Today, I needed to pay off a $35 parking ticket. To try and get some sort of revenge, I went to the bank and got 3,500 pennies, dumped them into a bucket, and refused to pay with anything besides the pennies. They called the police. I was arrested and cited $147. FML

What on earth for? What did they cite you with? There's no violation of any law civil or criminal there...

A bucket full of pennies is a perfectly legitimate way to pay. They are legal tender. An idiotic way to pay would be like with sticks of gum.

Dude no offence but you seriously deserve it, next time try quarters or dimes cause then you can actually get away with it, with out getting arrested.

In all honesty I'd have done pretty much the same thing. Except getting the parking ticket. However, some rules are just too stupid to respect.

this is a BS fml. Pennies are legal tender for all debts public and private. And that is federal law, just look up on YouTube "8800 pennies"... now that is how it is done!

They can't do that, they can't refuse your money!
