So at 2:30am coming back from Niverville my bud Jesse starts to crave some good ol' late night McDon's [McDonald's] (There's just something about McDonald's in the early hours of the morning!). We get there at rush hour (right when the bars close). It's dang busy and we get annoyed, so we head to the BK Lounge (Burger King, Dane Cook lingo) across the street. Their lobby isn't open 24hrs so I come up with the idea to walk through the drive-thru. Well, I persuaded Thom and Jesse to at least, Jord and I decided against it and followed up in my silver jet [VW Jetta wagon]. We get to the intercom and Thom and Jesse order and then walk up to the window. Jordan wanted to order but the guy bitterly said "Drive up to the window... please." He thought Jesse and Thom were in the car and apparently the BK didn't have a video feed on the drive-thru. Weird. Well we didn't argue and Jordan was convinced they would defs [definitely] spit in our food (so he didn't order). We pull up behind Jesse and Thom and the guy slides open the window to see the two lads standing there. His temper kicks in and he gave us some tude [attitude], "What the hell is going on here?! I get robbed like this!" Obviously frustrated, he says "you have to be in the car to order." Now I'm the driver so I repeatedly apologized and was trying to calm the guy down. "You guys are wasting my time," he says (He works the late night shift... wasting his time??). I get handed the money as the lads jump back in the silver jet and I have to unbuckle and stretch my lanky body half way out the window to deposit the funds. As the food is being transferred Jord decides to be funny and honk the horn when the guy isn't lookin'. Wow, I'm embarrassed, though I can't help but laugh. Jord does it again. Unbelievable. I finally get all the goods and want to peel off but I forget to straighten the steering wheel and almost crash into the brick wall. Now I'm really embarrassed; this is RIDICULOUS (I didn't abbreve to ridic because I needed the full length of the word to describe my feelings)! I reverse and then red lined it the hell outta there. Good times.
Now as we left the BK Lounge I mentioned that that was my worst drive-thru experience ever. However I didn't know that the same day about 17 hours later a similar scene would develop. Jord needed a ride out to our graduated class' 2 year reunion, however, my silver jet was crammed with a volleyball net with 8 foot wooden posts for my church picnic. So he ended up having to sit in the only available seat, the one right behind me. First of all it was odd because it felt like I was his dad chauffeuring him around, and secondly he wanted to go through the drive-thru at Tim Horton's for an Iced Capp on the go. Well, I pulled up so that Jord himself could order from the back seat. When the woman asked what he wanted he replied "Hey baby (it was quite swift), I'll take a medium Iced Capp with chocolate milk." Of course I chuckled and then pulled up to the window. I asked the guy if he had seen our sitch [situation] before, he laughed and said "Oh yes." As Jord is paying for his drink, I am not paying attention in the least and faintly hear Jord say thank you. I take this as my cue to leave but I was wrong. In fact, Jord just received his change back and did not receive his drink yet. Jord was startled and while laughing told me to back up (I bet the truck behind us was just loving it). This made the clerk's day for sure. He was loving it, he struggled with keeping his laughter down as he passed over the Iced Capp. Wow, I was in disbelief. In the same 24hrs I happened to fail at going through a drive-thru smoothly twice. And in both instances I did not even order anything! Though it is always nice to have a hard laughter sesh [session], and I loved lookin' back on these two events during the following days.
p.s. I just founded an amazing food combo... wait for it... Pizza and Rice Krispie Squares!!!!!!! You may think "No that cannot be," but it's true; try it.
hilarious manny... you are funny! and you suck at going through the drive thru! haha
