Duane L. Williams only wanted to super-size his value-meal... Now the poor guy's been charged with "simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment."
According to the AP, Williams "thought the clerk at a fast-food drive-through was rude for not saying 'please' and 'thank you' [so he pried open the drive through window and] punched her in the face."
We all have our share of fast-food horror stories. Sometimes they're stingy with the ketchup... or top a burger with everything except the condiment you requested.
Somehow, I've managed to restrain myself from physically assaulting the cross-eyed teenagers who lurk behind grease-coated windows. (A few deep breaths, a mouthful of fries...and the moment passes.)
Who knows what was on Williams' mind on Thursday. Maybe he had a bad day... maybe he's trying to start his own sick version of Pay-It-Forward... (Punch-it-Forward?). I honestly don't know.
It's your turn - What's the worst/strangest experience you've ever had at a drive-through window?
Hah! I was getting a burger the other day at BK. Drove up to the window and this dude keeps yelling "carrier, carrier, carrier!" I'm thinking, what the he'll is this kid on? Did he just spot a long-lost pidgeon? Am I diseased? Nope, he was asking if I wanted a drink carrier for my soda.
I'm used to one word answers or questions from this set... as long as my burger's still warm, I'm happy. For $5 what more can you expect?
