    Weird thread but In general I hate them I've no choice but to use one at my work being as I work nightshifts and it's probably outright stolen at least £40 from me so far.

    Also lost my temper with one in a bowling place the item didn't drop so I banged it to help it fall, at that point a serious loud alarm went off and I made myself scarce.

    I do know the tricks ie the code for changing the price of items and the one for getting two drinks for the price of one, but those machines aren't about anymore anyway and the info is on the net already.

    We've got an old vending machine at work that steals your money no matter what. It also can be completely out of snacks for a couple of days. (vendor's a real shyster)

    It's showtime at lunch while watching people deposit their money without looking first.

    My first purchase on a vending machine was when I was 6 and I was in the library(anyone remember that place? ;)) and I asked my mom to give me a euro to buy something from it. It was very exciting and the thing I got was a bag of Donkey Balls. Or Ms Donkeys Hot Hills or whatever. They're candy bags you perv.

    always were fond of vending machines. i only buy sodas, though.
    one day vending machines will vend body parts and people will be able to buy replacement lungs, liver, heart.

    Once upon a time, coconutbowling need quarters, so he put a dollar in the machine and pressed the return button. He was well surprised when he received 6 quarters instead of 4. He tried again a little later but got 10 dimes. The end.
     
  13. I hear in Japan, they have vending machines that sell used women panties. I think I saw it on the news before. Now, don't get too excited guys...

    I could use a vending machine for itunes gift cards... With 24 hour access...

    Used to hack them when i was younger. Today they have better security and you cant get the money without the key. Not sure about free drinks though.

    At my work place, we have this Vitamin Water vending machine thats totally screwed up. The conveyer system is poorly designed so the bottle would routinely fail to dispense. As a result, purchasing at this vending machine actually means buying the bottle already on the conveyer belt. The bottle that you chose will actually go to the Nth person after you.

    I prefer how the machine worked before they fixed it: when there are multiple bottles stuck at the conveyer belt and you're lucky, you just buy one bottle and the machine will clear the entire conveyer belt on you (about 4-5 bottles).
