What do you do when a vending machine steals your money?

First I push random buttons then I curse it out.

What do you do when a vending machine steals your money but refuses to hand over the goods (or give you a refund)?

 

[GoodGame]

Punch it until it threatens to topple and maim me.

No, actually a twisted coat hanger sometimes helps to get you what it stole.

I'd reevaluate myself as to why I would ever waste a dollar twenty-five on Resse-Cups anyway, then never use a vending machine again.

Apparently some people actually die from rocking the machines too much and being crushed by them.

Word.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Just leave. What else am I supposed to do that isn't illegal or stupid?

 

[thetrooper]

I kick it hard enough to hurt myself. Pretty stupid.

 

[eastsidebagel]

I punch it several times, then bugger off. Sad!

 

[Adrogans]

I piss on it.

[Onionsoilder]

Shake my head, then slowly walk away...

Spoiler :

Followed by a running jump kick directly at the machine.

I cry. Everything is against me in this world.

Woe is me. Woe is me.

Complain to whoever owns the building, then maybe contact the vending company?

If it's enough money, then get the phone number of the vending company and call them. If it's very little money, ignore the machine until someone else has a successful use of the machine. Then it would be safe to use again.

Slap in another bill and get the food.

I rarely use vending machines, and I only do when a) it's the only source of food around, and b) I'm starving; thus, putting in an extra dollar is justified to me.

 

[choxorn]

Give it the finger.

 

[Mowque]

Don't use vending machines. Lesson of the day.

 

[salty mud]

Attack it. If it breaks open, help myself to the contents which are rightfully mine.

 

[Eclipse-X010]

Shoot it with this:
