I'm staying off the streets
So, anyway, after a mysterious kidnapping-type event on Monday night about which I won't bore you, last night I pull into the Burger King drive thru at 10:38 to get my BK veggie burger. There is some wanna be Eminem kid sitting at the menu board before the menu board with the speaker (the one to occupy you while someone else orders). THe yellow hoopty subaru should have been the first sign that I shouldn't have messed with him. AFter 8 (8!) minutes of him starring at the menu board without there being a car in front of him, I gave a quick toot on my horn. He hung his twisted little head around and said "I'm going to teach you patience bitch. Don't you try to rush me. YOu better just go on inside now, cause I ain't moving until you've learned your lesson." at that point I would have probably backed out except he'd created a nice long line of cars behind him. SO i patiently sat there for another 7 minutes until he finally realized that he wasn't getting to eat either and pulled ahead to the menu board with microphone. He sat there for another 5 minutes after he ordered "Number 9 with coke" (how could that possibly take 15 minutes to decide? and then when he pulled up to the window, he sat there for another 6 minutes while the poor woman just stood there baffled. WHen he finally pulled away, he yelled something objectionable that I couldn't quite make out. I don't think I can ever bring myself to go through a take out window again.

Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
