Woot! That's the second time this year I've gotten two to drop out of that damn machine! I've been ripped off about 10 times so I'll take whatever I can get. I hate those machines. Candy gets stuck in them way too often. It's a conspiracy!

My best story about those damnable machines...

Put in my 75 cents to buy a bag of chips... the whole top two levels of the machine dropped ALL their chips down ~ 30 bags or so. Made it so it was slightly difficult to open.
So... i went and got a bag, and forced the drawer open (busted a few chips in the process) and made off with all the chips in the machine. Serves it right for stealing my quarters.

My ultimate dream day was when I put in $1.50 for those 591ml bottles of pop..

and ...

one came out..
then another..
and another.

and another..

and then another!

I was like woo I struck gold! I was sad though it didn't give me a 6 pack out of the deal.

The next day I did the same thing and got 3, then the day after that I guess they fixed the machine, it was very sad.

I'd always be the lucky one that would walk by, press a button and pop free snacks.

The worst is when you get a canadian coin as change. Now that's getting ripped off. It'd be nice if they colored their coins blue or something so they didn't filter into our currency. Or their coins could be various shapes like squares and triangles....or different sized marbles...:idea:

I thought Canadians used fur and fish as their currency? How do they stuff that into a vending machine?

While exiting class yesterday. The machine out side of our english building was wide open. I walked over... took candy bar. Then an aquaintence comes up and goes, "WOOT, is that door open?" I say, "yeah..."

He proceeds to fill his pockets, so I figure, why not, and do the same. ^_^

Had a wannabe hockey player in my dorm. He'd back up across the room and slapshot the glass until it shattered, then empty the damn things out.

But then one night, in the middle of winter when it was about 15 degrees outside, he hit a window in the elevator area on the 8th floor. Wind was blowing like crazy and we like to have all froze to death.

I got you all beat. My Freshman year of highschool I went to the bathroom during class, stopped to get a snickers and the readout already said 55 cents, so I pressed the snickers button, it dropped down...the readout still said 55 so I pressed it again, another dropped out. Rinse and repeated this about 10 times, then got smart and ran to my locker, got my duffle bag and filled that mofo up to the brim with lewtz!

I was happy, then I noticed the coke machine had the same read out, and was like, you gotta be kidding me. Yip, same thing. I ran and got my best friends duffle bag and filled it up. I ate all that stuff, and to this day I have never had a cavity!

Companies should let their break room vending machines do this periodically because getting free shit really makes an employee's day. Not give out the whole top row, but just let the little screw thingy turn twice or 3x every so often. Improved productivity!!

Yeah, I know. I had this picture in my mind of kyoukan being some really hot chick that's angstful of the whole world. And now I find out she smokes, I'm going to go shoot myself now. :(

This is slowly being hijacked into smoker thread. If you're going to talk cigs, be sure it has something to do with a vending machine!

Cigarettes that come from vending machines tend to be stale!

I quit two years ago. I still want one though.

Smoking is a nasty filthy disgusting habit that smells and interferes with the health and well being of those around you. It was glorious.

Smoking and chewing's outdated. Snuff's the cool thing to do for the addicted. While I was in europe, I saw old timers in the Hauf Brau House wearing their lederhosen taking snuff hits between chugs from their liter mugs of beer . Perhaps it will become more popular and snuff canisters will be sold in vending machines. :shock:

snorting snuff makes you sneeze :)
and yeah being a offensive smoker rules

oh yeah I hate vending machines

but..

When I started smoking that was the only way a 7th grader could get them was vending machines, those were the days..
50 cents for a pack of smokes.
now its close to 6 bucks

Lame Vending Machines

Back when I was in High Shool there was this coke and snack vedning area at the retirement home I worked in (damn that F'ing sucked) anyway... apparently the machines were as old as the residents in the home.

Simple coat hanger to snag a bag of chips... and one really double jointed limber guy was alway able to reach up the coke-chute and spin some dials down there that released the cans... he freakin' owned he would be like "whatcha want?" "Mt Dew" "Hold up" and sure enough it would be a Mt Dew... I have no idea how the internals of that machine worked but I guess it was entirely too simple.

Then one day they replaced the snack machine because they found the coat hanger.... so all 6 of us piled in the snack room... slowly lowered the face of it to the floor... then leveraged it up on it's top.... slowly flipped it back up and half of the contents were ours....

That is what you get for paying minimum wage to people working in the food service industry in a retirement home. DAMN THAT PLACE SUCKED!

1st Kyoukan said the first thing I did not hate em for, and expressed a solid thought without a CT Slam. As one of the few former smokers who at least admits they enjoyed it, I salute you.

Hmm vending machines, makes one come to mind. Only moderately humorous, but then again this is flamevault. I was on Redstone Arsenal Alabama, attending classes to become a Nuclear Weapons Technician. Over the years an RC Cola ( yes not coke) machine inside the secure area we trained in had a higher price set again and again by AAFES ( Army Air Force Exchange Service, what ya civilians call the "PX") because the people that filled it were all snippy about being escorted while inside the area and having to wait at times for doors to be shut, hallways to be cleared etc. So machines on post ran 50 cents, but ours ran 80, well this was simply not acceptable treatment, and as such an archaic Master Sergeant, who has to be one the the top 5 Electrical Systems and Theory guys on the planet ( Guy held like 7 different degrees, but loved the Army) went to the machine one day. Next day, it was set to drop two cans every other time you bought one. I got stuck with escort duty on the loser once who came to fill it and had to fight laughing as he bitched about the counter on the machine always being wrong. I think the nickname for the machine became "Daily Double".
