McMad

There must be something about McDonald's in the White Marsh section of our county.

A few years ago, on a busy Labor Day, Peggy and I were in line at the one over by the Post Office as the kids behind the counter were sear-sizzling the patties, applying condiments and cheese to them, and wrapping the burgers in rolls to feed the multitude. Yes, it was busy, and people wanted their McLunches and little chicken nuggies and fries and what-have-you. Everyone was working as hard as possible to feed the 5,000 with the five loaves and two fish, when suddenly, to the surprise of all, some yahoo from the back of the line started hollering, "We're hungry!" and "How about a little less talk and a little more work?" and the capper, "I thought this was supposed to be FAST food! Get moving."

Well.  A hush fell over the crowd and no one bothered to pick it up. You could have heard a fry drop in that restaurant as everyone stared at the bigmouth, mouths agape. People looked at him, then at the kids behind the counter, and then back at him. And no one was batting an eye for a while. Eventually the kids, shaking their heads in disbelief, went back to frying and wrapping and bagging.

And Mr Mouth suddenly became Mr Shut His Mouth And Walk Out.

Now comes word that at the other McDonald's, the one down by Target and Lowes, a guy appeared at the drive-thru window the other day, and the only thing he was driving was himself crazy.

Of course, someone was shooting video, and it has now gone viral. You can see it here, if you haven't had your daily fill of insanity.

According to police. the employees said this well-regulated citizen became angry in the drive-thru line and reached in to grab objects and toss them around while demanding food.

 

Police know who he is and they have filed charges, but they offered no further details.

In this year 2023, it really is a miracle that he didn't express himself through his sacred 2nd Amendment rights and turn the Golden Arches into a shooting gallery.

This world, and specifically this country, is rapidly filling up with people of parlous mental conditions. I'll join the millions who prefer to cook and eat their own food in their own homes.
