[quote=Anonymous]My aunt is like this and is a full blown narcissist. Her husband is an enabled and while he doesn't have the constant self aggrandizing and control issues he is fully on board with the cheapness and scamming or scoring a good deal. They have gotten worse and worse over the years to the point of really bad behavior.

- When they come for dinner not only do they pack up all the left overs she helps herself to other things in the fridge or cupboards. The first time it seemed odd but its apparently a pattern that she does at anyone's house.

-You can't go out to dinner with them because they will either want to split something with you and eat all of it and then not pay for their portion. They will invite you out to go dutch but they have a coupon to get a free entree with the purchase of another entree. Your entree will be full priced and they will share the free one and help themselves to your plate. She will literally reach over with her fork and take food off your plate with a giggle and say Yum, Yum. Its creepy.

-They go to garage sales at the end and badger the person to sell whatever is left for pennies or give to them free. They often will offer to haul stuff away for a small fee too if she feels out that the people just want to get rid of stuff. She hoards this stuff all over her house and then tries to force people to accept them as gifts with strings. If you make the mistake of politely accepting one of these junk gifts, she will call constantly asking about and tell you how much its worth. She gave my niece a cooler for college that she got for free and kept pressuring my sister in law to contribute some money because it was worth $200.

-They absolutely avail themselves of any free service whether they are eligible or not.

-They have a digital movie library that they fill by checking out DVDs from the library and making copies.

-They have a tiny, cheapest option trash can and then drive around sneaking their trash into other people's cans. They would cancel the service but its required in their county.

-They use other relatives (who resemble them) Costco cards and then take advantage of the return policy.

-They will never donate anything because its not fair to them for someone to score a deal at their expensive. If they really do not want something anymore they will badger relatives to buy it at a ridiculous price.

It goes on and on but the cheapness and excitement over scoring a deal or scamming someone is really disgusting.

So OP I would start distancing because this behavior can get much worse. [/quote]
