Is paying people in pennies mean?

I'm picking up an item I'm buying from someone from my school's online forum today. I negotiated the price to $12.42 (42 because it's my lucky number) and am seriously thinking about paying him in pennies just for my entertainment. I even went to my bank yesterday and asked the teller for $12.42 in pennies (he gave me the strangest look ever and he had to get someone to open up the vault because he didn't have that much in pennies hehe). Anyways. My roomie says that it would be evil to pay someone in pennies. Is this true? I'm very tempted... my angel conscious tells me not to.. but the devilish side of me tells me to go for it. Should I still go ahead and pay the seller $12.42 in rolled pennies? If you were the seller, what would you do if you got paid in pennies?

i would be irritated at best

you need to get help, most people don't think like that. i see no value in the extra effort you are going to in order just to irritate someone

If someone showed up with anything more then .10 in pennies I would tell them to take a hike or worse.

I'd say you it would be stupid to do it to a store, but not wrong. You're a jerk if you're just buying from a person though.

You are soooooo bad.

**On a similar note, my friend bought a car from my wife (GF back then) in 1 and 2 dollar coins.

If I was the seller, I'd remove one of my socks and fill it with ammo you provided me.

if you already had the pennies, like in a big jar where you put your change, then at least you'd have some excuse

but to go to a bank and get pennies that you didn't already have, that is just anti-social

i guess we'll read about you on the news or something soon enough

You're not evil, you're an asshole. That's not funny at all. if I were that guy, I'd tell you to go fuck yourself.

yes goto the bank and get yourself cash for your coins. I would tell you to fuck off. I may even consider beating you a bit with the rolled pennies. Or alternately. Take the pennies tell you to fuck off and not give you the product.

you sound like a fucking douchebag.

I'd simply refuse to sell you the item and leave after telling you what i thought of you.

If that happened to me now, I'd call you a loser and cancel the sale. Back in college? I'd shove the rolls of pennies down your fucking throat while asking 'why aren't you laughing now funny boy??' I had temper issues back in the late 80's.

If I were that person, I would kick your sack of pennies on the road and laugh at you running around to collect the coins back.

So you're going out of your way to inconvenience someone else? Are you just naturally spiteful and irritating?
