I just put in two dollars for a chocolate bar and the fucking machine moved the loop thing, but it didn't go far enough and the chocolate bar is stuck, so it ripped me off of 2 dollars!! Damn it! That really pisses me off. It's just a little thing, but when you're already having a stressful day, it's the icing on the cake. I want to swear every swear word in the world right now. Help me out.

PEACE, Mike.

Mike come to L.A., I'll feed you all the chocolate bars you want.

hehe just like the movies! .....


....whats wrong Mike?!

This reminds me of that Michael Douglas movie where he goes berserk at McDonald's.

That is one expensive chocolate bar.

Put in two more dollars... There's a good chance that both will drop...
Lenny....

You have a right to ax that machine apart till you get your fucking chocolate bar.

Similar thing happened to me in the US embassy last year. I finally took some US money with me there because they have vending machines there that sell only American stuff, but also accept only dollars. So I wanted a Sierra Mist, but the machine swallowed my money and didn't give me anything. I was MAD, but I refrained from kicking the machine because displaying aggression in the US embassy is not the best idea if you want to stay inside (and alive).

That's what I thought, as even if it is any $ over $1.05, it is expensive - or does this have to do with the Canadian conversion.

I think it does.

My hotel in Montreal was $293 per night Canadian which is roughly .15 cents in America.

Good advice. That works pretty often.

a bit of tilting around usually gets it out.

i still don't know why you used a toonie. shouldn't it have given you back your change?

when is the word it captialized my braint hinks like a computer geek and see IT as in Information Technology.

The first itme I saw the thread, I was like, huh, IT vending machines, wtf...

i was thrown off too.

Yep, same.

George Costanza?

I thought he was inflecting on the wrong word.

I think its the not all that valuable Canadian dollars....

Wow. Mike I know completely how you feel. It's happened to me at least 3 times since September. It just makes me seriously want to break the damn machine Office-Space style!

Our dumb vending machine at work has all bottled (glass) drinks on the top level while the plastic ones at the bottom.

LOL. That seriously made me laugh. Has anyone dared get the glass ones?

I was craving a frappucino in the morning... but I got scared.

Though I always see the vending machine guy only refill the bottom ones.

lol, that's really funny.

To all those who thought $2 was rather expensive, please keep in mind the following:
1. It was not your regular size chocolate bar; it was one of the biggies.
2. Canadian dollar exhange rate. Hehe.

Putting more money in was not an option, because I had no other money! I'm broke, and had only $2.
Also, I probably kicked and smashed the machine a couple dozen times trying to get my bar. It was stuck for good.

Anyways, I'm better now, but I officially hate that vending machine.

PEACE, Mike.

Rage is hot.

They have a fone # you can call for a refund, yknow.


Ok, I just made that up, i'd never pay for another vending machine item in my life if that were true....but, if it was at school or a job or something, they really are usually good about giving money back and stuff. well, at my schools anyway.

oh well, who cres
