   I have lived in Naples for the past twenty years. As many of you know,   
   there are a lot of Jewish people in the city. Many of them are good   
   friends of mine, but at the same time I have seen SOOOO many examples   
   of Jews being mega cheap. In very embarrassing ways.   
      
   I have seen:   
      
   Jews do whatever they could to not put in the amount they owed on a   
   group bar tab.   
      
   Jews not tip at a bar or restaurant (many many times).   
      
   Jews go out of their way to haggle over $1 with shop keepers.   
      
   In college I had often seen Jews fill their book bags with food from   
   the college cafeteria all you can eat section. One got called out by   
   an administrator and continued to do the same thing the next day.   
   (Fill book bag with apples, etc.)   
      
   Jewish friends shared a cab with me but only put in $4 toward the $25   
   ride. They threw the money at me and then ran out.   
      
   I was at a birthday lunch a few weeks back. Everyone owed $10 toward   
   the food and then money toward their own drinks. We also wanted to pay   
   for the birthday girl. A Jewish guy in the group was there with his   
   girlfriend. She only had the food and a cup of tea ($10 + $2 for tea +   
   $3 tip = $15). She left $20 (She had to go early so she gave her   
   Jewish boyfriend $20, $5 toward the birthday girl). When he paid, he   
   only paid $15 for her and pocketed the $5 extra! This guy makes $80k   
   per year.   
      
   Jewish person at a bar with some friends and I took 20 minutes to   
   decide between his favorite wine for $8 per glass or another wine for   
   $7. He went through the process of asking the bartender why one cost   
   $1 more than the other. After arguing with the bartender for 20   
   minutes he finally ordered the cheaper one he didn't like. Just to   
   save $1!!! He didn't tip.   
      
   A Jew asked how much it would be to add an egg to his dinner. It cost   
   $1 more. He argued with the waiter about how eggs only cost like 10   
   cents. He eventually got frustrated and didn't order anything. Over   
   $1!!   
      
   It goes on and on.   
      
   Cheap clothes. etc.   
      
   One Jewish friend has no TV, no cable, no internet (steals from   
   neighbor) a 8+ year old laptop, lives in a dump, grills on a 20 year   
   old grill he found in his backyard when he moved in, never brings   
   gifts to parties, always eats as much as he can when people go in   
   together on something. It is crazy.   
      
   I don't mind much if a Jew is being cheap in a way that only hurts   
   him/herself, such as living in a dump in Galesburg Il. But when they   
   try to Jew people down, it is embarrassing. Especially when they make   
   fine money. It is like a game with many of them: Who can Jew the most   
   money out of others. Who can be the cheapest prick in the world?   
      
   The question is: Why are Jews so damn cheap?
