This morning one of my coworkers came in all huffy saying she was hungry. She was about to tackle a lady she saw walking down the hallway with breakfast in hand. She told us that McDonald's is no longer on her way to work now that she has to take her grandson to a different school. So if she wants to stop at Mickey D's she either has to double back to one location or go out of her way to get to another location. I looked at her and said "or you could eat breakfast before coming or bring breakfast like the rest of us do...you could bring frozen breakfast sandwiches and leave them in the freezer here..." Her response was a dirty look.
Or....I responded...you could bring cereal....or oatmeal....
After every suggestion she gave me that face.
She then disappeared for a few minutes and when she came back she asked if either I or my other coworker had a dollar she could borrow. She went to the vending machine and put her money in for kettlecorn but it got stuck. So my coworker MJ gave her a dollar and there went coworker number 1 back to the break room to try again. Only MJ jinxed her by saying it would probably get stuck again. It did. A minute later CW#1 comes back to tell MJ she had jinxed her. I asked CW#1 if she shook the vending machine and CW#1 said she did but she must not be very strong. So then MJ and CW#1 went back to the break room to get that kettlecorn.
Our cubicle isn't that far from the break room so I could pretty much hear them when they were in the break room. They started shaking the machine with no success. MJ then put in ANOTHER dollar and that bag got stuck too! So as they were shaking and finally successful the vending machine guy walks in and says "BUSTED!"
MJ doesn't stay in the break room much longer and starts laughing as CW#1 tells the vending machine guy the whole story. Vending machine guy says that the popcorn is in the wrong spot so then CW#1 starts yelling at him asking him why he put it in the wrong spot. Vending machine guys says he's not our regular vending machine guy. CW#1 is thoroughly embarrassed and walks out of the break room with 3 bags of kettlecorn.
Both coworkers come back laughing and telling me the story all over again and CW#1 gives me one of the bags of kettlecorn. A little while later MJ is in the break room again eating her breakfast of cheerios and as I go in to get some ice and water I check out the vending machine to see the offending spot that held the kettlecorn. The vending machine no longer has any kettlecorn!
I went back to my desk and looked at the kettlecorn bag and realized they expired last week!
