Tim Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think we need a bit of brightness in off-topic, and not the sadistic rude version of it either. Have you ever had that moment, your down to say your last $2.50 Change and when you go to use it, it turns into a waste (Vouchers work too)? Here's a start off: Sunday night, As me and a friend headed back home from a night of clubbing I was extreamely thirsty, So whith my $3.20 Change left over I decided to buy a 600ml Coke. after inserting the last of my money, I pressed the button, eagerly waiting to quench my thirst... I wait a moment, nothing happened. I tried the other buttons (would suck if they work now wouldnt it?) and no response from them either. So very dissapointed I pressed "Refund" on the vendor, and it refuses to cough up my beloved change. In the end, I was stuck on a Train followed by a walk which in total lasted 40 minutes just to get home and depressingly get a glass of water from the tap.

obfuscator Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 A similar thing happened to me at a rest stop once. I was heading up to my grandparents house and stopped at a rest place. I went to buy a Pepsi but it refused to give me the Pepsi or my $2. :( "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouchy Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I was lucky once and had the exact opposite. The machine went really weird, and accepted 20 Cents as 2 Dollars :D Press refund a few times and boo yah! But...It was at some training camp, and the guys that ran it decided to ruin the party and not let us use it. Then I caught one of them using it. Lol. But usually they are fairly good to me. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a card show once and a dealer had a nice box of stuff he was selling. I ran out of my $100, and me and 3 guys cleaned him out, He then put out 9 more boxes.

OldJoe Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, i remember a year ago or more. 15min til the store closed, i had been without snus (tobacco product) for a few hours and felt i was gonna blow up if i didn't buy a pack. I had like 2 in my wallet (didn't have internet bank at the time, so couldn't transfer money to my card). Was home alone, so couldn't borrow any money... I ran around the house searching for that last 1, and 10min before stores was closing i'd found some money so i took my bike fast as hell and bought a pack. Ahhh... The joy lol.

Honestly, I wouldn't even bother with him. I gave up after the... second post trying to debate with him? OT: I usually end up using last change on small stuff like milkshakes from Sonic or something like that. Seriously, it's hot as hell here after work most days, and I need something to chill with. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I had that happen with one of those newspaper things on a trip to Oregon. The window was messy, so I couldn't see that there weren't any left until after it took my 75 cents. :wall: Though usually I save small change. Once ended up with about $20 in quarters I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trapical Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Last week was my birthday (turned 22) and at work they were having a cake in my honor. I wanted some coffee to go with the cake and I knew there was a vending machine in the lobby. The party was planned for 2pm so at 1:50 I leave to get coffee. I get there and realize my wallet is in my car so I quickly walk over there, get my wallet and get back... to realize the machine demands exact change only. -.- I go to the business office down the hall and ask for change, they tell me to wait a minute, finally they find some quarters in the drawer and I'm all set to go. I walk back to the lobby and finally get my coffee. At this point I thought back as to why I was getting coffee in the first place... oh crap, the party! :ohnoes: It was 2:08 when I realized this and I hustled back to the floor where I work, I get there at about 2:12. There was an empty room and a slice of cake left on a plate... i missed my own party :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type properly, please. So now "cuz" is unacceptable? It's not unacceptable, just not proper English, and most people don't like that round here. Now enough bickering about his, "choice" of language. And this relates to last change: You buy yourself a good, meat pie, with your last $2, and just as you are about to eat it, the middle falls out onto the ground :( My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity.

i_love_burritos Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I've had plenty of these incidents. Too many too describe in full detail. All I have to say is that it almost always involves - less than $5, peer pressure, tiredness, hunger, and an asian food store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaponWorm Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I went to buy a Kit Kat out of a vending machine. I had previously used it with no problem. I put in the $2.50 and it moved, but didn't drop down. Thing is, the canteen is in the same room the vending machine is, could've just bought one from there :wall:.
