What the crap?

batskeetsI think I just "won" free crackers. Seriously!
I put in my $0.70, made my selection, and the crackers dropped down, as expected. But then, suddenly, the machine spat out some coins into the coin return, and I'd put in exact change, so that was unexpected. I looked at the LED on the machine, and it said, "YOU ARE A WINNER," and when I reached down to get the coins in the coin return, they were the same ones I'd put in.
Has anyone ever encountered this in a vending machine before? What the crap?
Of course, the happiness of free crackers seems rather small, considering that I have learned of at least one layoff, and possibly more than one. And, one of the possible victims is probably the only person in this frickin' office, outside of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
divadrummer, who has actually attempted to be social with me outside of work. (And that's, "being social," in the sense of anything that's not a general "everyone in the company" invite)
Again, I say: WHAT THE CRAP??!
This "resolve to be happy" thing I'm doing seems to be facing a lot of opposition. [insert long string of profanities here]

Oh, and the vending machine is, sadly, in the office. Maybe if you are ninja-like you can sneak in and reap the rewards! :O
