Angry woman gets revenge at McDonald's

Associated Press

ATHENS, Ga. - Police have been looking for a disgruntled McDonald's customer who ran into two other customers with her car after a dispute over who was next in line.

Melinda Ann Thomas, 34, and Linda Ann Thomas, 51, were standing in a crowded line around 8:30 a.m. Saturday as they waited to order breakfast, police said. A cashier opened a new line and they stepped to the front of it - a move that angered another customer who was waiting to order.

According to the report, the unidentified woman started yelling at them and threatened to kill them.

The woman then left the restaurant before the Thomases and stayed in the parking lot, sitting in her dark blue Jeep Cherokee, witnesses told police. As the Thomases made their way to their car, witnesses said the woman pulled out of her parking space and sped toward the women, striking them both with the passenger side of the Jeep.

Neither woman was badly injured, the police report said.

The woman is being sought by police on charges of aggravated assault.

On May 23 at a McDonald's in Covington, about 30 miles southwest of Athens, a man ran over two women and their three children, killing a 2-year-old. A suspect is facing murder and aggravated assault charges in the attack, for which authorities have said they have no motive.

Man, do these people really need to get fat that badly?

I have to ask again: what the hell is the matter with people?

We get annoyed when they open a new line and the last person in the old line moves over to become the first person in the new line.  We roll our eyes at the stupidity of the CASHIER.  But we don't club the person who took advantage of the situation.  Or hit them with our car.  We just stand in the old line and waut our turn.

Question, though - why the hell don't they take the next person in the old line to be the first person in the new line?

They do around here. It's just common courtesy and all cashiers say the same thing. "I can help whoever is next."

Around here you rarely see someone from the back of a line move to the new line. I was actually shocked when I read the story because of that. I guess the way things are done around here isn't the way it's done everywhere.

Around here we also don't go running people over when they tick us off.  I'm guessing most of these people failed Common Courtesy 101.
