That happened to me a couple of times. One time I started shaking the machine and a loud alarm went off. I kinda slinked away in embarrassment. And called the service number later to get my money back.

I got a Sobe tonight and the prices were marked to the side and I thought I was getting a Strawberry Daiquiri but I got an Orange Cream instead. I was so pissed.

I have never left a vending machine with my paid for stuff still in it. Last time it happened, the plexi-glass somehow got removed from the machine. This has nothing to do with the fact that I used plexi-cutters daily in that job. I do know the company bolted 4 machines together ( one ice cream, one change, one snack, and one pop machine) I can tell you that 4 machines falling over are extreamly loud. I hate when there is a localized earthquake that knocks stuff over.

lol YES, @ my JHS my bag of chips got stuck and i started to shake it like mad... then some teacher aide came and yelled at me i was still pretty pissed and ignore her crap on telling me to stop lol. Then a security guard reamed me and got in trouble. GOD DAMN NEVER GOT MY CHIPS OR REPAID damn bums.

moving on.

ohh few months ago the soda vending machine was open @ college... of course I didnt take anything but i just sat there and watch how many people would take some lol. I saw this dude come , open the vending machine looks around and ask why arent you guys taken some, he grabs 4 bottles and walks away.. im like thinking what the hey started walking up to the vending machine the vender person came up the esculator !! damn it blew my chance !! hahaha. It was open for a good 15mins-20mins with no one around.

oh well :)

i just remembered that the vending machines at my high school had like chicken wire between the glass and candy so you can't just bust it open, how paranoid is that crap ?

oh yeah, i don't hate when stuff gets caught. because you can just buy the same thing and then you get two. it's like 2 for 1.

Yeah, if you are the 2nd person, as in the above mentioned "Seinfeld" episode.

I loved it when I'm the guy after the lady who gave up shaking the vending machine. I got 2 Reeses Pieces afterward :)

But I'm nice and chased her down and gave hers back. No hug or kiss tho :D

This is when it becomes OK for you to shake for the second one, assuming no one's monitoring your progress.

Nope, I like it because it gives me a legitimate excuse to rock the machine back and forth, potentially letting forth a veritable jackpot of goodies as payment for my troubles. :D

I love my candy stealing device, I shall call it the stick!!
1.Insert stick horizontally into drop box
2.Slowly turn stick vertically where no hand has never gone before
3. Knock off as much candy as you can.
4. Retrive candy throw away stick and walk away
