Dear Woman Ahead Of Me In The Burger King Drive Thru,

Dear Woman Ahead Of Me In The Burger King Drive Thru,

I'm going to be candid with you, lady. It just shouldn't take you that long to order. With the advent of the internet, you can look up the Burger King menu before you drive up! Or, you can just order, SINCE IT'S BURGER KING AND THE MENU HAS BEEN THE SAME SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME. No, you really don't need a minute to think. You need a minute to think when you're going to a restaurant that has a large menu. Not in the FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU. You know what you want, and then you order. If you need a minute, seriously, GO THE FUCK INSIDE.

I understand that being put on the spot is hard. When that voice comes out of the little speaker, you feel the pressure. Or, I guess someone might. I certainly never do. Why? BECAUSE IT'S A FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU.

For the love of God, lady. Is it any wonder that I constantly worry about the collective intelligence of our society? If New Haven is any indicator, I need to worry.

Sincerely,
Liz
