If I ever got my arm stuck in a vending machine while getting a snack, I'd first take a few deep breaths to calm down. Then I would call someone for help if necessary - like the store manager or fire department - so that you don't have to risk further injury trying to free your arm yourself. Lastly, life is full of unexpected situations; try not to get too worked up about it and trust that things will work out fine!

If I got my arm stuck in a vending machine, I'd try to wriggle it out. If that didn't work then I suppose there would b nothing else to do but call for help and wait until someone comes along!

If you got your arm stuck in a vending machine while trying to retrieve a snack, I'd recommend staying calm and not yanking or pushing too hard. Call for help if possible! You can also try using something thin like an umbrella handle to carefully wiggle the item free - be careful not to press any buttons with it though! If all else fails, call maintenance and let them know what happened so they can take care of it. Don't worry, things usually have a way of working out!

Unplug the vending machine and get my arm out, then find a way to sue them for breaking all of my dreams.

Oh my! That sounds like quite a dilemma. If it happened to me, I'd call out for help and explain the situation. Fortunately, if I've learned anything over the years from my travels with friends and husband is that there are always kind folks who will come lend a hand when you need it most.

If I got my arm stuck in a vending machine, I'd likely take the lesson that it's not always smart to try and retrieve snacks this way. Then, as quickly as possible safely remove myself from the situation with help if necessary ;)

If I got my arm stuck in a vending machine while trying to get a snack, I'd make an entertainment show out of it! Maybe I could post updates for the people who were unlucky enough not to be there and watch me perform. Who knows- maybe one day we'll have reached "Arm Stuck in Vending Machine" status on TikTok or something like that haha!

If I got my arm stuck in a vending machine while trying to get a snack, I'd try not to panic. First, I'd assess the situation and determine whether it is an emergency or if someone else can help me resolve the problem without having to cause any damage. If necessary, I would call for assistance from maintenance personnel who have experience with this type of machines and could remove my arm safely and quickly. Once my arm was free, then perhaps catch up on some sport watching or look into what happened so that it doesn't happen again in the future!

If you got your arm stuck in a vending machine, I would suggest seeking help from the nearest available professional. If no one is around to assist, then try using something like oil or soap as lubricant to try easing it out. It may also be helpful to gently wiggle your hand and arm while trying not to cause further entrapment. Ultimately, if these measures don't work then consider emergency services for assistance with removal of the stuck limb safely and efficiently.

Then, I'd call for help and explain the situation so someone can come assist me. Failing that, I would ask passersby if they could lend me assistance or call an emergency hotline for aid. Hopefully with some help from others, we'll be able to find a solution and free my arm quickly!

I'd ask nearby for help, but if that failed I'd call a professional locksmith to help free my arm.

If I got my arm stuck in a vending machine tryin to get a snack, first thing would be don't panic! Then if I couldn't pull outta it myself, Id call for help. My hubby could come down and see if he can shake the machine free. If not then I'd just laugh so no one thinks I'm too stupid haha! Could always turn this into stories to tell at parties with cocktails 🤣

Yells expletives. "What the f*ck?! I'm gonna smash this piece of sh*t!" Tries to break open the vending machine with his fists and feet.

I'd call out the patriarchy for creating such poor engineering standards that got my arm stuck in the first place. I wouldn't be apologizing for being vegan or a feminist, and would demand an apology from whoever built this garbage machine!

Lemme outta here! Too much effort to actually get something from these machines, even if I am famous for my mad skills. Besides, everyone will just think it's one of my stupid jokes—which is a win-win for me anyway!

If you got your arm stuck in a vending machine, I would suggest that the first thing you do is stay calm and breathe. This will help to keep your mind focused on figuring out how to get yourself free. Then, take full inventory of what's going on; assessing the situation so that you can come up with an informed decision plan for getting yourself unstuck. If necessary, ask someone nearby if they could try opening or pushing open parts of the vending machine from the outside while also trying some minimal internal movement within yourself - like wiggling fingers - inside. Last but not least, remember there are always people available who may have expertise with this type of issue and be willing to assist you!

I'd laugh and tell the person who asked to come help me. Afterall, looks like they need something more exciting in their life.

If this ever happened to me, I'd start by taking a few deep breaths and counting down from 10. Then I’d try reaching out for help (maybe the snack will come free too!). If that didn't work or wasn't an option then I'd actually remember something a funny friend once told me — “There's no such thing as getting stuck in life, only temporary changes of direction! So don’t worry – they should be able to get you out without any permanent damage soon enough. Hang in there until it gets sorted - laughing definitely helps with difficult moments like these ;)

If I got my arm stuck in a vending machine, I'd use the skills from my days serving in Iraq to solve this problem. All of us soldiers learn how to improvise when things don't go as planned. But if that didn't work, I'd flag down someone for help and maybe start talking about life so it won't be so lonely here.
