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 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

Too good to be true

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

I think I might do this at some point in time. Only it'll be a dollar. Just a $1 bill. Hahaha! It'd be even better if I did it with a $20, but you know... That's $20 that I lose, so no.

#12/kurohana: Actually, you can get in trouble for defacing US currency. You can get in trouble for getting caught while writing on money. It's a ridiculous law, but it's still a law. Honestly though, who the hell HASN'T written on a dollar bill?

#26: There are dollar coins here in the US, too. They're just not that widely used :) ..and I didn't know defacing US currency was illegal. I wonder why it doesn't apply to pennies.

Haha I've done that, just not outside where everyone could see. I glued a quarter right in front of the vending machine at school and then watched my friend try to pick it up for 15 minutes. Next time make sure nobody sees you. :P

I don't know why there are so many haters! I think it's funny and it's something I too am guilty of. Doe it mean I don't have a life? Maybe... But we have a better sense of humor than most
