Anger Management

Sep 15, 2008
Post a comment

I had anger management issues today. The target of my anger was a vending machine. With no time to make coffee before work I attempted to buy a diet coke from one of the new vending machines in the building. First I went for a can, because they were cheaper and I like the taste of canned soda over bottled soda. Diet coke was sold out. SO I went for the bottle machine. Put in my $2.00, pressed the button, heard a diet coke falling, recieved my 75 cents in change, reached under for my diet coke.

No died coke. Felt around some more. I even tried to open the little door I felt under there that it seemed like it would fall out of. Mad, I kicked the machine hoping it would dislodge somehow. What was this, the soda version of those stuffed animal claw machines?

Kick It!

Back in my office I called the 800 number I'd written down. I felt better knowing that the soda machine people would have to take the time to send me a refund. This was much better than getting the $1.25 back. (Although I'd been hoping for a bottle of diet coke delevered to my office on a velvet pillow.) The whole experience also managed to wake me up.
