Oh man, Spirit Airlines.
I apologize if I've told this story before...
One of my former co-workers was a real cheapskate. When we had CE seminars, he'd always take extra food and bring it home. He'd ask the people who were married to doctors, lawyers, cablemen, trash collectors, you name it--for special favors and "professional help." He kept on hitting me up for Disney World discounts because I grew up in Florida. (It was like he thought each Floridian was born with an orange tree and a lifetime pass to Disney World!) He thought all unmarried women were being funded by our parents because HOW ELSE would we be able to pay the bills without a husband?
Anyway...he was all about a bargain without reading the fine print. Spirit Airlines had one of their super-duper sales, and he went BUCK WILD. He called his wife, sister, cousins--everyone--so they could go to Florida for $18 round trip. He was superloud on the phone too so we could hear everything.
I don't remember what happened, if they went or if the actual cost of the ticket dissuaded him. He's been gone for a year and I can't say that I don't miss the madness.
