Yesterday evening I went to a seminar about equality together with a friend. After the seminar my blood sugar was really low and I needed something to eat right that very moment.
I headed towards the dispenser of sweets and snacks in the tube station. I put the money in to it, I made my choice, and simultaneously I said jokingly to my friend that I would be really annoyed if the bag of nuts, that I had just chosen, would get stuck in the dispenser.
And just as I had said the above, the bag of nuts DID get stuck. I screamed out "NO!".
As I've many times seen young boys throw themselves against the dispensers to get some sweets, I did the same. But the bag of nuts did not move. I tried again. And again. Nothing happened.
My friend, who is also pregnant, tried to help me. So for a short while we must have been a pretty funny sight: Two pregnant women throwing themselves against a dispenser of snacks. We must have looked quite desperate.
The bag of nuts still didn't move. Then, my friend, who obviously had a bit of a clearer head than me, took a look at the small screen on the dispenser, and noticed that it said: "Make your choice again". She told me, and so I did.
Out came TWO bags of nuts, instead of one, and I've definitely never before been so happy about some nuts in a bag.
