Stinginess

Mezquinidad

Stinginess

noun
a lack of generosity; a general unwillingness to part with money

Thats what someone said I was a few days ago.
Why??

In park places here in Mexico, there is this people, who do two things, sometimes wash cars for money (thats ok, a service that deserves being paid), and they in theory help giving instructions when you are going out of your park place.
But sometimes, the park place is nearly empty, no cars coming, you could easilly go out in one fast movement, but no, suddenly you realize that there is that man standing in the way of your car, to give you instructions for help, when what he is actually doing is block. And even if there is cars and movement, is not like going out of a parking spot in those parking places is difficult.

So I never give them money for an unsolicited standing that they think is a service.

And for that, I was told yesterday "Your level of Stinginess, is outrageous"

Well in spanish, being called that even helped me to learn the correct word. Since it was mispronounced.

Jessica, whom someone thinks is a stingy person.
