This was probably 20-25 years ago, my parents would go camping at a campground a couple of times throughout the summer, around this time I was around 16 years old, the old campground couple who have been there for at least a decade managing it (parents and family knew them well) had retired, up till this point no one had a problem with having a tent set up on the lot with the pop up, the new managers going by the rules in the book where not having it.

They said it's in the book if an extra tent or pop up is on the lot it's $5 a day, they said it's $10 or remove the tent, or we can leave with no refund, parents paid for for two days, a couple of my close friends went with us and very well couldn't fit in the camper, from that point we started to gather change, and gathered the $10 in all pennies we even left to go get change for a $5 in pennies, came back counted all of them.

Hopped in the friends car, the other friend had all the pennies in the belly of his shirt, drove up to the gate the new managers where at their table, the guy with the change gets out and up to the table and dumps the $10 in pennies on the table, they look up and ask what's it for, buddy goes the $10 for the tent, they ask why is it in pennies, dude goes because im fucking poor.

Turns around and is trying not to laugh.

We get back the lot and we are dying.

They never said another word to us the whole weekend, and I don't think they where the managers after that, uncle said that he talked to the old managers and apparently kept bothering people with the stuff they did for years.

Cool memories lol
