Divorce settlements are often far from pleasant. One woman in America was so peeved off with her ex that she paid the settlement in coins mixed with rice and beans.
The penny pincher was faced with a court order to pay her ex-husband $50.12 as part of a divorce settlement and decided to pay up in pennies delivered in Tupperware filled with rice and beans.
A stinging note was also posted onto Reddit, showing just how strongly she felt.
“Andy, Here’s forty seven dollars and twelve cents in pennies,’ the missive read. ‘The other three dollars paid for the containers that I used. Receipt is included if you want to return them…
“Oh! one last thing, I added beans and rice to remind you that you married a beaner : ) I hope you have a fab life! B/C I know mines 20x better without you in it!”

The husband, known only as Andy from Nebraska, stated that ‘beaner’ – a racially charged slur used to describe people of Mexican heritage – was used by his ex-wife who had identity issues.
“She thought every single person looked at her negatively because she was Hispanic,” he told The Daily Mail.
Andy used the forum to say how they were in a happy relationship until they got married and things turned quickly, and not even a counsellor could rescue their marriage, also adding that his obsession with video games did not help matters.
