When I woke up today I decided since it was the weekend I would just jump on my computer after I got out of the shower instead of eating some breakfast first, this really isn’t much different than any other day with the exception of the fact that during the week I always get something on the way into the office.
A few hours flew by and I still hadn’t moved from the computer, doing all the normal things I do when I get online, checking emails, Twitter, and in the event someone decided to leave a comment I am on the case checking those too. I needed to send out a contract to a potential domain name purchaser for one of my currently inactive domains, and write up a few specials that we will be offering soon in our business’s, once I finished those tasks I was pretty much free and clear to do whatever I wanted today.
By the time I looked at the clock it was already a little after 1pm and I still hadn’t eaten anything, with an early dinner last night and no fun fatty snack I am beyond being hungry by this point. There was not a chance that I was going to eat something at home, instead I decided I wanted to rip up some McDonalds to help me through recovery after Lisa’s birthday.
We have two McDonalds in the area, both which are terrible but get the job done in a pinch. I get to the light just before the McDonalds and I start to decide what I want to eat, than I drift off and realized there was a picture I wanted to tweet… I left my damn phone home, hate that.
The light changes and I am only moments away from something completley terrible for me, yet so satisfying. Well that was until I pulled into the parking lot to see at least 20 cars on the drive-thru line, and when I say 20 cars I mean 20 cars. There went the plan of having something fast from a fast food place, at this point I knew it would take me longer to get to the next fast food place and get my food than it would take if I just stayed on the massive drive-thru line.
As I waited on the line I became more pissed off that I didn’t have my phone than I was about being on a huge line or the fact that I was starving and my rib cage had began to be eaten by my stomach. I was pissed about not having my phone because I certainly would have tweeted a picture of the longest drive-thru line I have ever seen in my life, again it was huge.
Ok I need to stop, the more I write this the more I realize how boring of an article it is. I need to get to the point fast here.
After the line started moving my position on the line advanced and the traffic behind me was no longer existant, I guess I was the last guy on the lunch rush line. I am getting closer and closer to being able to order when some moron in a 1910 van decides he is going to come in the side entrance and get in front of me, ummmmm… Yeah, as if Im going to let this ball bag jump in front of me on line when I have been sitting there for twenty plus minutes? I think not.
I ended up being an asshole and sliding my car bumper close enough to the car in front of me to make it clear that he would have to go over me to get in my spot, you know the big duel. We have all been through the big deal and it’s always because there is some other moron that doesn’t understand the concept of a “line”, or the concept of actually waiting their turn in line.
I know what I did in this situation, but I am curious what you would have done? Would you jokey for position or be more passive and just let him take your spot in line? Leave a comment, let’s hear it.

I thought you were from New York, there’s no question not only do you keep him from cutting in line, you make it known that he’s an asshole for even thinking about it, whether it’s by yelling at him, flipping him the finger or taking pictures with the cell phone. That seems to work out well! lol
Mike´s last blog ..Poll: What’s Your Opinion On The New Starbucks “Local” Coffee Shops?
I can always tell a true New Yorker, I could smell the anger from your finger tips as you responded. Perfect.
Your bounce rate just got a little better because I was reading while my wife was getting ready and we just got back from Wally World and the Munchies are in the house
I also was thinking of a way to automatically increase your profit margin on the 8 dollar spray on tan. If someone has 8 they have 10 ;)
thanks for supporting me and my blog I do appreciate it
stumbled Rt all that Peace

Tell you the truth John, if I saw a line that big I would have parked the car and gone in to order my meal. I’ve found the wait to be much shorter as the service is a lot faster inside. I reckon I would have been on the way home with my meal with a lot less agro.
As for the cutting in part, if I had to wait in line the only way a car would get in front of me is if some gorgeous babe was driving it.

when I was young I could not control my temper. I spent alot of time getting it under control. It’s take a lot to blow my cap but when it does step back there is going to be trouble. I think Sang is the only one to ever to push my buttom. If the line jumper pissed me off that bad I guess I would have to take my big ass size 13 and crush in his door to start. Then smack him like a little bitch. Unless it’s a hot chick then it would be OK like Sire said.

@John Sullivan Thanks John I appreciate the love, and thanks for helping the bounce rate.
@Sire I would have gotten out of the car but I had on like the grubbiest none working outfit from sitting around by the pool and some flip flops on.
@James nice bro let it all hang out and crush the door, all though Im not sure this guy would have cared, the van was pretty beat up and dented already. Most likely from people kicking it all the time, haha.
Hi John, I’m with Sire, I would have never gotten into that line unless I wasn’t wearing pant or something. Inside is usually wide open.
As for the jerk trying to cut in line – Over 25 years of trucking has taught my to never ever for any reason let anyone cut in front of you! Unless she is hot and then you really have no choice. It’s coded into us or something.
Take the license … You got connections …
I would have gone in and ordered the food. The guy that cut the line needs a nice middle finger pulled out and a horn blown at him. Thanks Greg Ellison

I agree with Sire too…I would take a trip inside. On a side note, where did you get the “please tweet up” graphic next to your button? Is that self made?

I’d have the front wheels of my jeep up on his hood. Screw that.
@Brian D. Hawkins my Father in law is a truck driver so I have a pretty good idea where your coming from when you make that statement.
@Sang haha not sure thats a good call
@Greg yeah the middle finger is always nice, I hooked someone up this morning with two of those.
@Tycoon Blogger that would have been the better plan, I should have prepared better before I went in the event of that situation.

He’s not getting my spot, but she might!
I would have been inside, though. Saves time and gasoline.
And I can so relate to waiting until the stomach starts digesting other body parts before thinking about eating. It’s hard to stop when you are on a roll.
