Vending Machine Horror Stories
Yesterday, at work, a colleague got some candy out of the vending machine. When she opened it up, it was full of MAGGOTS.

:scared:

1. A vending machine once ate the city of Oakland.
That's what I heard.

2. Wow
I don't think you top that, everyone else will just say it took their money or the little spiral thing holding the item in didn't turn enough to let it drop.

9. Damn.
If that happened to me, I'd never touch a Smartie again as long as I lived. Which is sad, because Smarties are delicious.

8. I bought some dried figs at a health food store in a nearby town
and they were full of maggots too. :puke: The worst thing a vending machine has ever done is steal my ninety-five cents, knock on wood.

11. We had a beer machine in the barracks in Berlin
Then they sent us a Mormon company commander.

This man decided the presence of a beer machine in his dayroom upset his religious sensibilities, so he had them change all the beer to soda. Unfortunately for us, the fucker left the "Cold Beer" sign at the top and the brands of beer on the buttons. We found this out right after a swing shift...get off the bus, go to the dayroom, drop in your 95cents, and get a cold refreshing...FUCK!

Unfortunately for him, the company commander at the other end of the building didn't feel that way. He found out our CO had changed over the beer machine and ordered a second beer machine for his own dayroom.

Except for the beer machine thing, he was a pretty decent guy.
