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.

I use to think this was a funny app but getting frustrated with how dumb everyone is. There are probably 10 of u that think the bank is the ones that called the cops. And 50 of u think that pennies are legal tender when they are not. I expect this type of behavior from OP who can not read a parking sign but was just shocked how many dumb people there are out there. I feel like I lost brain cells reading some of you comments.

Editing my comments so it doesn't make you look like you weren't able to figure out an easy joke? Really, Alan?

They refused payment. Your off the hook. I did that with a cable bill. They didn't wanna accept it, so I didn't have to pay them.

Yeah, be sure to tell us what small claims court thinks of that one.

dude, I work as a cashier, and u r suppose to have the pennies rolled, in order for them to accept that much in pennies, I would make someone roll 100 pennies, let alone 3500 :/ u deserved it ya dummy

That's retarded, it's actually against the law to refuse any amount of payment and as long as the amount is correct they must accept it Jo matter what.

Well, why get revenge because of a parking ticket? You probably deserved that one as well. If you didn't deserve that one they have targeted you and you should run before they unleash the dogs.

if you're in America, that's illegal. any place collecting money is required to accept any legal tender, including, yes, pennies. sue their asses :D
