Teenagers…grrr…

I only eat there when I'm driving and need something. I get the 2 cheeseburger meal. Easy to eat while driving and minimal fixins on it so it doesn't make a mess. That's why.

Same. They have that cheese-like slice that holds it all together, lol.

Ever see the movie The Wild One…

Lol, gotta say no. I looked it up, about 30 years before my time of aliveness

I never understand why anyone would even want to eat anything from McD's I ate there once when they first came to town and never again if i wanted to eat a cardboard box i can get it free from any dumpster or wear a apron to catch all the stupid sauce they put on their so called burgers and i dont do drive thru's anymore have yet to go thru one and they get the order correct and then i have to waste my time arguing with them to get it right.

The city of El Reno is Soooooo excited for Sonic to open up.

I don't get that at allllll

Were teens always as stupid & thoughtless as some I encountered while shopping for groceries today? I saw a group of 3 males & 1 female that were walking around shopping then later they were using one of the store’s electric carts with the female in the basket. I thought it was mostly youthful foolishness until I had a direct encounter in the chip aisle. One of the males decided to interact with me by means of a “High 5, Sir”. I looked at him & asked if we knew each other & he said “No”. I told him to clear off & out of my way. He made comments to his group but I ignored & avoided them to continue shopping and checking out.

I don’t know why they felt the need to interact as I am generally in “gray man” mode & don’t look to randomly interact with others (of any age) in public settings. This crew of teens seems to have never had any real parenting. Do I just put this in my personal “old man shouts at clouds” (random Simpson’s reference) file?

No this goes under gumpy old men.

They're the same as they were 10 yrs ago and 10 yrs before that and 10 yrs before you existed. Just a different time and circumstance.

You should have High fived him...it would have made their day, but now their negative perception of any older people has been justified. They left with "he's just a grumpy old codge" attitude instead of "he's a cool old man"
Good Job

I had a little confrontation with a teenager in a Norman McDonald's a few weeks ago. Just one of those times when an inconsiderate person just pushes the wrong button.

It was pretty busy and I was about 5 or 6 people deep in line waiting to order. There was a kid in front of me wearing a hoodie (despite the fact it was 75-ish degs outside) and the hood was cinched up around his face like Kenny from South Park. Judging by the 60s vintage beatnik style beard and John Lennon glasses he was very late teens to early 20s.

5 to 7 mins or so and Kenny gets up to the cashier (a nice lady probably in her 50s) who asks him what he'd like. His face is buried in his phone and he actually says, "Hang on...I gotta write this text." That pissed me off. But, it actually only took him a few seconds. Then he looks up at the menu and says, "I'm not sure what I want." That really pissed me off. It's McDonald's, it's not complicated, and you've had 10 minutes to figure this **** out.

So I said, much louder than I intended, "FFS, dude. You've been in line for 10 mins. If you don't know what you want get the f*** outta my way because I do." He replies, "You better back up old man." Now this kid was all of maybe 5' 5" and about a buck-ten...with his clothes and backpack on. I pretty much let him know he was in serious danger of having his ass kicked by the old man and we exchanged a few more words. The manager came out and told me I needed to keep my voice down and calm down or he'd ask me to leave. I was out of line, no question. Like I said...little Kenny just pushed the wrong button. I despise inconsiderate people.

Anyway, the manager took his order and the original cashier lady took my order and there was no ass-kicking on the menu. When my order came up she gave it to me and said in a quiet voice, "Thanks for saying that to him. He comes in everyday after class (from some college) and acts this way. I put a few cookies in your bag, too."

Did you get your kids meal without a toy? Who was the adult here?

OP-
You said it happened on the chip aisle?
That young man was prolly one of them POT SMOKERS and he was trying to show his appreciation for your taste in Doritos or Corn Chips or whatever.
You might have harshed his buzz.

Should prolly say "Get off my Chip Aisle" but whatevs

OK, I’m on my podium,

We had over 107,000 drug overdose deaths last year! Over 106,000 in 2021. Nobody even talks about it. It’s like it’s not happening. Tent cities in all the blue states. Then all we hear about on the news is mass shootings everywhere. A total of 1,101 people have died from mass shooting since 1982 - 27 March 2023. Heck over 7,000 pedestrians die every year crossing the street. We have 336 million people in the US. The smart thing would be to significantly tighten security measures in schools and where large groups congregate. To make it illegal for the news media to show or mention the name of a mass shooter. To have repercussions for adults that don’t secure their weapons from children. Instead politicians talk about banning weapons? I think we have our priorities out of order.

Get rid of narcan and you could cut those od #'s real quick.
i know a girl that od'd 4 times in around 6 month Period.
please stop with the narcan Or whatever it's called.

Not sure. But I know who the a**hole is here. Did you not see where I admitted the kid just pushed my button and I was out of line? WTF else should I do...give you a hug? Would that make you feel better?
