Josh Raby, the creator of a web series called Local Air, just wanted a milkshake from McDonald’s late at night over the weekend.
He got a lot more than he bargained for.
Fortunately for us, Raby live-tweeted his McDonald’s experience late Sunday night, as one weird exchange gave way to the next.
“It’s 1AM and I decided I wanted a milkshake. So there’s a McDonald’s near my house,” Raby told his Twitter followers.
“I’m greeted at the drive thru by the following sentence: ‘Hey holy s–t hello, you are at McDonald’s, and I am begging your patience.'”
Holy s–t? It only got weirder from there …
Have Patience?
Praise you?
Milkshake.
If only it were so simple.
I Need a Minute
For your non-descript milkshake.
I Do Have Apple Pies
Okay then …
Are You OK?
I’m not OK. (Clearly.)
How About a Chicken Sandwich?
That was just asking for confusion.
Dude …
… wait, what?!
Uh, I’m Sorry …
… it’s okay, let me succeed at getting you a chicken sandwich at least?
I Feel Bad About That Shake
You sure you don’t want some pie?
Sure, Fine …
Good. What a steal! At this point, thankfully, the man found his wife. “Then there is a weird series of beeps and when his voice comes back in he is f–king SCREAMING into his headset: ‘I FOUND HER! THANK GOD!'” Raby recalled. We now resume the live-tweeting …
Who Did You Find!?
It’s been 22 minutes FYI.
My Wife Wants to Talk to You!
Did we mention the pies are a great deal?!
2 For $2!
Un. Real. Deal.
Why in the …
After justifiably wondering how, and why he ever got into this situation, Raby was able to pull through to the pick-up section of the restaurant, where things somehow grew stranger still. “I pull around and they are f–king making out in the window and he has his thumb out like he is aware I will be driving up to this,” he tweeted. “Both of these people are in their mid-40s … they unstick themselves from one another and I hand him my card. ‘Sorry about this. I haven’t worked at McDonald’s in 16 years,’ he says.”
This is Where We Met!
Apparently, the employee didn’t like Raby’s response. “I say ‘it’s fine’ to which he says ‘FINE just stands for F–KED UP, INSECURE, NEUROTIC, and ERROR-PRONE.'”
You Get to Leave Now
Thank goodness.
BTW …
The chicken sandwich order was wrong.
Yes, This All Happened
