Today, I waited in line at a drive-through behind a man for ten minutes. I got out of my car, cursed at him, and then asked him to give me one good reason why it would take that long to order. The man slowly explained to me that he had a stutter. FML

Today, I was waiting in line for breakfast at the McDonald's drive-thru. After getting so fed up that the line hadn't budged for 10 mins, I pulled out of the line, only to realize I was waiting behind 2 parked cars that were just to the left of the drive-thru lane. FML
Today, I was stuck in the drive-thru line from hell. The guy in front of me started freaking out and demanded that I back out so he could pull out. I tried to tell him there were cars behind me, but that didn’t stop him from getting out of his car and kicking out my headlights. FML
Today, I went through the drive-through at Dunkin Donuts and asked for an iced coffee. After no response, I started frantically screaming about bad service. After a while, a woman came out to my car and said, "Please pull up to the speaker." I'd been yelling at a garbage bin for 5 minutes. FML
Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML
Today, a grown man yelled at me because he'd been waiting for 15 minutes and still hadn't been seated or had his order taken. We were at a self-serve breakfast buffet. FML
Today, while at a store, my stuttering problem became so bad the poor store clerk had to supply my own words for me. FML
Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML
Today, I went out to dinner. The waiter was pretty cute. He greets us, "Hi my name is... (long pause) Jordan." Thinking he was flirting, I quickly smart back, "Are you confused?" He says, "No actually, I have a stutter." FML
Today, I was in a hurry to get to work. I pulled impatiently behind a long line of cars to make a right hand turn. I sat there for 5 minutes. Turns out there wasn't a line to make a right hand turn. I had been waiting behind a line of parked cars. FML
Today, as I served an elderly man at the fast-food restaurant where I work, he leaned over the counter so that his face was mere inches from mine and asked me if I wanted to buy his car. When I politely told him I wasn't interested, he insisted on making a complaint about me to my manager. FML

Why the hell would you go screaming at the driver? The people working drive-thru could've been slow for all you know.

Omg I feel so bad for that poor man... I think OP feels awful because he did that and that's why his life is fked. It doesn't sound like he's looking for sympathy but more like punishing himself on fml right? Cause ppl can be really viscuous with the comments.

I assume he didn't suddenly start stuttering while waiting in the queue, so instead of holding everyone else up he should have gone inside the restaurant to order. Entirely his fault.

I'm on the fence about this. Yes, the person should have been more patient, but as someone who has worked in a drive thru, I also understand the OP's pain. I hate people who take forever to order through the drive thru. They need to go inside and actually look through the menu so that they don't hold up the line. it's rude.

Maybe he didn't need to look at the menu. He was just having a difficult time communicating. Quite possibly he felt there was less to make him nervous through the drive through (the impersonality of it). And if it was empty when he came there wasn't any reason he should have been pressured until OP pulled up behind him and went all bitchzilla.

I used to do fast food in Highschool/College. There was a lady in town, everyone knew her, she had like no tongue or voice box. So she had to write stuff down. There were times she would come through drive thru's with her written notes, but her hands shook and you could not read the writing. So she would get all huffy at everyone honking, and come inside. Then she could point out what she wanted on a place mat picture thing.

continued...which bring me to wonder why she didn't go inside in the first place if she cannot talk. Anyway, if the OP were in my drive thru, she would've been arrested for disorderly conduct and then given a restraining order. My managers didn't take that kind of crap from anyone! Doesn't help that my town is like frikkin Mayberry and the cops are like young versions of Andy Griffith.
