives" - we're expected to accept (and wear!) the height of 70s and 80s fashion. The ultimate was when she gave my wife a nightie that had come from the Palliative Care Ward of the hospital. She assured her that she didn't think that anyone had died in that nightie!
When we go out as a family, Mum always has her washed takeaway containers, ready to collect any leftovers and send them home with us.
Mum's not really cheap, she just developed certain behaviour patterns growing up in a time of scarcity and spending her life with a man who really was pretty damned cheap (my Dad). When he died, she became a lot more generous with money, but her old "waste not, want not" habits stayed with her.

When I go out with my staff I dread it when one lady comes with us - rather than just split the bill (check) between us she lists what everyone had and asks them to pay their exact share - miserable cow.
