Man Pays Traffic Fine with 137 Little $1 Origami Pigs - Polidicks

Why would they [I]have[/I] to accept it? I work for part of a bank that only accepts cheques in pound sterling. If you send us cash, foreign money, stamps, invalid cheques etc, we send it back and fine you £12.

[QUOTE=Tark;37677957]They don't have to accept them, it's like paying with pennies, they can (and probably will) tell you to exchange them into bills.[/QUOTE] They can ask for alternate payment. But ultimately cannot turn down legal tender.

The amount of "legal tender" is too much in this thread.

[QUOTE=Paramud;37681752]Whether or not he deserves it is irrelevant. It's his job. Do you think janitors enjoy cleaning up shit and puke? Of course not. They do it because they're getting paid to do it.[/QUOTE] That's like saying that if the janitor is sitting there after his shift, and some guy just guzzles down bad milk with the purpose of puking everywhere to make his job harder, than the janitor is in the wrong for wanting to make him clean it up himself.

this loser is really no better than the people who open carry a rifle just because they can

[QUOTE=JerryK;37690853]this loser is really no better than the people who open carry a rifle just because they can[/QUOTE] If you look at the video, then he's not really a dick. He just wanted to have fun, is all. He had the time do so.

I wouldnt have unfolded it. They accepted the money as soon is he put it through the window.

[QUOTE=JerryK;37690853]this loser is really no better than the people who open carry a rifle just because they can[/QUOTE] Not that there is anything wrong with that. [img]http://www.facepunch.com//fp/emoot/colbert.gif[/img]

[QUOTE=JerryK;37690853]this loser is really no better than the people who open carry a rifle just because they can[/QUOTE] I mean I knew people were stuck up here, but that bad? I'd unfold them for him just because of the effort he put into making the dull affair that much less dull.

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;37691809]I mean I knew people were stuck up here, but that bad? I'd unfold them for him just because of the effort he put into making the dull affair that much less dull.[/QUOTE] I'd laugh and compliment it and would glady unfold it when there was nothing else to do.

[QUOTE=Paramud;37677979]Too bad, it's legal currency and it's your god damn job to collect it.[/QUOTE] So the concept of making somebody's job less difficult by not being a stubborn fuck is alien to you?

[img]http://www.facepunch.com//fp/emoot/colbert.gif[/img][/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N2sqZnBeJw&feature=related[/media] So this guy deliberately carrying an AR-15 rifle around to get reactions from cops is perfectly fine?

He should have compromised with 1 $100 bill, 7 $5's and 2 $1s.

I don't understand why the cops making him unfold it was such a bad thing, or why some of you are calling him out for trying to be badass. Clearly it was just a creative prank type thing he did soley to put it on youtube and maybe get some people to laugh, including the officers that said he made their day. While he seemed kind of hostile at first they all thought it was hilarious in the end, and really, I'm sure the cops had SOMETHING better to do than meticiously unfold 137 pieces of paper. If they accidentally ripped one, it would be their fault, and I'm guessing they'd have to replace the bill themselves which defeats the purpose of a ticket in the first place. In the end they were probably much more willing to unfold them anyway because initially it just looked like the guy was giving them a slap in the face, and if anyone was in that position where you thought some douchebag went out of his way to make your life harder, your first thoughts wouldn't be "oh boy I can't wait to take this guy's shit." the end

He has the right to, he may seem like kind of an ass, but he can. The police that talk to him actually seem to know him pretty well, and enjoy seeing him.

Why do people do this? Man you're really showing that clerk who's just doing his job. While the cop who gave you the ticket will never even know of this. So badass what a rebel.
