...and Michael Jackson's birthday, but you can't have everything can you?
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. The true measure of a man is this: how quickly he can respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give - Philip K. Dick.

EIGHTY CENTS FOR A TWIX?!??!!

Man, if that machine wasn't bolted to the ground I hope you rocked it and at least knocked down a crappy bag of those stale pretzel sticks!

If it was bolted down, as they eventually caught on to me due to my disgust with continually being ripped off, I hope you put a sternly worded sticky note front and center on the glass: THIS MACHINE OWES ME .80 CENTS!! I-BASTER

And made damn sure to keep an eye out for the machine guy when he came on Wednesdays!

Shopping with Coco. :)

Oh, a nice martial arts movie! *delight!* I admire the skill so much, it's like a type of action-packed sort of ballet- mystery- car chase- fiery explosion-cop show sort of thing; Since it's only five bucks, I think I'll buy it.

Oh gosh, what long lines at the check outs. :( I'll visit the self check-out since I have so few things. :)

DAMMIT!

Miss? Miss?

Miss: Can I help you?

Coco: Yes, I'm sorry but the machine won't let me buy this movie without proof that I'm at least 18 years old. I'm at least 18...really.

Miss: I see that. :coffee: *presses magical button combo* Ok, it'll pass now.

Coco: Thank you. :)

Aannd BAM! Hiiiyooo!!!! I just stuck it to THE MAN - oh yeah!! Take THAT, dumb machine! :ar:

I was at work as a contractor inside a Georgia power plant so I had to be a good slave and put another 80 cents in the machine to get a second twix. It pushed out the first one and then got stuck. There really was no anarchy that day just capitalism sadly. i was mad though.

You have greater discipline than I , I-Baster. :)

Of course, it was the guys at work who taught me the machine shaking thing.

I wouldn't do that! My dad had a friend when he was young who did that with a Coke machine(it may have been on an uneven surface) and it fell on top of him! He was decapitated. :O True story. :(

Some place I used to work in, had a camera installed to see who was shaking the vending-machines to get their, paid for, goods.

The first guy caught on camera? The ass-hole who demanded the camera in the first place.

Did he get in trouble for it? Nope.

Not sure if they sued...I just remember my dad telling me that along with some other crazy stories about his old friends. And this would have been back in the 70's so I'm not sure if they had warning labels then.

I just know I never get rough with a vending machine! :hahano:

G'day Coco.

Erm, actually, sticking it to the man would have been downloading the movie. ;)
