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

Ok so here is an update, they canceled my $147 fine because I was using 100% legal us tender. However in order to pay off the $35 in pennies they had to either be rolled by the bank or I had to count them 1 by 1, so I rolled 'em.

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.

The people should have accepted the pennies, instead of calling the police, and made op count out every single one to them. Lol. Don't be a punk. Don't park in the wrong spot. Not that hard.

That was pretty f'ing stupid. If you think you didn't deserve the ticket, you should've just contested it, not try to 'get revenge'. You totally deserved the arrest & citation.
