Here's something that I envision happening in "Office Space" or some similar situation:
I am at work - looking for an escape from the foolishness and stupidity that seems to have overcome my work life. I stop at a vending machine for some Skittles, which I had a weird craving for at that moment. It was 60 cents, so I put in 2 quarters and 1 dime. It rejects my dime. So, I put in another dime, it rejects it. I put in a third (and last) dime, and it rejects it. I engage the change release and attempt again. Again it is met with failure. During these times, I have a question in the back of my mind, "Why is the change so cold now?"
I then put in 3 quarters, which it accepts. I choose my Skittles and a message comes up asking for exact change. Well, shoot, you're rejecting my exact change and my non exact change. Well, I engage the change release and again the change is cold. So I take a look at the quarters and noticed they were not the ones I had on me originally. Then it hits me - I can cycle through the quarters and see if I can get the states I am missing.
So, after some time, I make out with a California and an Oregon. I think I'm caught up on 2005 now. If that is the case, I'm only missing Ohio. And, I now have a way of fishing for the quarters I am looking for :)
