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.

YOU were the one who violated the law and got a parking ticket... How pathetic are you to want to waste some poor clerk (and other customers') time by getting "revenge"?

The best way to get revenge from a parking ticket is to park so amazingly they can never catch you again

I'm assuming you did something else because they cannot arrest you for paying in pennies. did you make a stink? refuse to leave? I think you're leaving out some important details. ydi
