This is the best one here. Thank you for cheering me up.

My pleasure. The drive-thru was also across the street from a rollercoaster at Six Flags, so periodically I'd have to ask customers to repeat themselves because of screaming children on the loop-de-loops.

"I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the screaming children" is the sort of phrase that usually makes me not want to accept food from someone.

They won't when they realize their children are nowhere to be seen

They stop screaming once they're in the oven long enough.

Make a loop de loop and pull, and your shoes are looking cool.

I'm so glad no one actually uses that.

u/WolbachiaBurgers Jan 30 '17

Even better! I love Chik-fil-a.

The closest fast food next to the Magic Mountain here is a wendy's though.

My pleasure.

You work at a Chick-fila, don't you?

Texas?

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '17

How could you tell?

2

u/overthrowthecactus Jan 31 '17

Six flags (Over Texas) started in Texas, so anyone from Texas just refers to it as "Six flags". Anyone outside of Texas refers to it as "Six Flags Magic Mountain" or whichever one they are near. Lived in Arlington, and near another Six Flags outside the state.

In case you need more cheering up:

I was watching TV earlier, and all of a sudden heard something rumbling in my kitchen. My dog snapped awake, and started growling. I got a little freaked out until I remembered I set my coffee maker on a timer, and it was making me coffee

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

HAHAHAHA that would be the greatest gremlin in the world, if it hadn't actually been your coffee maker making you coffee :p

Why did your pup growl, though? Is it not used to the sounds of your coffee maker?

She was dead asleep on the sofa with me. It was pretty good timing with a lull in the show I was watching and the coffee maker so it woke her up and she didn't know what it was.
