Don't get me started on my boss. The managing partner at my law firm is a notorious cheapskate. A day or two before Thanksgiving, a client sent about 20 assorted pies to our office (we employ over 100 people), intending them to be for the firm's employees to enjoy during lunch or coffee break. When the pies were delivered, the receptionist called the office manager to ask whether she should put them in the kitchen. The office manager called the managing partner, who ordered that all the pies be brought up to his office. He gave some to the other partners (all guys making six figures) and took the rest home for himself. I only found out about the pies because the client who had sent them called a month or so later to ask a fellow associate of mine how everybody enjoyed the Thanksgiving pies. His response? "What pies?" I guess Scrooge didn't need to pay for Thanksgiving dessert that year.

Put yourself in his shoes...if you had the chance to enjoy several delicious pumpkin pies for free, wouldn't you jump at the chance? I wonder how he'd be at the bar when there's 5 mozzarella sticks for 2 people. Hmmm......
This man has more money than Croesus and I don't even think he eats pie. I think he's kind of a health nut. The point is, the pies were a gift for the firm as a whole, meaning everybody, and not him personally. The woman who sent them was livid when she found out he took them all for the partners. ALL OF THEM! 20 PIES!!! THROW US A BONE AT LEAST!!!
