Title: A dollar for your future! (Or $0.93 US) Post by: NiX on July 30, 2007, 06:53:00 PM My friend just got an e-mail today from his college. Words can't describe the funny.
Quote Dear Mathew S. (P 53848): You owe $1. in fines to the Library for materials returned later than the due date. Failure to pay the fine by August 7, 2007 will result in you not receiving your diploma from RCC. Susan Waller, Librarian Title: Re: A dollar for your future!

It ranked right up with our machinist framing his $0.02 check he received from the university that cost them more to process than it did for the value of the check itself.

I think it was 2 years ago when all the court cases ended (the spill was in 1989), and he got a check for $0.00.

:evil: Title: Re: A dollar for your future! (Or $0.93 US) Post by: Bunk on August 01, 2007, 06:50:49 AM I am now picturing a crazy bearded, long haired guy on a Harley chasing around Nix's friend yelling "I want my one dollar!"
Seriously though, its a Library fine, they are supposed to be small and trivial. Tell him to go pay it. Title: Re: A dollar for your future! (Or $0.93 US) Post by: Ironwood on August 01, 2007, 06:52:36 AM I'm with Sky. Don't do it douchy; just pay it and move on with life ffs.
:roll: Title: Re: A dollar for your future! (Or $0.93 US) Post by: NiX on August 01, 2007, 08:13:45 AM My friend just got an e-mail today from his college. Not to mention I didn't say he wasn't going to pay it. Christ you people really do have something up your ass. Possibly Bruce. My point was that it's funny how they're threatening his $40,000 education over a $1. Obviously he's going to pay it, just funny how greedy they really can be. Title: Re: A dollar for your future!

So many people seem to think that principle slides with amount. It doesn't. And Greedy ?? Fucker worked up a fine. They want him to pay it. Where's the greed ? Also, I got that it was your friend. Had it been you in person, I would have been kinder. I'd have said pay up...you douchebag. :) Title: Re: A dollar for your future!

Yeah, I went to the store the other day to pick up some groceries. When I was going through the checkout line they actually expected me to give them money for all the shit I had picked up. Funny how greedy they really can be. Title: Re: A dollar for your future! (Or $0.93 US) Post by: Oban on August 08, 2007, 11:12:14 AM Capitalist pigs.
Title: Re: A dollar for your future! (Or $0.93 US) Post by: Furiously on August 08, 2007, 11:25:14 AM I thought about this a bit. He shouldn't pay. He should show them.
Title: Re: A dollar for your future! (Or $0.93 US) Post by: Paelos on August 08, 2007, 11:34:45 AM Request to pay back your fine in 10 minutes of shelving books at the minimum hourly wage!
