• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

You ever get stuck in the drive thru so long you want to shoot someone?

Having been in a Popeye's drive-thru, I completely understand.
I’m fairly calm generally and I was caught in one of those for what felt like a half hour before even taking the order and I had to yell throw the talk box “guys I can hear you through the microphone what the hell is taking so long” before getting my order taken. Theres gotta be a reason why Popeyes is so consistently bad in the customer service department

Give ya one guess.
 
Thanks @quickfeet - cool story.

I GOT ANOTHER I SWEAR TO GOD THIS IS TRUE FOR YOU - "I aint leaving' here till I shoot somebody!"

Back story - I did automotive advertising when I had my large ad agency. I always went in on Mondays to get the weekend sales figures and either be a hero or a zero. But the general manager was talking to the cops - seems a dude believed he got screwed on a Silverado deal and had walked into his salesman office with a gun. The salesman talked him out of shooting him and then the man stood up and said "I ain't leaving' here til i shoot somebody!"

Cops arrived and no body got shot. the salesman quit the following day. Go figure.
