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.

Reminds me of a video I watched on break.com about some guy paying an $80 dollar ticket in pennies. They called the police but they said they had to accept it cause it IS real money, no matter what form it's in. Anyway, that sucks that you didn't.

Big brother always gets the last laugh. The only wau you can beat them is to move out of the country (then it is just another big brother) or die (but then your just passing on the problem to your benifactors).

You know, that's just a douchebag move. The people you were trying to punish by doing this had nothing to do with your parking ticket. Next time, be a complete idiot and egg the officer's car or something. At least he's the one responsible (you know, next to you, the idiot who parked in a no parking zone) for the ticket.

Did you really expect it to work?
