Ask any repair person out there about their true opinions about the behavior of human beings…

You’ll get an earful!

And you’ll also get treated to some hilarious stories about why we’re probably not as smart as we think we are…

In today’s story, a repairman explained how he found out the true culprit of what was causing a vending machine to go on the fritz.

Hang on tight, folks…

I drove 40 minutes to fix a jammed vending machine. The cause was… unexpected.

“Yesterday I received a call:

“The vending machine coin validator doesn’t accept coins. It’s completely jammed. You need to come right away.”

Great.

40-minute drive.

I arrive and start diagnostics. From the outside the coin validator looks perfectly normal. I try inserting a coin.

What was hiding back there…?

Completely jammed. Nothing goes through.

Alright, time to open the machine.

I remove the coin validator. Check the sensors. Clean everything.

Still jammed.

Now I’m curious.

I remove the entire payment system and start checking the coin chute deeper inside the machine.

And that’s when I find it.

What?!?!

Someone had taken a 5-euro bill, folded it perfectly into a tiny square, and pushed it into the coin slot.

Not crumpled.

Not forced.

Perfectly folded.

Like origami.

Yikes!

It was wedged in so tightly I actually needed tools to get it out.

40 minutes of driving.

30 minutes of dismantling a vending machine.

All because someone tried to pay with a perfectly folded 5-euro origami coin.

I’m still not sure if I’m more annoyed… or impressed.”

Well, whoever did this wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

In fact, you could probably say that they might even be a little bit DUMB.

You just never know…

I guess some people still don’t know how vending machines work…
