Changing one letter of a thread title

[webny99]

OK, alright. FTFY:

Yeah, CNGL-Leudimin was on that one first is not into the quote feature, apparently

[CNGL-Leudimin]

In fact kphoger's variation inspired mine's . Note he added the letter to the second instance of "tolls", while I did so to the first.

So what would Troll roads without tolls be about, anyway?  Searching rest areas along free Interstates for sexual prey?

Don't traditional fictional trolls tend to demand toll payments at bridges?  Kings Quest I taught me how to get around such tolls back in the DOS era:

Yes.  Or, alternatively, they demand an answer to such questions as What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I was imagining that the latter thread might be about someone's plans to become a troll on toll-free highways.  Which, you know, would be rather disturbing.

[Max Rockatansky]

So essentially a certain plot element of Dumb and Dumber?  I remember my Dad being super paranoid during the 1990s about stumbling across such activities at Interstate restrooms.

How much have you paid in tools?

How much have you paid in rolls?

$2.50, I believe? It was a nickel roll and a penny roll, two different occurrences, both given to businesses that needed the coins because they were running low.

I was considering whether I should pay for my girl scout cookies with a couple rolls of quarters that I won't need anymore once I move into my new apartment with in-unit laundry.  Might be worth it just to claim the score on this, even though I already grabbed an extra $20 from the bank.

That said, my first thought on that thread title was actually dinner rolls...

I had a shortage assessed against me at work that I had to pay back, and I disagreed with it (my paperwork balanced when I had it and then accounting said I was $100 short, and then the accountant that signed off on it got fired for embezzlement a few weeks later), so I paid part of it with something like four rolls of quarters and a roll each of dimes, nickels and pennies. The vault didn't particularly care, because they just put it all in the cashout kiosks. But the week after that one of my friends was inspired to do the same thing and pay with $25 worth of pennies, and then we weren't allowed to make shortage payments in coins after that.

Anyway, that means I've paid $47.50 in rolls.

This reminds me of one time when, long story short, I had to return a pallet of 2x4's to Lowe's. A few employees helped us unload them behind the store, we counted them, then went up front to get the credit put back on our card. The guy behind the counter told me they were just double checking the count. No sooner had someone from the back brought up the paper which I knew had the correct count on it, I noticed in my peripheral vision the guy at the counter doing something with it. Sure enough, when I saw the paper again, I could see that he had noticeably written over top the count with a lower number, leaving the first digit but adjusting the others (I think it was something like 290 down to 268).

He then told me, straight faced, "Sorry, we have to go with the count they give us from the back". Needless to say, I was first stunned, then furious that he'd just lied to my face. But at that point, I wasn't in a position to challenge him or argue about it, so I just accepted the lower credit and got out of there, more relieved to be done with the ordeal than anything. I have very little hope that he got caught or fired for it, but it still gives me pause every time I go into that particular Lowe's.

How much have you paid in bread rolls?

I know I've paid for something at a store with a roll of coins, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was now.

Accepting a roll of coins from an unknown customer is like playing with fire–a roll of quarters might have $10 in it, or it might have every other coin be a penny.

Even a known customer probably isn't without risks.  I once got a roll of quarters from the bank for laundry that included a Canadian quarter, and I think I've even got a couple over the years where the quantity was slightly off.

Heh, yeah, our vault got a roll of nickels from the bank once that only had $1.25, and the rest of the roll was twisted up paper from the coin-wrapping machine.

I remember up to about 20 years ago, you had to write your bank account on the rolls to exchange them.

Seems a little ridiculous now, but ten years before that, it was common to put your SSN on school work.

So when they handed the roll out to the next customer that wanted one, it had someone else's bank account number on it...?

As I recall, the teller split the roll open into the drawer before I walked away.
