Things People Do That Amaze You

Saw one today....

At my local fast food morning stop...(cough cough Mickey D's cough cough) I was waiting in line at the drive thru during change over. This is where they change from breakfast to lunch and service times generally slow down. I live that. 12 minutes in line yesterday, but I digress.

Today, a car whips out from behind me and pulls alongside another car in line. They proceed to have a conversation, while the second car is at the speaker!! 4 minutes, a couple of hinks and an FU, she finally pulled away so the guy could place his order.

Uh, hello? ever heard of a cell phone?

The 40 year-old manager of one of our local Mickey D's recently won the Ray Kroc award for managerial excellence. His quote in the paper: "I can say I did it, I reached the top."
Dude, your primary competition was teen-agers, and it's an award from fricking McDonald's, not a Nobel prize!

I can say from experience as a former retaurant manager that it is not an easy job. It's especially not easy to do it well. I applaud anyone who does a job and does it well no matter what line of work they're in. Were not all Nobel Prize winners.
