- maxvette, on 06/26/2009, -5/+402 russian girls get 33 sacks after getting fired.

Much easier than being an idiot troll. - inactive, on 06/27/2009, -1/+10The most annoying way to pay someone is through lots of coins
- Pinkertinkle, on 06/27/2009, -0/+9if they really did get fired for using internet on company time, I must sympathize since I'm on digg all the time at work
- willster580, on 06/27/2009, -1/+9No.
- halo3d, on 06/27/2009, -0/+7Bro
- inactive, on 06/27/2009, -0/+7Cool story.
- tgc1, on 06/28/2009, -0/+6And it would be perfectly legal too. But it would be a pain in the ass for you to count all them coins to make sure you weren't a penny short. I remember a story from a while back where a man paid his tax bill in coins. It was actually a palette load of coins. Hahahaha.
- johndatserakis, on 06/28/2009, -0/+6actually, they were coins.
- twiztidsinz, on 06/27/2009, -4/+102 girls 33 sacks
Sounds like a porn.... - inactive, on 06/28/2009, -0/+5That's just ***** weird.
- jorel009, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4omfg cant we go one day without hearing about twitter!
- gnail, on 06/27/2009, -1/+5Don't know about Russia but isn't there usually a law to prevent things like this? In here (New Zealand) you can't pay a sum more than $100 with $1 and $2 coins.
- flangepiece, on 06/27/2009, -0/+4*books optician appointment*
- Charlesbian, on 06/27/2009, -1/+5I love the publication's (russia today) poll they got going.
"How should controversial tyrants of the past be perceived?"
1. Like Hitler, true evil
2. Like Stalin, with mixed feelings
3. Like Mao Zedong: wrongdoings admitted, achievements emphasized
4. Like Franco: mostly forgotten
mmm, false choices. not saying that in america it's any less misleading, but damn, at least we use subtlety over here! - marciot, on 06/28/2009, -0/+4You have *two* sacks?
- fuzzynyanko, on 06/28/2009, -0/+3Makes me wonder if there's Coinstar in Russia
- ph3rny, on 06/28/2009, -0/+3well 20 kilos / 33 sacks --> .667 kilograms per sack
which is about 1.47 pounds
say it was copper coins (density about 9 g per cm^3) the sacks would be about 70 cm^3... which isn't really that big
maybe its 20 kilos per sack... that would be about half gallon sized sacks...
haha have fun with mixed units X_x - CocodaMonkey, on 06/28/2009, -1/+4Actually it wouldn't be legal. Or well... to be more accurate it's legal but the company you are trying to give the money to can refuse it. A company has to legally except money printed by the government but they only have to accept so many of each denomination of coin per transaction. If you try to pay a bill entirely in pennies they can refuse to accept it and still charge you late fees if the bill remains unpaid.
Banks are the only ones that can't legally refuse massive amounts of coins. Most of them will try to refuse it though if you bring in buckets of coins. If you argue they have to take it, but they'll try to make you roll them. - kevlar21, on 06/27/2009, -2/+5Money is money. It ends up being no more than a minor inconvenience once you get it to a bank. They cash it and do the counting for you.
- x060t, on 06/28/2009, -0/+3well, you decide http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F ...
- piieerrrree, on 06/27/2009, -0/+3still trying to get banned, I see? Keep on failing...
also, curvy dicks ftw - daqq, on 06/27/2009, -1/+4That's it?! That's the whole article?
I've seen Twitter posts longer than that. - tgc1, on 06/28/2009, -0/+3That is wrong. Refusal to accept legal tender for debts of any kind means the debt is released. You can pay them in anything that is deemed legal tender, including coins. Coins are legal tender, thus valid as method of payment.
If they refuse to accept it, they cannot do anything about it later. - Fozefy, on 06/27/2009, -0/+2That is what I call a heavy salary!
Fixed* - szskateman22, on 06/27/2009, -0/+2Can they define what size "sack" this is... like is this a small hand sack from the medieval times or a potato-carrying-sack (like 50lbs or whatever it is) used for "three-legged" races?
- griffrs, on 06/28/2009, -0/+2buried for not showing 33 sacks
- SeanB45, on 06/28/2009, -1/+3I have 2 sacks they can share
- whatit, on 06/28/2009, -2/+4Sorry about this guys I forgot to remove my dick from his ass.
- URnotheonly1, on 06/28/2009, -0/+2they're looking for full weighty sacks of productivity..... sorry buddy
- powerphail, on 06/29/2009, -0/+2What's DIGG?
- Baderade, on 06/28/2009, -2/+4@archimago:
I guess if you're an ass that doesn't want to contribute with a response, that looks reasonable. - stuffradio, on 06/28/2009, -0/+2No, I always think of fried girls.
- URnotheonly1, on 06/28/2009, -0/+1that's basically the US view as well. that is just ***** weird.
- fury420, on 06/28/2009, -1/+2I dunno, most banks I've been in would start off by laughing, and then attempt to sell you a bunch of those paper rolls so you can count & roll em up yourself
- dsanonline, on 06/28/2009, -1/+2"...He declared that he is going to sue Anfisa and Anzhelika and make them pay a sum of money two times bigger than the compensation he gave them..."
So he fires them. Refuses to pay them for their unused but owed vacation time. He refuses. The girls cry foul. Prosecutor gets involved. He does a quick 180. He pays the girls, albeit resentfully. He threatens them with a lawsuit.
Only in Russia. - jorel009, on 06/28/2009, -0/+1lol yes i did!
- ducksgoquak, on 08/31/2009, -0/+1http://www.snopes.com/business/money/pennies.asp
Let me paraphrase... The US Federal Reserve cannot reject your payment in pennies but any business is welcome to do so. They set the rules for what they'll accept as payment. This is my minute markets can say they don't accept your $100 bill and also why the school wouldn't accept my 20 dollars in pennies for my damn parking ticket. - Garciat, on 06/28/2009, -0/+1From xbox?
- djnforce9, on 06/28/2009, -0/+1It really depends on the situation. If they were neglecting their duties to surf the net, then firing certainly makes sense as they are not doing their job. However, if they had NOTHING to do, what else does the boss expect? On the other hand, some companies do have a strict policy against using a corporate connection for personal reasons.
Nevertheless, the boss seems like a real Jerk to do what he did and then top it with a lawsuit as well. - crossmr, on 06/28/2009, -0/+1This other story claims each bag was 20 kilos which makes more sense, its around 660 kilos of coins: http://thejakartaglobe.com/business/laid-off-russi ...
