chaobellAfter I woke up and showered and everything, I decided to go down to the Coke machine and grab a drink. I had no bills in my pocket at the time, just change. Three quarters, some dimes, some nickels.
This Coke machine has a hasty habit of getting its change chute clogged up, so I first peered in to make sure there was no coin gridlock in there. It looked clear. I put in one quarter.
"$0.25," the machine's LED thingy said. I put in another.
"$0.50." And another.
"$0.75." And that's all the quarters. Let's try the dimes!
"$0.85." Plink. "$0.95."
And now, the nickel!
*clunk*
"$0.95."
...oh, ferfucksake. I hit the "coin return" button. Nothing.
"$0.95."
I tried dropping in another nickel, to hopefully dislodge the one hung up in the works.
"$0.95, bitch."
"FUCK," said I, and slammed the heel of my hand just below the coin slot.
*...clk....clink...clatter...*
"$1.00."
I literally fell over laughing. That is the first, and likely the last time that has ever worked.
