Essex, innit?
I was hungry today. Oh so hungry.

I'd been in the office from 7:30am and left 6:30pm.

I'd had lunch. But it clearly wasn't enough.

I had stomach ache. It was demanding food.

I had 5 mins to wait fro my train. I saw a chocolate vending machine.

I dug deep, oh so deep into my trouser pocket and with glee, pulled out a 50p piece. My only change.

Droolong heavily, I peered through the glass front and weighed up the various choices of sugary snack.

Snickers - too smelly;
Crunchie - a favorite of mine, but in severe hunger situations, just not enough for your money;
KitKat - bleh, my dad eats these.
Crisps - I've never liken them;
Yorkie - Now we're talking! :D

So in goes my 50p. My only 50p.

Select your number. Number 26. It's number 26. 2.... 6....

I watch in eager anticipation as the spiral turns. My Yorkie gets closer to being mine. All mine.

The sprial stops. The Yorkie stops. No. No. No!

It stayed there. Perched on the edge. Antagonising me. I could hear it laughing.

I tried to shake the machine. No chance.

I shoulder barged it. No chance.

Hang on, someone else wants to use the machine. Let's see if they get my Yorkie. No. The idiot! He selects crisps!

Someone else is there. I ask nicely if they fancy a Yorkie to help push mine through. But she's only buyng a bottle of water. Gah!

Then my train arrives and I have to get on it. Hungy. Oh so hungry! :mad:

They're not for girls !!!!!!! :p
Precisely. The yorkie sensed your inherint girly-ness and rescued itself from passing through your rectum.
 
lol the same thing has happened to me before. I put 50p in the 1 at college and it didnt come through. I hated that machine, but again i was hungry and put 50p in another time and it didnt come out again. Im either very unlucky or the college is making a bundle off that machine!
 
Our machine at work knows when stuff hasn't come out, and gives you your money back. There's a certain bag of cookies that quite often ends up perched on the edge, then it refunds your money, then you kick it and it drops :D

Free cookies!
 
tbh you should have just punched a hole through the perspex and taken the yorkie. It's the only option in those kind of situations.

It's what Ray Mears would have done.
 
People were already looking at the angry/hungry looking guy shoulder barging, kicking and hitting the vending machine with his umbrella!! :o

most of them were taking great amusement in it :mad:
 
Keyboard warrior/ If that happened to me, I'd round kick the glass, smash it, put all the chocolates in my backpack, urinate into the machine and then set it on fire. :mad:

No really it's happened to most of us mate, I usually get someone who works in the shop or whatever to refund me though.
 
I enjoyed buy one get one free on Yorkies tonight on the train home.

Seriously though, I do feel your pain. The machine at college used to do this all the time, that was 10 years ago though, suerly spiral technology should have been superseeded by now....it's deeply flawed!

Ours does it at work all the time, just needs a bit of tiltage;)

Our machines here at work suffer from the same problem, on the late shift I usually wander round and check them out :p Last Friday I got 3 packets of Salt N Shake with a quick nudge :p
