Dollar bills.Money is money!
Earlier this week, a Reddit user who goes by the username Derna_A_River shared a post on the platform's "Mildly Infuriating" forum, where he revealed that his roommate pays his rent each month with $1 bills.
"My roommate works as a bartender, so he gets loads of $1 bills. He usually keeps the bigger bills, and pays rent with the 1s," the user wrote.
Detailing that he has asked his roommate "various times to please change the bills before paying," Derna_A_River noted that his cohabitator "takes it as a joke."
"At first it kinda was, but now it’s just annoying," he continued, before adding that his roommate is also late in paying his full January rent, only paying $200 of the $500 total as he has an "upcoming birthday trip to Colombia."
