I'm a sucky evil line cutter!
This happened about half an hour ago, and it just now occurred to me how funny it is.
I was going through McDonalds to grab a couple of cheapo dollar burgers (chicken sandwiches, actually, but who's counting?) for lunch before coming in to work today. Now, most of the McDonalds around here have two drive-thru lanes which are open all the time, including this one. So I pull into the parking lot and see the first lane has three cars in it, the second one has tumbleweeds rolling across it. WTF, herding instincts, but whatever, I pull into the second one and make my order and pull around to the window. Since it's a fairly nice day out today, I had my windows rolled down to enjoy the air before the locusts come tomorrow (our weather has been insane the last couple weeks, heh.)
Just as I get to the second window to pick up my food, one of the cars that had been in the first drive-thru suddenly whips up beside mine, honking it's horn, and this middle-aged Churchlady lookalike hangs out her window and starts yelling "Don't serve her! She cut in line!!"
Me and the girl in the window both just kind of freeze and stare at this woman, with the girl in the window standing with my bag kinda halfway out. I mean, what the hell else reaction can you have to that?
Churchlady continues to rage on. "I was waiting my turn in line and she came around all of us and she cut, she shouldn't get her food before me!!" (Um, by the way, lady, you had to get out of line to come around here and yell at us...)
The girl in the window blinks a minute, then looks at me and says "What's she talking about?"
"I used the drive-thru that was empty instead of the one that had three cars in it, including her."
"Uh....huh." The girl looked at the woman again, who was staring at us expectantly, and then looked back at me and handed me my bag. "Anyway, have a nice day."
"Yeah, you too." And with that, I started to pull off, listening to Churchlady suddenly start screaming and bellowing at the window about the unfairness of it all, I cut, blah blah blah. In my rearview, I saw the girl in the window simply slide her window shut, which made me kind of chuckle a bit.
Now, like I said, half an hour later, sitting in my office and eating my chicken, it has finally hit me what happened and I violated rule one with mayo and spicy chicken. Fortunately it was not onto my computer.
YES, I HAVE BECOME PART OF THE PROBLEM. *flogs self*

I guess they've had too many people like the church lady lookalike causing a scene.
