This is really stupid. I go to the candy machine cuz I want to get a little snack. All I have is a $5 bill, a $20 bill, a bunch of quarters, a dime, and 2 pennies. The candy machine doesn't accept bills over $1. But I have plenty of quarters. I decide to get a candy bar that costs 70 cents. I put in 3 quarters. It says to insert correct change. I mean, they machine can keep the extra 5 cents if it doesn't have any change to give me. I should have the option to pay 75 cents for the candy bar. With the money I had, I was not able to get anything. There was nothing there that was an integar multiple of 25 cents of 10 cents above an integar multiple of 25 cents. Everything was 65, 70, 80 cents. This is hard to believe. Maybe I should go back and check. Stupid candy machine.

(10 minutes later) I went back and checked. There was potato chips for 85 cents and gum for 60 cents, but I didn't want those items. I ended up walking over to another candy machine in the next building to get what I wanted.

(next day) It turns out there was an extra dime in my car which should have been in my pocket, but was somehow left in my car. If I had had that dime, then I would not have had any problems with the candy machine and I would not have written this digression.
