Please Pull Forward!
I like drive through's because they are convenient. However, some people do not completely understand the concept of a drive through. These people are the topic of my Rant today!
Has this ever happened to you? You are in your car waiting in line at the drive through of your choice (my choice is usually Starbucks). The person in front of you places their order and for some reason only pulls forward about 7 feet! You clearly do not have enough room to get even close to the speaker/microphone so that you may place your order because the last 4 feet of their car is STILL IN FRONT OF THE SPEAKER! This wonderful citizen still has no clue that anyone is in line behind them, plus the fact that they are obviously afraid of the vehicle and driver in front of them- so they are staying cautiously away!
At this point, the employee working the drive through is asking you via the speaker you're not close to, if you would like to try some sort of green tea something-or-other. "No...I just want the idiot in front of me to pull forward a little more!"
4 vehicles in front of you, a happy couple has just received their drinks and is leaving the drive through area. 3 vehicles in front of you a Toyota Pathfinder pulls to the window, 2 cars ahead of you is following closely behind the Pathfinder and then there is your friend...and God only knows what they are doing! They drive forward about another 6 feet, still at a "safe" distance behind the car in front of them, but thankfully you can get close enough to the speaker/microphone to place you order without having to shout. You politely place your order and now the mind-set shifts. I like this part! Now its your turn to make room for the person behind you to order, so what do you do? Well, obviously you must pull forward as far as you can, even if that means making the driver of the vehicle in front of you a little uncomfortable due to the lack of distance between your car and theirs (remember how scared they are of other vehicles).
What is it with those people? They coincidently are usually the same ones who drop their money on the ground, suddenly remember they need to buy a gift card, return their drink immediately and/or refuse to drive away until they have put all of the change into the proper sized slots of the arm rest console.
If you are one of these people, or know one of these people, please, please, please...
PULL YOUR DANG CAR FORWARD!

People are stupid.
That's awsome Matt. I'd love to hear you rant ramble or all of the above about employees that are too helpful.
you're hilarious! I am one of those people who has dropped money, bought a gift card on a second window whim and returned a drink because it's not hot enough!Sometimes I even taste a fry to make sure it's not old! But, at least I pull my dang car forward!
I hate it when these people go thru the drive thru and all of this shenanegans and then pull around and park and GO INTO THE STORE ANYWAY to use the bathroom or something. God bless theSE intelegance challenged individules. ( and by 'god bless' I mean... MOVE YOU DANG CAR YOU IDIOT!)
