Yes, I am a tightwad, eventhough I've backslid in the last few years - the last time we moved I threw away my 3-year collection of aluminum pot pie tins.
I'd listen to a commercial for 60 seconds, as long as it doesn't count against my anytime minutes. I'd want the commercials to be entertaining though. Picky me.
Of course, I have the internet & before that a REALLY BIG stack of phonebooks & haven't used 411 since I lived at my parents house on Kauai, over 10 years ago. Maybe more, because I remember finding out in high school that it cost my parents money every time I used it & from that point just... didn't... use it.
But i've come to terms with the fact that i'm frikkin WEIRD, so its okay.
