I have a cousin who is truly despicable.
I honestly wouldn’t even talk to my cousin if I didn’t have other family members that felt it was important to visit with her regularly.
She is the biggest cheapskate. She never tips anybody, not at restaurants and not for pizza delivery drivers either. She will even go out of her way to not have to pay for stuff. I remember this one time, she managed to get all of her food at the grocery store for free because she made a scene about the cashier giving her a hard time. The cashier wasn’t giving her an attitude at all, but she was making it seem that way. The manager just wanted her to be on her way with no more issues, so the manager let her have everything at no charge and actually apologized to her for the inconvenience. This one time really killed me, and I was there to see this happen. She called the HVAC company to have an HVAC technician fix her heating system before the winter months. I felt bad because she treated this HVAC technician like garbage from the moment he got into the house. Even while he was working, she yelled at him saying he was giving her a headache, but he had to be able to do his work! When it came time to pay the guy for fixing the gas furnace, he slightly bumped into her, and she hurled herself to the floor and pretended that he injured her. She was saying she was going to call the cops and sue him. He looked panicked, and I couldn’t believe he just let her have the service call for no charge! After he left, she laughed and she clearly wasn’t even injured. How low can you go!
