OK, so I might have "yelled" something in the McDonald's drive-through without intending to do so...

OK, so I might have "yelled" something in the McDonald's drive-through without intending to do so...
...I probably shouldn't have ordered fast food today at all, but I did, and I get behind a woman who orders a hamburger at the drive-through, just a hamburger, and she even said "All I want is a hamburger," but then there's ten minutes of quality time between her and the box while she tells the guy taking the order what she does and does not want on the hamburger, then she takes a moment of silence after her order before pulling forward like she's at a fucking funeral Mass or something, then she pulls up to the first window and pays, and just...sits...there...and in what seemed like four times the gestation period of a fucking elephant looks up at the guy who took her money and asked "So do I just pull up to the next window now?" and I sorta lost it at that point and said

"YES, YOU JUST PULL UP TO THE NEXT FUCKING WINDOW NOW"



and I "thought" I said this in a normal tone of voice or maybe even under my breath but maybe I yelled it because when i pulled up to the window to pay, the guy was CRACKING UP, and he took my money and gave me my change and cracked up AGAIN, and as I was pulling up to the next window I could still hear him cracking up, I could hear him reading back the order for the car behind me and laughing his ass off, and when I got to the window for my food the girl handed it out to me and shot me a look and said a quick "thank you," no "have a nice day" or any of the normal stuff.

HEY! I'm only HUMAN, dammit.

:eyes:

7. How much worse can it get?
"Ask the guy I ordered from. I specifically said a BIG MAC, not a happy meal."

"I can't, sir, he's sitting in a room with 10,000 other people taking orders for McDonald's from all over the world."

"Well wade in there and FIND THE FUCKER!"

2. It was when you fired the shotgun that things got out of hand - good you have a fast car...
A guy I used to know seemed like he was having a bad night - when I asked what was wrong, he replied,
"Everything was going fine until I hit that cop..."

Words to remember...

5. Well, that's what you get for eating that crap. Life is just like that anyway. People around you mo
move so fucking slow they are practically going backwards. Going to the store I sometimes think I'm surrounded by zombies.

11. Sometimes, you can ascertain gender from a post...
.
...as in a male would never profess that his "fuse is short".
.
.
.
Trust me on this one.

13. I have a wicked and smutty sense of humor, not sure if you wanna go there.
But yes, that was funny, tyvm. Lot of gulf stuff in GD makes for a heavy heart, which your wry speak by has lightened.

15. "My Fuse Is Short" is, without a doubt, the weakest entry in Mickey Spillane's "Mike Hammer" series.
I knew he was fuckin' TAPPED when ye yanked THAT one out of his ass.

12. The one time I managed to shut my mouth was the time something most needed to be said.
Once in line at a Chinese restaurant, self-serve move your trays along past the food, a woman was loudly bimboing about how she just LOVED all of the items. She got to the dumplings and was loudly remarking upon them, then spotted spicy dumplings. "Spicy Dumplings? What's that?" she loudly intoned.

(slaps forehead)

14. "Spicy Dumplings" is, without a question, my all-time favorite Don Ho song.
Although I'll never understand why he puts them in his wine.

Huh? What's that you say? "Tiny BUBBLES?"

How the fuck can a BUBBLE make you happy and feel fine? It's AIR! There's nothing in a bubble but air! At least a spicy dumpling has...well, spicy filling. That's why it's called a spicy dumpling, dammit!

I think you should have picked up a couple of egg rolls from the buffet line, wielded them like nunchucks, and trounced this woman like a black belt master on crack. Seriously, you should have made all the "HOOOOOOOOO" noises and gotten into all the poses like striking crane and just rained thunder on her fuckin' SNOUT.

That's the way I would have handled it. Then again, my way works for me. That's why it's "my way."
