More Drive Thru Drama

You know you are having a bad day when the guy in the car behind you waiting at the drive thru calls out to you and says: 

"Hello!  Are you feeling okay?  You look really stressed out!"

How embarrassing is that? 

"Oh, I'm just not having a good day, that's all."

"I can tell!  Don't worry, things will get better.."

"I hope so, thanks!" 

Okay, now I really want to pull up my window, but now that he has pointed out how awful I feel, I'm feeling flushed, and I just want to scream out of my window to leave me alone!  But I don't.  I feel defeated.  It feels like everything is stacked up against me--win for lose situation...  This guy is making me want to cry now.  He won't shut up though.

"Now you owe me.  When I have a bad day, you are going to have to tell me the same..."

Yeah, right buddy...  I don't know you, and I'm never going to get to know you!  I think to myself.  Maybe this guy is just trying to hit on me or something.  Does that really happen?  I mean, do people actually use the drive thru to get dates nowadays?! 

I nod my way to his direction, and force a smile. 

I finally retrieve my food, and go off to my next destination for the day.  I look at my rear view mirror, and low and behold, there he is again, eating a Whopper over his steering wheel.  Lovely.  I race through the yellow light in hopes that he doesn't get through it.  My day now seems a little bit brighter...

Did he look like Charlie Sheen?

No...  He looked more like John Belushi.
