I guess he couldn't have it his way at Burger King.

It does kind of piss me off when a restaurant doesn't have lemonade. It's my beverage of choice (non-alcoholic category).

Its the lemonade blends that some places that get me elchamp - raspberry lemonade, mango lemonade. Vodka lemonade.

What did he think the cops would do? Force Burger King to make lemonade just for him?

It's the end of the world as we know it.

Cop: Lessee, here, Burger King worker, how come you don't have lemonade for this customer? Huh? Huh? Fix up that lemonade, pronto, or we're gonna run you in for refusing to serve lemonade, a felony in the third degree!

That's what the guy thought would happen. Either some form of dementia or the ever-present sense of supreme entitlement is at play here.

All joking aside, this is why I could never be a 911 operator. This would really piss me off.

semsc - A little off topic, but I do have an amusing story. When I graduate college, I threw a little celebratory bash at the homestead. One of my good buddies for some reason brought a case of Twisted Tea. Hardly anyone touched it, and it ended up in the leftover-purgatory also known as the "Fridge in the Garage".

About a week or so later, my mom was on her way to work and realized she was out of her old standby - Snapple. So as she's on her way out the door she checks the fridge, takes a quick look at the Twisted Tea, and grabs some - she'd never seen it before and just assumed it was regular iced tea.

For the next week she brought Twisted Tea into work and drank it with her lunch at her desk. No one in the office ever said anything to her. Then on Friday it was a nice day outside so she ate on a park bench. One of her younger co-workers walked by and smiled and said "Wow, getting happy hour started early, huh?" My mother asked her what she was talking about and was then informed of Twisted Tea's 'secret ingredient'. Needless to say, she was embarrassed.

I asked her if she really truly didn't realize there was alcohol in it and she said no, she didn't. She said "I just thought it was really good iced tea!"

He should have read the menu board by the drive through speaker

GREAT story, elchamp! I'm guessing work might have been just a little bit bearable for her that week!

JUST ANOTHER PRIME IDIOT

Elchamp - I love Twisted Tea in the summer! Just the lemon one - However, I am aware of the alcohol, and if you drink about 6 of them you can get a pretty good buzz on :)

Meanwhile someone is dying and the 911 operator is busy with this doofus.

WTF is wrong with people??

[stopeatingmysesamecake]

Elchamp - the 'spiked' teas and lemonades can taste pretty good (meaning like the regular stuff).

Didn't we skewer a father here who accidentally gave his son a Mikes lemonade?

Seems an honest mistake by your ma.

The ol' sour puss didn't get his lemonade
therefore he'll get his day in court
& have to pay those costs as well.

As the old saying goes:
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Old people definitely have a sense of entitlement. This oldtard probably has dementia as well. It's comforting to know he was in the DRIVE-thru! Indicated by his idiotic behavior he had NO business behind the wheel of a car. Glad he was charged with something.

[The Asshole Guy]

Elchampino that is 100% gold. You should send that to Readers Digest. Yes, only old people read it but it made me laugh pretty damn hard.

I don't know if your mother is still alive or not but I am wondering if she still enjoys the drink.

As for the story. Someone could have pissed into a cup and stuck a lemon in it. I doubt he would have noticed the difference.

[James]

I love the story. But, one time it was hollowen and my mom was drunk, and my older brother wanted some lemonaid so my mom gave him a miles, and she had to take him to the e.r, he was apparently intoxicated. Lmao, drunk tddler.

I work at a restaurant and have to deal with the retirement community people all the time. They are full of such ridiculous demands such as to make the microwave heat something faster, make water boil at a lower temperature and know the difference between what they ordered and what they 'meant to order'.

There have also been demands that their food be made before anyone else can have theirs, and that they have an instant pass to the front of the line.

And the ruder they are the happier I am to burst their bubble. Its never to late to learnt that instant gratification is a myth
