QotD: cheapskate
Who is the cheapest person you know? (Not frugal … just annoyingly cheap!)

This is not something one should make assumptions about. My late friend, Chris Wards, would get the odd second-hand gift for us at Christmas or for birthdays. Not that I was ungrateful—he put real thought into them—but it crossed my mind that some of the pressies were pre-loved. After he and his fiancée were killed in a car crash in 1999, months before their wedding, it was discovered that Chris was donating part of what was already a meagre country high school teacher’s pay cheque to half a dozen African kids through World Vision. He never mentioned it to anyone, and I was among his closest friends. But those cheap gifts meant a lot more. Materialism is meaningless.
