Alright, I am sick and damn tired of everything I buy comes

[cboy4]

to whatever and .01 cent.

Does anything ever come to an even amount anymore?

When I hear the total come to $5.01 at the drive-thru, half of me wants to cancel my order.

By the end of the day, I have so many damn pennies in my pocket, I have to tighten my belt one hole to keep my pants from sliding off my ass.

And nobody needs to see that. :blush:

This is a week's worth of change:


:rant:

1. Now, now...I'm sure

I can think of several people who would *love* to see your pants slide off of your ass, dahling... :D

:loveya:

[cboy4]

2. !!

:spray: :loveya:

[ThomCat]

8. Mmmm...

:7

[cboy4]

12. perv!

:blush:

[meegbear]

3. Send them to me ...

I save 'em up. There's a bank not far from me that has a machine in their lobby that will count them and give you a receipt. Bring it to the teller and get your money.

And none of the 8 or 9 cent charge for every dollar like CoinStar.

[cboy4]

11. It is the terra'ists who love pennies!! Why meegbear do you

hate Murika?

[meegbear]

13. LOL!!

[idgiehkt]

4. this is the best thread I've seen in here in a long time

:rofl:

cancel that order, that'll show 'em! :hi: :hug:

[cboy4]

9. Seriously idgiehkt! And it's really bad when I go to Taco Bell cuz

they have the amount posted in that little display screen as though it's mocking me! :hug:

$5.01

[jobycom]

5. If you've got all those pennies in your pocket, why not just give the clerk

a fiver and a penny?

[cboy4]

6. Oh.....I didn't mention my beef about those ridiculously heavy

nickels, did I? :grr:

;)

[billyskank]

7. Aha!

:rofl:

[cboy4]

10. Please don't encourage jobycom!

LOL

[Skittles]

14. I am more disturbed stuff I buy comes from China, India, Indonesia, etc

too much stuff is imported; it is depressing

[cboy4]

15. Me too, especially if it costs $9.01

;)

[Skittles]

16. lol - hey, know what I do with all those damn pennies?

I love candy, chocolate - in the supermarkets here they have those Brach Candy bins where you can load up on various Brach candies in a bag and buy by weight - well, they have a little slot for money - it's 25 cents for three pieces of candy - I routinely count out 25 pennies and stick it in that thing and get me some canddy. :D

[cboy4]

19. This is how I'd have to dress if I ever touched 25 nasty pennies:

But it's a good idea skittles!! ;)

[Skittles]

22. I got lucky one times

a Boy Scout unit came by asking for pennies for some fundraiser they were doing - LOL I raided my Chicago Bears mug, the bottom of my purse, the top of my dresser and my car for those guys :D

[swimboy]

17. No, it's gonna cost $11.01 or $16.01

and I'll tell you something else. If you try to outsmart them by carrying a penny for this purpose, they automatically recalibrate to $x.02.

And now, about the pants situation. I know I won't be getting anymore work done today. :sigh:

:pals:

[cboy4]

20. perv!!

:blush:

[Sequoia]

18. Guess how many pennies are in the jar and you could win:

A banner that says, "Get a life"

See, next they'll charge you 5.04 so you'll give 'em a nickel that they get to keep because you can't be bothered with a penny. That actually happened to me, the clerk wasn't going to give me my penny back but I stood there until she did.

[cboy4]

21. "...stood there until she did." . . .

:spray:

That's hilarious, but it's the principle, isn't it!!??

[Sequoia]

23. Righty-O

[Dukkha]

24. I'd love to have that many pennies

The main reason it's a federal offense to tamper with our currency is because the copper made in them is worth considerably more than the coin itself. Provided the penny was made before 1982 when they were 95% copper. Now they are 97.5% zinc with a thin copper coating.

[unpossibles]

25. you know those 4 pennies you get can be spent, right?

I mean... keep the pennies in your car and use them.

[cboy4]

26. I do, but then if I need a nickel or a dime, do you know how much

time I spend digging around in the change holder?!!

Doctors perform open heart surgery faster than I can dig out a few nasty pennies!!
