10 People Share The Most Ridiculous Things That Happened To Them At McDonalds

by Elana

In April of 1955 a destiny was set in motion, some sort of global fast food take over was inevitable that fateful day. You see, it was in April of 1955 that the first ever McDonald's restaurant opened. Here's a fun fact about how far they've come, courtesy of Wikipedia:

McDonald's restaurants are found in 120 countries and territories around the world and serve 68 million customers each day.

Fast food is a staple these days, especially for odd hours of the night, when broke, while intoxicated, while traveling far distances, and just because it's the little ways you #treatyoself. Naturally, if you've been to a McDonalds in the last few years then you know there are some truths that are universal, as unfortunate as they may be. Like, the damn ice cream machine is nearly alway "out of order," or there's probably more than a 50/50 chance they'll mess up your order if you asked to hold an ingredient or add one. That said, there are still some experiences that scar more than others. These 10 experiences are just such examples.

Tasty? Maybe.

1. Don't touch mah foodz

“As a kid, I was in Detroit at a McDs and went to walk to my table after ordering. Well the guy in front of me was walking out with his order in front of me. He proceeded to leave the doors and brandished a pistol and point it at a couple kids nearby outside. As I sat down, I kept watching him out the window in disbelief. It seemed he was using it to keep the kids away from getting his food. I had no idea what to do and just sat there in shock.”

2. I am SPEED

“Went pretty late at night with 2 friends but we were picking up for a big group. We ended up ordering about 20 McDoubles and 10 McChickens. The cashier was super flustered because they didn’t have a lot of employees working at the time. The manager stepped in and started cranking out McDoubles at lightning speed. I’ve still never had a McDonald’s order that efficient.”

3. How embarrassing...

“Oh god. This also happens to be one of my most embarrassing moments.One time I went in and ordered a dine-in meal. I took my tray of food over to my table and had to cross a “wet floor” area. I slipped like someone on the movies: completely backward, food flying over my head. The staff was nice enough to comp me a fresh meal.I start to take THAT tray over to the soda machine, slip AGAIN, though this time I was able to save my food by sort of placing it on the counter as I was slippingCouldn’t save my pride, though. A woman looked at me trying to pull myself off my ass the second time and said, “Are you OKAY??” with a not very subtle tone of disgust.I think I was wearing new shoes and the soles were extra slick. But OMG.” Pinterest

4. Honestly, I'm lovin' it.

“This might not be the story you were looking for, but once in high school on lunch break, me and four friends went to a McDonald’s that was known for being a little sketchy, very inner city. We were all good friends so we would always pool our money so everyone could eat. We could only come up with five bucks between us so everyone got one of those one dollar chicken sandwiches they used to have, and we were not satisfied. Then as we were preparing to leave, a little old lady with a big smile came up to our table and said “you know what I see here? Brotherhood.” Weren’t sure what she meant at first, but then we realized that our group consisted of two white kids, one black, one Asian, and one Indian, which would be something she didn’t see much growing up when she was our age. She was so pleased she gave us another five dollars. We each got another sandwich, that was a good day.”

5. Unsolicited as heck.

“I have a Speech Impediment.I was coming back from the Hospital because one of my clients was in there for Surgery. I was hungry so I stopped at the McDonald across the street. After I wait in line and I’m done placing my order the man behind me asked why I talk the way I do. Then he started to give me improvised in the spot Speech Therapy.The worst part? I don’t even think he was a Speech Pathologist.”

6. ...Nice.

“I flew from ANC to LAX and tend to get travel sick. We were on our way to Disneyland and drove through Compton for some reason and I knew I was going to be sick so we stopped at a McD’s so I could puke. There was a group of super sweet black ladies in the bathroom who held my hair while I projectile vomited. Wasn’t a crazy experience or anything but definitely the most interesting thing that happened in a McDonald’s.”

7. Bad Omen

“No joke, my ticket came out to be $6.66 and immediately the cashier was like “May God Bless You…'”

8. Hair, the least nutritional part of any fast food meal. Which says a lot.

“When I was in high school, my friends and I used to go to McDonald’s and order a bunch of large fries, then dump them all together on a tray and go to town. Well, once we were about 3/4 of the way through a Fry Tray (TM) and someone found a hair. So they replaced the entire order with a new one”

9. I think I'll stay as long as humanely possible. - Kids

“When I was about 4 or 5 years old the playpen was temporarily closed. I was small enough to fit between the bars and had the whole thing to myself for like 3 minutes while my mom tried to get me out. Was eventually asked to leave. Worth it, though.”

10. OOPS

“My wife and I were coming out of a McDonald’s and walking toward our car. As I approached it my driver’s side opened and an elderly lady climbed out holding 2 iced coffees. My wife and I just stared at her and she said: “oops I got in the wrong car” she then walked to her car 2 spaces away that looked nothing like my car. We busted up laughing at her and might have made her feel bad. It was just so funny.”
