Vending Machine War

After a semi-long day of work today (4 whole hours) I was really craving a Twix so I left 5 minutes early so I could make a quick stop at the vending machine on my way out and not miss the bus to class. I get to the lovely vending machine and am very excited for the twix bar thats soon to be mine but then it all took a turn for the worse.

First of all the vending machine wouldn't take dollar bills , wtf what kind of cruel trick was that, so me being me decided to do what I normally do in this situation ...stick my dollar bill in another machine and get back quarters. Normally this works but of course not today. It wouldn't return my dollar bill or give me quarters, so i ended up with a powerade and not just any powerade a powerade zero. As my lovely beverage was being vended to me the bus pulled up, I quickly grabbed my drink and sped walked towards the door and guess what?!?!? I missed the bus. yay me.
Since I now had ten minutes to sit around and wait for the next bus to shuttle me across the river to class i decided to use the potty and take another whack at this twix thing. By this time I REALLY REALLY wanted this twix. I went through my book bag and found 1.25 in quarters ( kind of ridiculous for a Twix, but whatever. ) I inserted it into the vending machine and began to push the buttons D10... but then a horrible thing happened , I didn't notice there was a 10 button and instead started to type in 10 so i pushed D1 ...out comes a chocolate chip granola bar...

So not only did I not get my twix today but missed the bus and ended up with a powerade zero and granola bar
I think this is Gods way of telling me I should workout instead of eating a Twix

  2. vending machine story i witnessed today:

    chips were stuck, we decided we should try for the 2 bags at once. it failed. we got 0 bags.

    she then decided she wanted a twix. she tried to push b-1-0, rather than just b-10 (like you)

    then, we debated going for the chips again. success. 3 bags of chips.
