That really sucks for the house that’s actually on fire. I wonder how long before help arrived there.

Street was blocked off by three firetrucks, with two more on the way, an ambulance and more firefighters than I’ve seen outside of a freakin’ parade.

No fire, but more commotion than my neighbors have ever witnessed. I’ve never seen people empty out of their houses faster.

Maybe it was the Sonic chick seeking revenge.

Good times.

Bix was not only clear and congenial, she basically said: "hey, let's start over" to give the Sonic chick another try, which she still managed to screw up. Not only do I think Bix handled herself well, most would have lost their shit. <br /> <br /> Teucer and I didn't think our chiming in would help the matter. I was having my own micro-drama trying to unstick the stuck duct tape and in this situation, Teucer did indeed make it worse by giving me shit and making me laugh harder.

I said that I was polite in the initial comment. In fact, I knew it was busy so I spoke slowly and clearly. In fact, Cat and Teucer were impressed how patient I was considering how ridiculous it was.

Is that good enough or should I have gotten out of the car and offered to go inside, ring up my own order and bag it myslef?
