[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is probably how he become wealthy, OP, by always being very careful with his money, regardless of the actual sum involved. Must be built into his character. Can you forgive him this little foible? Everyone has their quirks. In the larger scheme of things, it's really not important. He certainly didn't mean to be rude. [/quote] This. It sounds like he has a strong sense of fairness, and would probably reimburse you $6 if you went to the store for him too. A lot of older people are like this. My mom tips EXACTLY 20% at restaurants. To the penny. I'm sure many servers have wondered why their tip is $17.97 instead of just $18. She would also try to reimburse me for small things I might pick up for her, although she wouldn't expect reimbursement from me. She grew up poor and is very careful with the wealth she has now. As long as your FIL isn't otherwise stingy, I would just chalk it up to a generational/SES thing and let it go.[/quote]
