"I had nothing else on me so I told her to write it on a dollar bill." Smooth way to take her money, OP! Hobo's got gaaame.

Love life ruined for the want of a soda....

ok OP don't panic ! this is what you do ! find out what day the vending machine guy comes to refill the machine and collect the money . give him the quarters and tell him the situation and get your dollar back . yes it'd be a lot of dollars to go through . or you can hope luck is on your side and you see her again . it'd be a funny story to tell her actually if it works she might think about how "sweet of you" it was to go through so much trouble to get to know her . unless you're just trying to get some , then ydi . :|

Couldnt you have put your number in her phone or asked if she had paper or something...

Call the number on the vending machine Maybe the owner will be a decent enough person to call you with the number when the empty the machine

This FML makes me physically sick. I feel for you.

Loser

Looks like the vendor is gonna have a date. Lol, that sucks. Hopefully you'll see her again.

Now the employee for the vending company will have a cute date lined up for next week!

Watch the movie "Serendipity"!
