Life can be awkward: Getting a soda.

Okay, just now, at work, I was at the soda vending machine, and it's usually pretty quiet around here, so sometimes, when I least expect it, my childish side comes out.

The vending machine has this little robotic arm carriage that run up and sideways to get your can or bottle. I always pick the furthest one from the drop point so I can watch the robot arm work.

TODAY, in a really bizarre mental moment, I was doing Darth Vader's voice and pretending I was using the force on some helpless soda vending droid as I wildly gesticulated with my arms and hands and said "Don't make me destroy you!" and "You don't KNOW the POWER of the dark side." and when it dropped the can out, I said "You are BEATEN!"... 

ONLY TO TURN AROUND TO FIND SOME DUDE WATCHING ME GET THIS SODA. As god as my witness he said, "You, uh, done there Darth Vader?"

I started laughing, but was SOOOOOO damn embarrassed I ran/walked back to my cubicle to tell my co-worker Annette.

Seriously! It's not just me right?! Granted the light sensor comes on in that break room, but approaching those machines with that kind of lighting and NO ONE ELSE instantly hears the Imperial March? No?... *crickets*...
