"It's like I don't even care what happens for the rest of the day" - Barney Stinson

[–]palordrolap 15 points16 points ago

Something similar happened to me in an airport once. After quenching my thirst with a tasty beverage, I was passing through security when an officer said that I'd have to relinquish the bottle and its contents (of which there was some left).

Now, I was OK with this and understood the rules, so I handed him the bottle... but there was something about the way he threw it into the trash that showed utter disdain and contempt for me. How dare I take a bottle through airport security?

There was no need for that, but thought better of complaining.

Later on, prior to the flight I started feeling hungry as well as butthurt, so I went to a vending machine. There I realised had already spent all my change in that country's currency.

Damn.

So I looked around to see if anyone was watching and then stuck my hand in the drop-tray anyway to see if there was anything in there.

Five chocolate bars.

Sweet karma. I left a couple in the machine for the next lucky traveller.

Sure it wasn't a healthy meal, but it tided me over until I made it back to a place I could spend my own currency.

You sir, are a saint.

A story not quite similar but i felt very lucky. I was about 13 years old at an arcade and like most 13 year old who have been out at an arcade for longer then an hour I had run out of money. So I was scoring the floors looking for lose change and was about to give up when I saw the pinball machine start light was flashing. I quickly ran over to it and made sure no one had put the money in then just step away for a second and was coming back but that did not seem to be the case so I started playing and of course pinball games don't last that long especially if you can barley see the table. But as It ended I noticed it was the start button was flashing again someone had paid for at total of 16 games of pinball and just left. To this day I don't know if they just didn't know how to start it or what but it was a very good day for me.

I know, the massive number of reposts on the front page is crazy...

But if it is on the front page, it's pretty much over as you get voted there.

So they tell me...

[–]elighcash 5 points6 points ago

Video is way better. They are just so stoked when it works out.

you sire are Buzz Killington!

[–]Fapologist 0 points1 point ago

How?

[–]VersatileLight 12 points13 points ago

Am I the only one who doesn't think this man is lucky, just reasonably smart.

[–]Skulltown_Jelly 7 points8 points ago

Yeah because if you are smart you will find a vending machine with 2 bottles about to fall which are one above the other...

[–]VersatileLight 1 point2 points ago

I was talking about how to get all the bottles out by only buying one, not finding the machine.

[–]Skulltown_Jelly 2 points3 points ago

Yes, I know you were talking about the wrong situation, that's why I corrected you.

[–]VersatileLight -2 points-1 points ago

No, you just assumed I was talking about the machine not the way the bottles were laying.

[–]Skulltown_Jelly -2 points-1 points ago

I can't believe that I'll have to explain this...

YOU were the FIRST to correct the title, assuming that the man was lucky because he got the 3 bottles, when he was lucky for finding that gem of machine.

Can you see now where you were wrong? Will I have to replay again? I hope not. Have a nice day.

[–]VersatileLight 1 point2 points ago

You just assumed that it's about finding the soda machine. How about we just agree to disagree.

[–]JoyPF 2 points3 points ago

The luckiest man alive... Probably had to pee after that .___.

God damnit, this was the worst day at college ever.

[–]Blazeron 1 point2 points ago

I knew the 2 was coming but my face was dumbfounded when i saw the 3rd... that is one lucky guy

[–]vocalyzer 1 point2 points ago

PLINKO!!!!

[–]JurassicParkerr 1 point2 points ago

It wasn't luck. If you watch the video, they planned it.

[–]GoWithItGirl 1 point2 points ago

HOW DID HE KNOW TO FILM THAT??

[–]GOPLAYOUTS1DE 1 point2 points ago

Achievement unlocked

[–]MuffinTrombone 1 point2 points ago

He isn't that lucky. It looked like he got a Pepsi Max. Ewww.

[–]63648411 1 point2 points ago

Wow! He saved two whole dollars there. That's like lottery money.

[–]Brif 0 points1 point ago

I spent half of my time in highschool trying to get double gatorades.

[–]pruzzante 0 points1 point ago

This man is lucky. With my luck, if i had tried to knock them down like that the one that I actually had paid for would have gotten stuck and I would have gotten nothing.

[–]DarkSideofOZ 0 points1 point ago

Took me a second to realize he got 3 drinks not just 2.

[–]rasmus9311 0 points1 point ago

I want to hear their screams of joy, where is the video? ;D

[–]AtTheLeftThere 0 points1 point ago

vending machine plinko

[–]Willyjwade 0 points1 point ago

That mother fucker should play Plinko!

[–]Slickwats4 0 points1 point ago

I would imagine their reaction was similar to the double rainbow guy.

[–]rayvinriley 0 points1 point ago

I just got a hard on.

[–]yagnu 0 points1 point ago

i love derp flavored orange soda

[–]sirdoken2 0 points1 point ago

I thought the orange drink said "Derp".....

[–]TheHerbalGerbil 0 points1 point ago

I once got like 5 Monsters for $2, because the release jammed open and dumped the cell’s entire contents. :)

TRIPLE KILL.

[–]Fluttershychotic 0 points1 point ago

Unlucky!!

He got a pepsi...

[–]yesthisiskat 0 points1 point ago

How did he know to start filming...?!

[–]kaiyotic 10 points11 points ago

well he saw 2 drinks got stuck, and figured if i buy that specific water it's bound to knock down the fruit juice and who knows if i get really lucky i get the pepsi too, lets start filming before i try this, cause it might be really epic.

[–]yesthisiskat -2 points-1 points ago

Touche!

[–]KarmaTornado 0 points1 point ago

There is no win here. He tried to get pepsi, and failed. He tried to get orange juice, and failed. Then he bought water, and got the three he paid for. There is no "3 for the price of 1"

[–]Tiop 0 points1 point ago

Wondering how you know this is exactly what happened.

[–]T-real -1 points0 points ago

You should totally play Plinko on Price is right!!

[–]fiveinchpixie -1 points0 points ago

Anyone else think "pachinko"?

[–]Shockum 5 points6 points ago

Nah, I was thinking of plinko

[–]manominous -1 points0 points ago

LUCKY HIM!

Probably the luckiest most talented minimum-wage machine-filler in the whole vending machine company.

[–]ShinyJaker -1 points0 points ago

I saw a vending machine in this exact situation in school. Aligned with 2 friends, armed with a combined total of around £2 (enough for 2 drinks), we were determined to knock the other 2 down to effectively double our money.

Alas, the drinks we bough just got stuck, creating a clusterfuck of disappointment.

[–]Dairhenien -3 points-2 points ago

It's diabetic coma time!

[–]handmetherope 5 points6 points ago

Water, Fruit juice and a Pepsi Max. ಠ_ಠ

[–]Kitty_McBitty 0 points1 point ago

Diabetes party time!

My name is not Max. You're not making any sense.
