Man v machine: Man wins, machine gives crisps!

For those of you who believe in Karma (and by right, probably watch "my name is EarL") heres some good karma for you. Remember the other day when i was shortchanged by a school going hippie called a child. Remember how it was the shop keeper fault. Remember the kids shifty eyes.

Well today (and actually two days as well) i got something for free as well.

There is a vending machin at work for people like me who are too lazy to make their own lunch. I went into to get some Doritos tangy cheese flavour crisps to accompany my baguette. Thats just the way i roll. I have to have crisps with my food at lunch.

Anyway i put my money into the machine and chose my choice of crisp. The machine tongs started spinning and then as about as it was to throw out the crisps they got stuck. The little panel told me my selection was "lost". As you can imagine i swore at the machine.

Theres a sign that says the machine shouldnt be rocked. Because maybe if your a girl and you rock the machine with your feeble arms it will topple over and crush you to girly heaven (or girly hell)! This applies to sqeaky men as well.

i didnt pay any attention to the notice and proceeded to rock the machine and lo and behold it gave up those chilly salted treats.

RESULT!!!


Then i was further amazed when it gave me all of my money back. Woah sticky situation. With two people sitting in the canteen i had to kind of pretend that the machine didnt give me my change back.

But this has now happend twice in a row and i think i might be onto something. I think i may have a system.



Am i evil for exposing the machine's weakness?

Update: Another attempt for free crisps resulted in failure. I have had to PAY for my snack this time! This sucks lemons!
