Gerbil vs Vending machine.
Gerbil - 0
Vending machine $2.00
On my lunch break today I went down to the vending machine for a drink, an orange juice type drink, to be exact. I inserted my dollar, pressed numerous buttons and waited for my drink to appear. It failed to reach it's destination,
and lodged itself between a diet coke and the glass surface of the wall, through which I watched in agony. "I'll just order the diet coke onto which my juice is firmly lodged! Brilliant!" So I put in another $1.00 and waited for the coke to dislodge my drink, (my logic was not working at the time).
The coke twitches and my drink doesn't move.
Next try, the water above the juice, I put in another $1.00. (By this time all of my attention is focused on that juice and my thirst) Guess what. It jam's. Right above the juice.
Two completely unrelated jam's, this is impossible, I have never had this problem with this machine before!!!!
Anyways, after gently beating the machine with my fists, the water falls, my juice and the coke stay, unmoving, until maintenance arrives.
No vending machines were harmed.
