I guess this could be a rant. *laughs* After the fact it just seems oddly amusing and annoying.
Here's the story.
To me the next best thing about March next to St. Patrick's Day are McDonald's Shamrock Shakes. :D mmmmm!!
On my way to my parents, I phone home and ask mom if she's interested in a shake. She says "YES!"
My driver's side window is broken, so I pull in and park by the door. I crack the window for Kia and head in.
What I failed to notice was the school bus parked at the end of the parking lot.
The place was packed with kids (Albion's basketball team). There is a mob near the counter and there is no clear line. I probably should of just left, but I wanted a shake so bad.
So I paitently wait. And wait. And wait.
Slowly the group started to dissapate (I later learned that the coach paid for the entire bill and so as kids got their food they were walking away from the counter)
The coach was ordering for himself I think as I was standing there. There was 2 high school age girls in front of me and another two that I assumed were their friends standing off to the side.
They were gossiping quite loudly and then one of the girls hollars, "Girl you need to hear this! Get over here!" So the two girls standing ahead of me get out of line and scurry over to get the news. I step up. There is still about 4 people hovering at the counter and the cashier is making no attempt to ask them to step aside.
The coach walks away, the remaining kids walk away, the cashier says 'Next!' and as I start to step forward, all four girls rushed over and physically shoved me to the side and began ordering.

And I just stood there. http://www.cutestsandgirl.com/images.../icon_wall.gif
Granted I was upset, but I just took a deep breath and waited.
They kept throwing dirty looks over their shoulder at me and after they ordered instead of moving to the side, they just flanked the counter.
Three of the girls orders arrive and just as I think they are about to head off, the fourth girl orders food!!
And they continue to all stand there even after three already have their orders!!
And I still stand there saying nothing.
At this point, I notice the coach is standing near the door and he calls out for the kids to start heading back to the bus. (Unfortunately the rude four in front of me are not with the bus)
Some of the bus kids start to file out and I notice a few stop by my car and point at Kia. Suddenly one of the kids runs back inside and yells, "Dudes!! Come check out this dog with the freaky eyes." :eek: :rolleyes:
Next thing I know I have a basketball team hovering around my car gawking at Kia. Thankfully they didn't harrass her (lucky for them or else I WOULD be out there and knocking some skulls :p ) and the coach shooed them away.
By the time I turn my attention back to the counter, the girls have slowly ambled away and I step to the counter and smile.
I order my two shakes, a small fry for Kia, and I get a McFlurry for free for the trouble.
And the four girls are STILL shooting me rude looks as I walk out with my order.
I just shook my head.
I am far too nice.
