Fast Food
Driving up
Waiting in line
Squinting to see
The tiny writing
On the large menu
Rolling down your window
Shouting into the microphone a mile away
Giving the teenager your order
Listening while they repeat it
Yelling again to correct them
Pulling up behind what seems like a billion cars
Waiting for minutes as the car behind you honks like it's your fault
Getting annoyed with the person in front of you
Finally pulling up to the small window
Paying the teenager with the change you've had ready since you ordered
Pulling your food into the car
Realizing you didn't ask for barbeque sauce
Asking for some more
Waiting as the car behind you inches closer
Finally getting your barbeque sauce
Rolling your window up
Pulling out of the drive-thru line
Taking ten minutes to drive home
Walking into your kitchen
Dropping everything but your greasy bag and soda
Pulling out the food
Letting out a sigh of.... wait where is the ketchup?
