OK, I have to come clean…I hate drive thrus!! I don’t know when or how it got started, and I may not be able to explain it without making myself look like a total nut-job (perhaps its already to late for that anyway), but I H-A-T-E going through the drive thru.

Why? My wife will laugh at this answer, but here goes: THE PRESSURE!! Who needs it? I absolutely hate being the guy in line that’s holding everyone else up. It’s some sort of neurosis man! I would honestly rather walk inside of a fast food joint than go through the friggin’ drive thru and deal with all that peer pressure.

You have peer pressure from everyone in the car…trying to figure out what everyone wants and repeating it back to that stupid little voice box. Peer pressure from the guy taking the order…s/he just wants you to get on with it and move along. Peer pressure from the people behind you in line that want you to get it done so they can be next.

I know it’s weird. I know the people in the car, and the restaurant, and the cars behind aren’t as impatient as I make them out to be…but it’s too much stinking pressure!!!

If you don’t believe me…just ask my wife sometime about a blueberry bagel. She’ll know what you mean and will tell you the whole story.

Just don’t ask me to go through the drive thru!   =0)
