Things went horribly wrong for a Michigan man who tried to pay for a parking ticket in pennies.
Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse than that.
It all started when Anthony Sevy got a $10 parking ticket in Royal Oak, Mich., near Detroit, reports WJBK. He went to pay the ticket with his credit card and was told there would be an added $1.75 service fee.
Sevy wasn't happy with that, his attorney told WJBK, so he left and later came back with rolls of pennies.

Yes they should have, plus, they were rolled. It's not like they were all loose. The only thing I can think of is that many, many, MANY people must do that so much that they're completely sick of it. Doesn't mean they should have assaulted the guy, though.
