Today, I thought it would be a good idea to Super Glue a couple of quarters to the sidewalk downtown and watch people try to pick them up. Unfortunately, street patrol was watching me glue everything the whole time. I was fined with public vandalism and defacing US currency. FML

Today, I was walking through town when I saw a plastic bag on the ground. Trying to be a good citizen, I picked it up, intending on throwing it in the trash. When I looked up, there wasn't a trash can for another hundred feet. So I put it back down. Now I've got a $200 fine to pay for littering. FML

Today, in a desperate attempt to get my business "out there", I dropped a few of my cards on a station floor. I got a call, even a quote. A $500 fine from the transit for public littering. FML

Today, I was at a mini arcade and accidentally put a hundred dollar bill through the quarter machine. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML

Today, I was walking when I saw a quarter. I bent down to pick it up. Barely a foot ahead there was another, so I crawled over to get it. This continued for about six feet when I realized a kid was laying them out in a trail. I'd collected 7 fake quarters and the kid had it on video. FML

Today, I was walking on the street when a woman in front of me dropped a couple of dollars. I picked them up and chased her to return it all. She insisted that it wasn't hers. I tried to tell her it was, but she wouldn't accept it. A cop saw me and arrested me for solicitation. FML

Today, I was walking through a rich part of the city and saw 2 dollars on the ground. I didn't pick it so people wouldn't think I was poor. FML

Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML

Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML

Today, I found a $20 bill on the ground, so I decided to pick it up. It was actually attached to a string and was meant to be a prank by some kids. They failed miserably, so I took the money. They ran up to me and punched me in the balls for taking their cash. FML

#28: You're kinda a douche aren't you? You know women can do other things with there day? I know it's a shock to your fragile life, but it's true. and #12: I realize other people have pointed it out, but there is a law about defacing currency. Perhaps before telling people they are liars you should do your research also, to everyone who thinks so, why does this sound like a good plan? You get your kicks from being mean to others?

This reminds me of Empire Records. "Who the hell glued all these quarters to the floor?" "I don't feel like I have to explain my art to you, Warren." Good movie. I suggest you watch it if you want to continue gluing quarters to the ground.

Hahah splendid idea to test for idiots! Hrmh I can see if you were making duplicates of money to use but you were jus gluing it onto cement. Which isn't worth all that trouble, the most he could have done was told you to take your change and don't do it again- but lesson learned, better luck next time buddy & duh be aware of your surrounding hahah.

What an ass of a cop. Superglue comes off with water, you were hardly defacing currency. Vandalism, maybe, but still a flaky charge at best.

Dearest #39 and #40: I'm a woman, thank you very much and I'm NOT a douche. And I fail to find a reason for anyone at all to tell someone to "get a life". What makes anyone superior enough to judge whether anyone's life is interesting or not? And my "ironic" example was an emphasis to the most lifeless things any female could do, in which I see alot of lately. Because I'm pretty sure not anyone of you would like it if anyone would point a finger on your lives, so don't act like saints and give me crap just because for a split second you might've thought I was a guy. Doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical to you? Thought so. :)
