Today, I had to skip lunch to work on a big project, so I stopped by a vending machine. The number I wanted was 126, but I accidentally typed 124, using my last dollar. 124 was the only empty row. FML

Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML

Today, I used the last dollar in my PayPal Tap to pay to get myself a little something for work lunch. The register glitched just before the transaction finished, but it still took the money. No cash, no lunch. FML

Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML

Today, I was at a mini arcade and accidentally put a hundred dollar bill through the quarter machine. FML

Today, I went to get my car fixed. There was a vending machine in the waiting room, and I was hungry. The snacks were overpriced, but I still had a little money left over. I noticed a bag of Cheetos hanging loose, so I paid for them, hoping to get two bags. They both got stuck. FML

Today, I used the last of my money to buy a bag of vending machine chips for dinner. It got stuck. A passerby saw and generously offered to buy another bag of the same chips to dislodge it. Gratefully, I accepted his offer. It stayed stuck. FML

Today, as a joke, my friend put my bus money in the vending machine. Not only did the machine not return my money, it wouldn't give me an item in return. FML

Today, I decided to be a generous guy and slip a dollar from my pocket to a beggar. Turns out I'd slipped my hard-earned $100 bill instead. FML

Today, I went and bought lunch for all the people I work with. The only meal the place forgot was mine. FML

Today, I discovered that I once again forgot my credit card in the vending machine at work. This is the second time in a week that this happened, and now 6 coworkers have bought drinks with my card since I lost it. I have no way of making it back to work for a week. FML

Later that day he crashed his car costing him 124$. Afterwards, he was watching channel 124 and his cable broke. Finally, his girlfriend called at 1:24 AM and broke up with him.

Usually the vending machine says "Not In Stock" if you choose an empty row. Guess you were that unlucky. Hope you finish the big project soon and have a nice big dinner.

Man these Final Destination sequels really went off the rails. Should've stopped at 123.

His 124th girlfriend broke up with him on 124 Avenue, which was founded by Jose P. Miller the 124th!

Empty calories? Empty slot! I think in the long run, you made the best choice

Yes because, between the option of unhealthy food and being hungry for hours - someone would pick to be hungry :/

It seems like more of a mistake than a choice to pick the empty row.

There should be a moderator here solely for the purpose of pointing out when someone is joking.

Why not ask a friend? Maybe they could pick you up something or at the very least loan you a dollar.

Too bad your finger "slipped". Pay better attention OP. But hey...don't we all get screwed over by a vending machine at least once in our lives

Sorry about that OP. Big project or not take a short break and get food. You will work better in the long run.
