First off, I'll be 16 tommorow. The bad news is that the liscence place is closed till January 9th for renovation. Of all times, they have to renovate on my birthday. Just my luck. Getting twice as many presents doesn't hurt though.

On to the second subject.

At my high school, there are 20-30 soda machines and none of them accept dollar bills. They all take change. There's Just one problem. 9/10 of them are jammed with change. It seems that whenever a coin gets stuck, morons attempt to unstick it by jamming more change into the slot.

One day me and my friend were trying to get some of the coins out, or to atleast make them fall into the slot. We spent twenty minutes using bent paperclips (as pictured) with little sucess. This is when I had a eureka moment. I quickly shuffled off back to the classroom, where I grabbed a floppy disk and broke off the metal protector slidey thing at the top. I then used scissors to cut the thing in half (see red line) and ran outside.

After using the paperclip to pull the coin to the front of the slot, I used my newly fabricated coin grabber to grip it and pull it free. Within a few minutes we had several dollars in change. As long as there is an abundance of idiots with quarters, we have free drinks for life (or atleast the rest of high school).

woot.

Nice going. Reminds me of our lucazade machine in school. It has a wooden frame to stop people shaking it but every so often the frame comes loose...
 
Haha good job.

Back in my school we used to turn the change return flip all the way around till it was stuck. People didn't know how to fix it so every day we would go by it and get a few bucks of change and buy something. We also were able to get free pop tarts since that one spin a bit too far and we could knock a second one out. It was pure genious.
 
Thats pretty nifty - just make sure no other students or teachers find out about it.
 
I remember getting pissed off with a vending machine so much i just punched the side of it....


I must have been a lil angry cos it tiped a fair way and like 6 things fell to the bottom lol!
 
Nice one!

Once got about 8 or 9 cans on 7UP from the machine at work for 50p...and got the 50p back!

\o/
 
We had a soda machine at school that broke and started spewing soft drinks everywhere- I came home with like 30-40 Sunkist cans stuffed in my backpack.
 
Our machines are litteraly caged up after recent machine bashings. Now we no longer have coke machines due to some ****ing moron decided explosives were the answer. (Now we have M&M machines.)

Melted shrapnel plastic. Everywhere.
 
I did somethign liek that, but it was..accident.

If I hit the coin return button, for some reason, after people bought something, I'd get their money back..every time.

They fixed it in 2 months :( No more camping for me.
 
Once I realised the the lock of our vending machine was broken. I opened it but didn't take anything and I had to dodge everyone suddely running over to it, lol.
 
Today is the last day of school, and all the time before a break the soda machine guys always make the soda's free. But, people obviously stock up a and all the sodas are gone within like 20 minutes.
