bennett Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 A penny saved. The ex employer is a bawbag tho.... 90,000 greasy pennies dumped on Georgia man's drive as final payment after quitting his job Andreas Flaten now spends his evening gradually cleaning the unusable coins - but is trying to see the bright side A Georgia man has accused his former employer of a "childish" move - after he received his final payment of $915 (£666) in pennies. Andreas Flaten discovered the haul of 90,000 coins - which were covered in an oily, greasy substance - at the bottom of his driveway. On top of the pile was his final payslip... along with an explicit parting message from the car workshop where he worked Miles Walker, who owns the workshop, told WGCL-TV that he didn't know if he had dropped the pennies outside Mr Flaten's house or not. He said: "I don't really remember. It doesn't matter. He got paid, that's all that matters The businessman then called Mr Flaten a "weenie". Olivia Oxley, Mr Flaten's girlfriend, said she hopes the incident will highlight how people "are treated so poorly by their employers". But she is looking on the bright side, saying: "With that many pennies, we're bound to find a few treasures. I've already found one from 1937. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be possible but so many times it goes horribly, horribly wrong. I detest coronation chicken. I can accept your argument that it may be magnificent if made well, but I'd suggest the few occasions I've had it would be closer to your "horribly, horribly wrong" idea. The basic principle of a chicken curry sandwich is fucking tremendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDuffman Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Why is he cleaning unusable coins? Surely they are usable coins which he is cleaning. They're only unusable because they're covered in oil. Once they clean the oil off them they will be usable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough shagging for one of my dreams, surely? Here's a random link. I think the owner of the Phoenix business was done for issues related to business registration, but the serial killer lair aspects were OK, like when Washington (I think) discovered it wasn't actually illegal to f**k horses (there's the shagging). https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/fbi-finds-horrific-frankensteinlike-experiments-at-body-donation-facility-in-arizona/ Read a few articles about it in the aftermath, and it seemed like the FBI were a bit perplexed that there weren't many rules being broken, and the Phoenix slaughterhouse was just one of the most egregious examples. Relatives of the people who might have ended up there have been looking for compensation, but I'm not sure how that'll go for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
