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.

It isn't your fault that that man doesn't know how to write down his order on a piece of paper and hand it to the people. 10 minutes is absolutely ridiculous in a drive-thru, and he should have been more aware that his condition was really ******* over other people. You did the right thing, and hopefully he will realize to be more aware of his situation.

Crippled/****** up people are allowed to show consideration of others, too. If the drivethru was the OMG only possible way this guy could get his order, then yeah, have patience. But he could have taken in a list instead of making everybody wait for him to choke it on out.

So its ok to just jump out of the car and curse at anybody for holding you up? Awesome!

If he was in a rush, it would have been a buttload quicker to GO INSIDE WITH A LIST, wouldn't it? I hope you're buying the tickets when this dude decides he should be an opera singer, or he's going to starve. ;)

I just want to point out again that he might've stayed in his car out of embarrassment. Let's be honest, people don't go for fast food in order to wait for their food. People inside would've been just as impatient and he would've been able to see them huffing and puffing and possibly jeering and leering. Also, it is sometimes easier for people with a stutter to talk to machines instead of people.

Nice way to be a bitch. Poor guy probably gets a lot of crap from people like you already and you go ahead and make it worse. It's no wonder why people with speech problems and abnormalities wish hey weren't around. People can be so cruel.

I hope the people working there spit in your food. Usually you can hear others make their orders if you have the window down. Should have figured out why it took so long, parked, and ordered inside.

Coming from a guy with a stutter: I hope you get hit by a truck. That is all.
