Yesterday I went to In 'N' Out's drive-thru. However, I drove right past the intercom to order my food. I didn't realize what I'd done until my little sister informed me I was suppose to order at the intercom some 15 feet behind me. Meanwhile, another car drove in hindering my ability to even consider backing up. I couldn't go forward, I couldn't go backwards. I immediately noticed several people sitting at their outdoor tables starring at me wondering if I was crazy. So I put my car in park, walked up to the car behind me and tried to explain to them that I'd pulled up too far and that I needed to stand there and order my food. Trying to explain to the person on the other side of the intercom what I did, I finally ordered, got in my car and waited for the line to move forward. I then had to explain to the cashier at window #1 that the order he just read to me actually belong to the car behind me, and that my order is the one after theirs (have I lost you yet?). By the time I pulled up to window #2 my story must have filtered through all of In 'N' Out because window #2 lady said, "Oh, you are the one that passed the intercom!" Not one of my finest days.
(In hindsight I realize I probably should have just stayed in my car and explained that I'd missed the intercom and ordered with the window #1 guy.)

Ooohhh In N'Out burger, I'm jealous. Funny story, what we will do for a good hamburger.
Funny! Don't you just love doing embarassing things??? As my aunt would say, "You made a memory!"
that's funny...but what's funnier is your tenacity in getting that dang order in! what great lengths we'll go for the things we love...
You crack me up! Don't worry, I once had to repeat "icecream cone" at the McDonalds intercom about 15 times, before they told me to come inside & speak with a manager? WTF
This is Sara by the way. (didn't realize I was logged in as Brock) :)

I love it! You are too funny...but don't worry, that's totally something I would do!
