This thread reminded me of fundraiser suckiness.
This happened last year. I am a member of a non-profit organization that hosts a convention every year. Last year, we held a "carnival" as one of our fundraisers.
We sold hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, ice cream, and pop. Everything was reasonably priced. The bag of chips was 50 cents.
This triffling member of our organization comes up to the food counter, she has about four or five dollar bills in her hand. The following ensues:
SC: How much are chips?
ME: 50 cents.
SC: 50 cents!!!!! 50 cents!!!! (this statement was accompanied by the biggest cattbutt face I've ever seen!)
Another member walks up and asks her what the problem was.
OM: What's wrong?
SC: Chips are 50 CENTS!?!?!?
OM: Do you want me to buy you a hot dog and some chips?
SC: OH!!!! Would you REALLY!??!!?!? Aww! Thanks.
She stashes her cash in her pocket and the other member pays for her hot dog and chips. (Total was like $1.50)
This particular SC is notorious for shit like that. Almost every fundraiser I've ever seen her at, she haggles the price. THEN, at the actual convention, when we announced that registration for the following year has started and the cost was going to be $20 for a full registration (normally, ast the year goes on, a full registration ends up costing $45 closest to the convention - the earlier you buy it, the cheaper it is). She went apeshit in our hospitality room bitching to ANYONE that would listen about the $20 cost of registration.
