Would you consider this being a sore loser?

[shooter27 116]

So, to make a long story short, a buddy and I had a friendly bet - nothing serious, something all in good fun - and I lost. Now I think it would be funny if I paid the money I owe him ($100) in either quarter, or singles, or something ridiculous like that. Now, I'm not doing this out of anger or anything, I just think it would be a decent prank, but I don't want to come off as a sore loser either. So, what do you guys think? Funny or sore loser?

[goaliemanshark 6]

I think it depends on your personality, and your buddy's. If i did that with my buds it would be hilarious! While it's kind of a dick move and I don't think i would go through the effort to do it, it would be epic. I can see how it could end badly though. I have other friends that im sure wouldn't take to kindly to the idea.

Neat question, looking forward to other responses.

All about personality. Personally, I'd do it all in singles.

[skyscrape 5]

Singles! Unless he is more of an acquaintance. In that case, pennies! :lol:

[sickwilly 37]

If you live in a state where they have a deposit on beer/soda cans, pay whatever you can with empty cans/bottles.

[dsjunior1388 81]

Singles are too useful, go to the bank and get rolls of those dollar coins no one ever uses, they would probably have a bunch of the Sacajawea ones and that run they did a while ago of Washington, Madison, etc.

All in Millard Fillmore dollar coins.

[starsfan71 9]

definitely not pennies, at Southlake Carrol's football stadium about 4 years ago everyone from my school paid the 5 dollar parking fee in pennies just to be dicks because no High school had a parking lot fee other than those already super rich bastards. It was a pain the ass for both sides.

Having said that doing it in quarters would be hilarious.

And not rolled pennies, either, just a big ass jar of 'em.

WIN.

That made me think of "ass pennies" from the old Upright Citizens Brigade show. That's how I'd pay.

[Rustpot 1]

When I was living with a friend who was my landlord in college I paid rent several times with an obscene number of checks. Some written for $20, some for $0.15, and so on, all adding up to the rent total. He never said anything, so I assumed he either thought it was funny or just shook his head and had some 'splainin to do to the teller.

I had 500 checks with my college address on them, and I think I still have 300 of them that need shredding.

Knock on his door, when he opens up, toss a large sock full of pennies at him.

[goaliemanshark 6]

Sounds like you have your answer!

Wow, I remember that skit- good stuff. I miss UCB and The State.

That said, why not pay in some obscure foreign currency with massive inflation. Hand him a briefcase of Pesos or something.

[shooter27 116]

Fair enough - Off to the bank to get pennies tomorrow.

[TBLfan 25]

Don't be an asshole, do it in nickles.

...Or go to a currency exchange and pay him in Yen, Rand or whatever obscure currency you decide.

...Or go to the post office and pay him in postage stamps.

[Krev 86]

Postage Stamps. DO IT.

If he does that then there is a chance he underpays due to exchange rate fluctuations.

[starsfan71 9]

Postage Stamps. Enough said.

[shotty 7]

chippa, he can just pay with a currency that's locked to the USD, like EC

[chippa13 1844]

True, but then the OP spends more than the bet because of the fee to exchange.

[shotty 7]

also true.

i bought a computer off a friend years ago with a pickle jar full of $1 and $2 coins. "trust me, its all there"

[chippa13 1844]

I hate those coin dollars you folks have up there. It always screws me up for a second when I get change for something.

[tareatingrat 4]

And when I'm down there, and I pay for something with a $5, I usually just put away my wallet thinking I'll just throw the change in my pocket.. Then I get a handful of bills back...drives me nuts.
