Hey, you want to know how to scare me?
Pull a gun on me. Nope, I’ve read enough detective novels over the years that I know how to handle that pretty easily.
Global warming? Nope, looking forward to the end of cold winters.
Obama taking Sarah’s babies away? Nope, the Democrats are going to get killed in the mid term elections. Besides, I suspect that she has more weapons than the Alaskan National Guard.
Six Flags, – Well you are getting close.
You want a sure way to scare me half to death and induce an anxiety attack. Pull into a drive through and ask me to do the ordering for everybody.
Or worse, make me order at Sonic.
There are two problems.
One, I can only remember one thing at a time. So if some people want cheeseburgers, others hot dogs, and others chicken nuggets. I’m lost. Further if this person wants it plain, the other no ketchup, and on and on. There is no way. Forget the drinks!
Second, the person on the speaker cannot understand me, and I cannot understand them. Try as as I might, I try to talk louder, slower, whatever they cannot make me out. Then when they recite the order back, I have no idea what they are saying. I can hear them find. I just cannot make out words of what they are saying. AAAAAAH. Help.
One of these days I want to pull this stunt.
I wouldn’t want to be on the other side of that order either!!! Ordering at the drive-thru can be frustrating at times.
Two thoughts for you today, Yogi…
1. Paper & Pen – write those orders down. You can read, right?
2. Hearing Aid – this requires no further explanation.
Hope that helps!
See you Tuesday!

You ought to try getting the right order with my accent my friend! Our local Sonic drives us nuts you rarely get the right order.
BTW please check this out, just in case you know anyone who might be able to help in Tulsa

Clearly your problem can be solved with paper and pencil. I usually go through our Sonic with Smokey in the car. He likes Sonic’s dollar corn dogs.
Funny post! Drive-thru’s are pretty bad around here. I have learned to always check the bag before driving away!
Sunny 🙂
In this day and age, you would think the drive through would get decent speakers. I’ve never been to one where you can actually hear what the employee is saying. maybe it’s purposeful so if they make a mistake on your order, no one has to take responsibility!
@Baloney, Tulsa Gentleman- Thanks for the thoughts!Paper and pencil for people who cannot make up their minds and change at the last moment? Hearing aid? I’ve had my hearing checked I have excellent hearing!! I just can’t make out what they say on the speaker.
@Britgal, Sunny, Janie – thanks for getting what I was writing about!
