Oh yes
I've been accused of being *cheap*. I explain there is a difference between cheap and frugal, and if they still don't get it, then I shrug it off.
I actually ended a friendship over this. I got so sick of being called cheap all the time but I was also resentful that this person had a LOT of money (married well) and didn't feel the need to watch the budget (interestingly, before the marriage, this person was fairly frugal too).
