Knowing your limits
This story amuses me greatly:
It brings to mind the rite of passage that Maccas have been advertising recently - the getting of one's 'P's' and the driving of one (with one's non-driving friends, in one's mother's Cortina (that may just be me)) to the nearest Golden Arches for the getting of Drive Thru. Maccas chips, sorry, fries, never test as good as when they've been passed through that tiny window directly to YOU in the Driver's seat. (Again, this may just be me).
Anywa, what amuses me most about the story is the fact that I have enough trouble negotiating the Drive-Thru lane as it is... attempting to do it while completely slaughtered is..., well, let's just say I admire her ambition and persistence. Also HA!
*snort*
*craves chips. yes. chips*
A drunk 22-year-old woman on her P-plates has crashed into a McDonald's restaurant in Sydney's west while trying to negotiate the restaurant's drive-through, police say. The woman - who returned a blood alcohol level more than six times the legal limit for a fully-licenced driver - drove her Toyota Starlet into the drive-through of the restaurant on Harold Street, Macquarie Fields, about 2.45pm, police said.
While trying to negotiate the drive-through she smashed into a brick pole, severely damaging it and exposing electrical wires, police said.
The restaurant has had to close the drive-through until it is deemed safe to use.

every macca's drive thru that i have ever been through bears the scars of slight misjudgement.
(my cousin makes electric wheelchairs. a couple of years ago {say 15] he went through a macca's drive thru in an elecric wheelchair, whilst we all cacked ourselves in the nearby bushes. far out it was funny...he orders at the microphone box, proceeds to the paying window, then goes to the next window to get his goodies....oh the look on the faces of the staff).
Brilliant. Enjoyed a chuckle. You are very entertaining even at such a time of upheaval.
ponder - hee - this is something I would have dearly appreciated when stuck on drive-thru duty way back in the day!
Anon - thanks!
