My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Have you ever experienced a temperamental vending machine that REFUSES to accept your paper currency?This happens to me more than I care to say…
The other day when I was trying to add money to my laundry debt card, the stupid-ass machine kept spitting my dollar bills back out. I tried again and again, but to no avail. Each time I inserted a bill…out it spit!
It looked as though the damn machine was sticking it’s tongue out at me and saying, “No, sorry…I hate that one…try another…”
I then tried inserting the bills from the opposite end…NO!
I then tried flattening out (nice and neat) all four corners of the bills, thinking maybe that was the problem…NO!
I flipped the bills over (bottoms up) and then tried inserting them that way, but that was a MAJOR…NO! NO!
(ok…what next?)
I then decided to go back to my apartment and see if I had a five dollar bill that I could use instead.
I found one.
So back I went to the blasted machine and proceeded to insert it.
However…OUT it spit…
I tried it again.
OUT it spit…
I did this several times before I finally noticed a little window on the front of the machine that said, WILL NOT ACCEPT NEW CURRENCY.
And when I looked down at my hand…I saw that it was one of the new five dollar bills that had just been printed.
I thought to myself, "Oh…really?"
So then I tried taking both my FISTS and SLAMMING them five times on the FRIGGIN’ machine and screamed…NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
(it didn’t change anything…but I sure as hell felt better)
"Ok…deep cleansing breath, Ron…now, let it go…"
